Who Killed Jfk? Cherchez La Femme Dov Ivry

I'll briefly explain why I changed the title less than two years after publishing. The original title was: "Did Israel Kill JFK -- Not Exactly." The headline on any newspaper story or the title of a book should indicate the guts of the matter. As a Canadian with no interest in the JFK assassination for 52 years I got involved in this subject because of a decision by the Archives of Canada concerning some documents which triggered an outpouring from anti-Semites claiming that this proves it, Israel was behind the assassination. Anti-Semites say insane things all the time. They all talk like outpatients from an asylum who are not taking their meds. I thought a response to this foolishness would be worth a short book. The book ended up as a major project because I saw almost immediately that the guy convicted posthumously of the crime, Lee Harvey Oswald, was innocent and if he didn't do it, who did? That became the bottom line but I still fol-lowed the original thread to its conclusion and because no one else had addressed the alleged Israel involvement in the galaxy of books that have been written on the assassination. I thought this remained the unique reason for my even publishing. I work alone so I am also the editor and unless I kick myself in the shins to wake up and do it right, the mistakes will go floating by. The original title was a mistake in that it did not focus on the main point of the book, which I address -- whodunit? The answer is: cherchez la femme.
