Why the American far right is convinced that the Jews killed JFK

By: Elora Bain

Twenty-four hours: this is the time it took the American fachosphere to claim that the 63,000 pages of documents declassified by the White House concerning the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy betrayed the existence of an imaginary “Zionist plot”tells the American magazine The Atlantic. The most cash was the far -right negationist Stew Peters. Convinced that the Jews sank the Titanic and that the Talmud replaced the American Constitution, he said that they had also killed JFK.

Most American extremists have also preferred to shake the hypothesis of a plot “Zionist”. No CIA, neither mafia, nor even isolated shooter. “It is proven that Israel was involved”assured the male podcastor Myron Gaines. “We have clearly seen enough in the documents to indicate that Israel was involved in one way or another,” Overborn the conspiracy Ian Carroll. Real compromising documents are probably “In Tel Aviv” Ironized James Li, correspondent of the right -handed Podcast Breaking Points.

A seventy -year -old smoking theory

These men only recycle old antitians. According to other documents declassified in 1963, the day after the murder, the American interception agency, the NSA, got their hands on a diplomatic cable sent by a Palestinian, inviting support from the Palestinian cause to unveil the “conspiracy” Behind the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. The latter would have been elected by refusing to submit to the Jews and the Zionists would therefore have murdered him.

“The Syrian regime, still looking for new anti -Zionist arguments, found in the assassination of President Kennedy enough to feed an unorthodox interpretation of this sad eventindicates an American diplomatic cable published a few days later. According to the Baasist organ, the murder (of Kennedy) must be attributed to Zionism, who is the true manager and tries to hide the mischief. ”

This conspiracy theory does not hold water: if John Fitzgerald Kennedy sometimes opposed Israeli leaders of the time, he vigorously supported the State of Israel, like almost all American presidents. Cause of social networks, this dubious thesis of a Zionist plot to assassinate JFK, long confined to the Iranian state media and the Holocaust denialists, unfortunately found a second youth.
