Chapter Two
Off With His Head:
A Mossad Plot to Kill an American President
Would Israel's Mossad actually consider assassinating an
American president perceived hostile to Israel? A former
Mossad agent says "yes." According to ex-Mossad man Victor
Ostrovsky, the Israeli spy agency hatched a plan to kill
President George Bush.
If President John F. Kennedy was killed by a conspiracy
orchestrated—at least in part—by Israel's spy agency, the Mossad, this
evidently not be the last time that the Mossad planned the assassination of
an American president. According to former Mossad agent, Victor
Ostrovsky, elements of the Mossad were plotting an attempt on the life of
President George Bush. The reason: according to Ostrovsky, Bush was hated
by the Mossad and considered an enemy of Israel.
This amazing revelation was published in the February 1992 edition of
the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs. The author of the report was
former Congressman Paul Findley (R-Ill.), himself a prominent critic of
Israel. (Findley's best-selling book, They Dare to Speak Out: People and
Institutions Confront Israel's Lobby, is a classic exposition of the way
Israel's lobby has worked to silence American critics of the foreign nation.)
Findley reported that Ostrovsky had learned through his sources in the
intelligence community that because of President Bush's seeming
intransigence toward Israel's demands, the Mossad had begun coordinating
plans for the assassination of the American president.
Ostrovsky relayed this information to several members of the Canadian
parliament, indicating that the Mossad and not Israel's elected leadership, is
"the real engine of policy in Israel." 8 One of those attending the meeting
with Ostrovsky passed the information on to another former U.S.
Representative, Paul N. (Pete) McCloskey (R-Calif.).
Upon learning of the potential threat to President Bush, ex-
Congressman McCloskey himself flew to Canada where he met with
Ostrovsky. According to Findley: "Ostrovsky impressed McCloskey as a
patriotic Zionist who believes the Mossad is out of control. Ostrovsky told
him the present leadership of the Mossad wants 'to do everything possible
to preserve a state of war between Israel and its neighbors, assassinating
President Bush, if necessary." 9
"He said a public relations campaign is already underway in both Israel
and the United States to 'prepare public acceptance of [vice president] Dan
Quayle as president.' After lengthy discussion during which he became
convinced that Ostrovsky was 'real' and telling the truth, McCloskey took
the next flight to Washington.
