You just don't get it.
"Benefit" is a wholly subjective term.
Not in Israel's case. After JFK's death, US aid to Israel went from $40 million to $300 million in three years. The pressure on Dimona evaporated and construction went ahead full steam. LBJ covered for Israel when they killed 31 US Servicemen on the Liberty. If it had been any other ally it would have caused a major controversy. If it had been a hostile country it would have caused a war.
LBJ obviously owed Israel a major favor. It seems like a logical conclusion to me, although I know you don't agree Charles. It also seems rather obvious what that favor was.
Dealey Plaza took him from jail to the WH in a few short minutes. It literally saved his life.
Once again Mark... you might check into your quoted numbers or at least offer a source for the "data" you present...
The amount of funds increases during JFK's tenure from and what happens in the first couple LBJ years???
So while Israel is dealing with Dimona and the Arabs... Aid to Israel FALLS - it is not until 1971 that Aid to Israel topples $300M and not until Ford does the Dam break.

So please Mark... SUPPORT YOUR POSTS WITH SOME DATA... or a link, or a source... something other thatn "you say so"
And I posted Johnson's letter to illustrate that the COMMUNICATION TONE does not change with LBJ... the MIC benefits by selling Israel arms... not arming the territory with Nukes... yet.
Why help them with the doomsday device when you can make billions selling conventional arms to BOTH sides, THEN help with the nuclear arms race.
As it actually happened... what a surprise, right?
Mark... in every instance you offer informmation, opinion and references they wind up pointing int EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION of your conclusions...
Why is that?
