Famed Israeli journalist Barry Chamish (left), recently wrote that Final Judgment “makes
a pretty cogent case for the Mossad being the moving force behind the assassination of
JFK.” A self-described “Zionist” who says he is “committed to the strength and survival
of Israel,” Chamish accepts Final Judgment’s contention that the Permindex corporation
was a Mossad front for covert operations and that it is plausible that Israeli Prime Minister
Ben-Gurion would have lent Mossad expertise to the plot to the kill JFK as a result of
Ben-Gurion’s dissatisfaction with JFK’s opposition to Israel’s nuclear aims. Earlier, on
Aug. 31, 1996, Ray Kalainikas, a reader of Final Judgment, encountered famed CBS
broadcaster Walter Cronkite (right) at the farmer’s market in West Tisbury on Martha’s
Vineyard. Kalainikas outlined the thesis of Final Judgment to Cronkite, who listened
intently. Then, looking out to sea, Cronkite remarked succinctly: “I can’t think of any
group—with the exception of Israeli intelligence—that would have been able to keep the
JFK assassination conspiracy under wraps for so long.”
The idea that Israel’s Mossad would conspire against an American president—the precise
thesis of Final Judgment—gained new credibility when it was revealed by Gordon
Thomas in his book, Gideon’s Spies, that the Mossad had blackmailed President Bill Clinton
with illicitly recorded conversations between the president and Monica Lewinsky.
This revelation added fuel to the impeachment drive against Clinton at a time when there
was growing conflict between Clinton and Israel. Later, Clinton enraged the Israeli lobby
by publicly raising questions about Israel’s “secret” nuclear arms program—following in
the footsteps of his hero, John F. Kennedy who had done the same thing privately.
Although numerous Israeli “connections” to the circumstances surrounding the Lewinsky
affair did emerge, the full story about the Mossad role in the matter remains untold.
