[18] Final Judgment 79
In fact, two authors known for their devotion to the Zionist
cause—John Loftus and Mark Aarons—have stated candidly that many
friends of Israel do believe that FDR's death was quite fortuitous: "Although
American public opinion was favorable toward Jews, few Zionists trusted
Roosevelt entirely . . . As several leading Zionists admitted, if Roosevelt
had lived, it is unlikely that Israel would ever have been born. They knew
what they were talking about.” 21
AN INTERESTING FOOTNOTE IN HISTORY . . .
We could speculate forever about how FDR really died. However, we do
know—based on a very reliable source—that FDR's successor, Harry
Truman, was in fact the target for assassination because he was perceived
hostile to Zionist interests. According to Margaret Truman, daughter of the
late president, the Jewish underground terrorist movement in Palestine
known as the Stern Gang once tried to murder her father.
In a biography of her father Miss Truman discussed the attempt on her
father's life by Puerto Rican nationalists. Then, in a little-noticed, but
highly significant aside she commented: "I learned in the course of my
research for this book that there had been other attempts on Dad's life,
which he never mentioned . . . In the summer of 1947, the so-called Stern
gang of Palestine terrorists tried to assassinate Dad by mail . . .” 22
The Jewish terrorists, it seems, had sent the president letters that had been
tainted with toxic chemicals. Fortunately, the mail was intercepted and no
harm was done. Harry Truman, of course, got the message, though, and
rushed to recognize the state of Israel upon its founding in 1948, despite his
own reservations and those on the part of his diplomatic advisors.
This clumsy attempt to kill Truman is interesting, to say the very
least, and points to a proclivity for political violence on the part of the
Israeli leaders in the Stern Gang whom, it should be pointed out, were the
very individuals who emerged as the leaders of the Mossad following the
establishment of the state of Israel.
A PATTERN OF EVIDENCE . . .
Very clearly, there is strong evidence—indeed a pattern—to suggest that
Israel would indeed consider the assassination of an American president.
With this in mind, let us move forward and examine the evidence which will
lead us toward a final judgment.
