I kinda doubt that JFK was assassinated by Israel. If it was anyone it was the Mafia, the CIA, or the Soviets. Or the Mafia and the CIA.

Wasn't it Lee Harvey Oswald? And wouldn't the CIA do that, if they wanted Israel to continue to exist as an extension of the US in the ME?

Lee Harvey Oswald did it. Because sometimes one guy with a gun is all it takes.

Like that little asshole Thomas Mathew Crooks.

One guy with a gun and some lax security, because the people doing the security are people, and generally bad at their jobs.

Fun fact, JFK had something like 9 less Secret Service agents than normal that day, because the night before they had a raging bender of a party and a bunch of them were too hung over to work.

They were drunk, but there's a lot more than that. Tons of details about Oswald, his past contacts, the way they handled the case, etc.

There's lots of weird coincidence with Oswald.

Take Kerry Thornley. He served in the Marines with Oswald, and the two looked similar enough to have been brothers... they both leave the service, and both end up in New Orleans. They live within 10 blocks of each other but never once meet, because that's just how cities used to work. They didn't keep in touch after leaving the marines, and had no clue that they lived so close to each other.

Anyway, Thornley spent the early Kennedy years publically calling for his assassination. Even had fliers printed out and posted in bars and shit.

There's no evidence that Oswald visited any of the same bars that Thornley did.

After the assassination, Thornley thought it was funny to spread lies and conspiracy bullshit, culminating in his sneaking into the office of the Louisiana prosecuting attorney, who was actively investigating Thornley. While in the office, Thornley used the guy's (early) copy machine to make copies of his conspiracy nonsense, laying down more smokescreens of chaos and confusion. Not to protect himself, but because he thought it was funny. A lot of the more outlandish conspiracy shit about the assassination comes from Thornley's antics during this time.

So anyway Oswald knew people who absolutely hated Kennedy, and had even visited the Soviet Union, but there's still no evidence that Oswald worked with anyone.

And that's why he succeeded. See, the second you start adding people to the conspiracy, is the second when it starts breaking down. Suddenly you have to worry about logistics and coordination, and people not talking or screwing up their part.

It's much simpler to be a lone gunman. Because the only way for two people to keep a secret is if one is dead. People always talk, or screw up, or just miss some little bit of communication that slips out.

It happens every single time. So the answer is, don't involve anyone else. A lone gunman is a fucking nightmare to plan around. Because he's the threat you don't see coming.
