[502] Final Judgment 598
That's all well and good, but the fact is that there is a very distinct Israeli
connection here.
In reference to Weberman and Canfield, it's probably worth noting (as I
point out in Final Judgment) that they were the source of perhaps the thing that
I found the most intriguing of all—and indeed, the first real reference to any
suggestion that somehow there was a "Jewish connection," so to speak, to the
JFK assassination.
I refer to their statement in their book that "After the assassination, an
informer for the Secret Service and the FBI who had infiltrated a Cuban
exile group and was in the process of selling them machine guns reported
that on November 21, 1963 he was told, 'We now have plenty of money—
our new backers are the Jews—as soon as they take care of JFK.' This man
had furnished reliable information in the past."
This was the first time ever that I had seen anything suggesting that "the
Jews" were involved in the JFK assassination. I read this particular book
and this quotation for the first time in 1978 (well before I ever heard of the
research appearing in Dope, Inc. or any of the allegations by Dr. John Coleman,
among others.).
Then, time and again, over the subsequent years, as I leafed through and
re-read Coup d'etat in America, the meaning and impact of this unusual reference
began to come into focus as I explored all of the different facets of not
only the JFK assassination but all of the different forces that were aligned
against the American president at the time of his murder.
Obviously it wasn't a "Jewish plot" to assassinate JFK, but I did, of
course, ultimately come to realize that there was indeed an Israeli
connection to the murder involving highly-placed individuals who
happened to be Jewish and who were interested in furthering the conspiracy
to advance the interests of the Jewish state.
Many of the more naive and perhaps "liberal" of the JFK assassination
researchers (particularly those who never explored JFK's Middle East
policy, which put him at loggerheads with Israel) would no doubt have been
flustered and puzzled by the suggestion that "the Jews" would have any
desire to "whack" John F. Kennedy. After all, as even one of my young
critics said, "Why would the Jews want to kill John F. Kennedy? They
voted for him in 1960." I told him: "Read Final Judgment. The book will
answer your question." (After he finally read the book, he commented:
"That's pretty interesting. I never knew that." And I've heard that comment
quite often, needless to say.)
Needless to say, despite all these allegations and Dr. John Coleman's
charge that "Zionism" was behind the JFK assassination, I never found any
motive put forth. I've always been told that any murder investigation must
inquire into possible motives. Well, lo and behold, as my own research
continued, I did indeed begin to find motives for Israeli involvement in the
JFK assassination.
My first indication of an Israeli motive came when Seymour Hersch's book,
The Samson Option: Israel's Nuclear Arsenal and American Foreign Policy
was issued in 1991. In this book Hersh very clearly outlines the fact
