Oliver, I don't think you can be blamed for not including Israel/Zionism in the film because the best book on the subject had not been published. I am talking about Peter's 'Deep Politics and the Death of JFK', which you blurbed. The book outlines the Lansky/Teamster Syndicate.
In response to those who keep attacking #JFK for not dealing with the Israeli relationship to President Kennedy, I’ve posted these responses I made a year ago in May of 2025. I repeat them here. 1) Milchan had no creative input at all. Warner Brothers put him into the project,- Oliver, I don't think you can be blamed for not including Israel/Zionism in the film because the best book on the subject had not been published.

I do believe that Milchon had a Zionist interest in JFK because it was a sensitive moment re: US support for a Palestinian state. By the way, in 1975, Garrison told a journalist that the JFK assassination was the work of CIA, Pentagon, and the Lansky arm of the mob.
Project pinto • 1960s: Arnon Milchan recruited by Israel’s LAKAM (scientific/economic espionage unit) in his 20s. He begins building a global network of ~30 front companies across 17 countries to procure sensitive technology for Israel’s nuclear program. • 1970s–1980s:
OK, but why would Lansky be expelled by Israel under Golda Meir in 1972 ? JFK sold Hawk missiles to Golda Meir Nothing on Johnny Roselli(who confessed and was friend with JFK's father until the 60s)? Giancana (who saved Joseph's life from Costello+made sure JFK would be elected)?
