The #US arms embargo on #Israel, which began at its inception in ‘48, remained until after Israel’s brilliant military victory in the ’67 #SixDayWar. After that, the U.S. finally realized the #Arab states had fully aligned with the #Soviets and that Israel could be a key U.S. ally in the #ColdWar.
But the #American decision was not based on Israel’s #military victory alone.
You see, the #Israeli triumph in the Six Day War was no accident. It was the result of Israel’s obsessively careful planning and some major #intelligence coups regarding the most advanced #Soviet military equipment.
The following reads like a #SpyNovel, but the story is entirely true.
In 1963, the Cold War was at its hottest. A few months earlier, in October 1962, the world came to the brink of total #nuclear annihilation during the 13-day #CubanMissileCrisis standoff.
Then, in June of 1963, #JFK gave his most famous anti-#communist speech (known as the “Ich bin ein Berliner” (“I am a Berliner”) speech) in West #Germany to an adoring crowd of nearly half a million West #Germans.
And then the biggest shock of all that rocked the entire world. On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated by Soviet sympathizer #LeeHarveyOswald. The world changed forever.
Meanwhile, in Israel, Meir Amit became the new director of #ShinBet (internal security) and #Mossad (foreign intelligence). He took over at a time when Israel was seen by the U.S. (and the whole world) as a country living on borrowed time.
Sure, the Israelis managed a modern-day miracle by fighting off five invading Arab armies to a stalemate and #armistice in 1949; but the country was still technically at war with all of them, and Israel remained massively outnumbered and was increasingly finding itself massively outgunned.
Throughout much of the 1950s and 1960s, the Arab countries turned to their new best friends in the #SovietUnion. 
The Soviets were more than happy to continue expanding their sphere of influence in the #oil-rich #MiddleEast and, therefore, aggressively armed and trained the Arab militaries with some of their most advanced weaponry.
Most concerningly, the Soviets had begun delivering and training Arab fighter pilots on their newest #supersonic strike aircraft – the MiG-21 (below).
Every Western nation, including the U.S., was completely in the dark about the capabilities of this cutting-edge #Russian aircraft and were fearful of the jet the Russians called the “most advanced strike aircraft in the world.”
Amit made a bold – some said insane – decision. Israel was going to steal a Soviet MiG-21.
Shortly after the U.S. bombed North #Vietnam for the first time in February of 1964, Israel was focused on gathering intelligence on Arab pilots charged with flying the MiG-21 for Egypt, Iraq, and Syria.
Israeli intelligence learned that one of the #Iraqi #AirForce pilots was a #Maronite #Christian Arab. Israel knew the Maronites had frequently been subject to #persecution in #Muslim-dominated countries like Iraq. Perhaps he could be turned.
The Mossad sent a beautiful, intelligent, and lively American-born woman to #Baghdad to try to establish contact with the Maronite pilot whose name was Munir Redfa. She met Redfa at a party, and Redfa was infatuated with her immediately.
Not knowing the Mossad agent’s identity, Redfa told the #beautiful #woman with whom he was clearly smitten that he was “in violent disagreement with the current war being waged by his government against the minority #Kurdish tribesmen in northern Iraq.” He was especially disgusted that he, a persecuted minority himself, was being asked to bomb the defenseless #Kurds.
He continued sharing his gripes against the Iraqi government including his shock at the imprisonment of some of his best friends who were Maronites. He also shared that he was being mistreated “because he was a Christian” and had been “passed over as commander” of his squadron, was kept stationed far from his home in Baghdad, and was permitted to fly “only with small fuel tanks” – a restriction he said was placed only on Christian pilots.
Redfa went even further, speaking in a way most Arabs dared not speak in public. He confessed he had a “sneaking admiration” for the Israelis who had managed to fight off five Arab armies despite being “so few against so many #Moslems.”
The Mossad agent knew she had her mark, and she maintained her relationship with him. It turned out Redfa had a wife and several children, but he still carried on a several-years-long intimate relationship with the Mossad agent.
Then, in July of 1966, the Mossad agent suggested that she and Redfa go on a trip together to #Europe. Redfa excitedly accepted the invitation.
After a few days in Europe, the Mossad agent suggested Redfa “fly to Israel with her. She had friends there who might be of service to him.”
Seeing the expression on Redfa’s face change from joy to confusion, the Mossad agent reached into her bag and pulled out a brand-new passport and tickets to Israel.
The jig was up. Redfa knew the woman he fell for was an Israeli spy. But, instead of being upset by this revelation, he was intrigued once he realized the Israelis (for whom he had “sneaking admiration”) were ready to make him an offer he couldn’t refuse.
The Israelis would give Redfa a way out of bombing innocent Kurds, they would pay him $1 million, they would sneak his entire family out of Iraq, and they would give him and his entire family Israeli citizenship, a home, and a job for life. Redfa agreed.
Mordecai Hod, commander of the Israeli Air Force, met with Redfa and discussed the plan for getting the MiG-21 out of Iraq and into Israel.
Hod showed Redfa how to fly a zig-zagging route that would allow him to avoid both Iraqi and Jordanian radar. It was a long way from Baghdad – around 560 miles – and Redfa would need nerves of steel to pull off his mission.
Redfa was a confident man. In this scheme, Redfa saw a way to provide his family with much better, freer lives. So, he told Hod, “I will bring you the plane.”
The date of the heist was set: August 16, 1966. Redfa followed the planned zig-zag pattern, but suddenly a ground crew member realized Redfa was heading way too far west.
Frantically, he radioed Redfa and ordered him to turn around immediately.
Redfa did not respond.
The ground crew warned, if Redfa did not turn around instantly, they would shoot him down!
Redfa stayed silent and kept flying.
Finally, he left Iraqi airspace and took a single breath.
Shortly thereafter, once Israeli radar picked up his plane (still hundred of miles away), the Israelis sent a squad of IAF Mirage fighter jets to escort him the remainder of the way to a base in the #NegevDesert.
After he landed, some of Redfa’s family was already there to greet him. The rest of his family was being smuggled across the #Iranian border by Kurdish guerillas. Safely in pre-#Islamic #Revolution #Iran, they were able to fly to Israel to be with the rest of their family.
Israeli intelligence had completed its mission and now had access to the most powerful weapon in the Arab armies’ possession.
Quickly, Western nations like the U.S., #France, and #Britain were all contacting Israel pressing for a chance to see the MiG-21 themselves. Every one of them was floored that this little nation, whose days were presumably numbered, had pulled off such an incredible intelligence feat. Meanwhile, none of these great Western powers had ever before had access to a MiG-21.
The Soviets, however, were furious; and they threatened the Israelis that they faced destruction if they did not get their fighter jet back.
Staggering the U.S., France, and Britain, with its response, Israel did not blink.
"No," they told the Russians. They would not “return” the jet.
Israel knew it was under constant threat of annihilation, and it was only a matter of time before the Arabs staged another massive invasion. The Israelis felt their only means of survival was to ensure they had better intelligence and were better prepared than their enemies.
On the other hand, the Israelis were happy to oblige the #Western powers, but they felt it wise to let things calm down a bit first.
After a few months passed, Israel “loaned” the MiG-21 to the U.S. and permitted them to conduct testing – all of which proved a boon to America’s strategic capabilities.
Meanwhile, the strategic value to Israel would be obvious a mere nine months later when, on April 7, 1967, Israeli jets got in a #dogfight with Syrian pilots flying MiG-21s.
The Israelis shot down six Syrian MiG-21s without losing a single plane of their own; and in the Six Day War two months later, the IAF took advantage of its overwhelming air superiority over the Syrian and Egyptian MiG-21s to carry them to a quick and decisive victory that shocked the entire world.
These combined events led the U.S. to realize that the tiny country of Israel had developed into a Western democracy with a formidable military and a daring intelligence apparatus that was right in the heart of the Middle East.
No longer was Israel seen as “the little country that could.”
Instead, Israel became one of America’s most important allies during the Cold War.

The Mystery of JFK’s Assassination: What Really Happened? JFK’s assassination in 1963 remains one of history’s greatest mysteries, fueling countless conspiracy theories about gunmen, the CIA, and even the Mafia. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3o4B5eoAcewBjxvaeC5Rxg?sub_confirmation=1 The assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, remains one of the most debated events in American history. Officially, Lee Harvey Oswald was charged with the crime, and the Warren Commission concluded that he acted alone. However, the public has long questioned this narrative, with countless conspiracy theories suggesting the involvement of multiple gunmen, the CIA, or even the Mafia. Over the decades, books, documentaries, and films have explored every angle of the event, keeping the mystery alive. Despite further investigations and reports, the lingering questions around JFK’s death continue to captivate and divide opinions.

NEW EPISODE: Episode 09: Jack Ruby did more than kill Lee Harvey Oswald that day.  He helped send two photographers down two very different paths.  One led to fame, glory, and money while the other led to self-doubt and depression.  This isn’t just the story of how Jack Ruby changed the lives of those you can see in the frame of this iconic image, it’s the story between two photographers and how six-tenths of a second was all it took to divide those two between infamy and obscurity.
This is the ninth episode in a series of episodes that’ll drop every Saturday throughout 2024.

Fifty-Eight Years Ago
Today marks fifty-eight years since JFK was assassinated in Dallas—shot by (I assume) the lone gunman Lee Harvey Oswald.
I happened to be in town in 2008 and so made a pilgrimage to Dealey Plaza. I thought it was amazing how the place seemed unchanged. (I had never been there prior to that, mind you, but it seemed like no new construction or alterations had been made since the famous footage of Abraham Zapurder was taken.)
I had a small, awful, early digital camera and made these exposures—a couple stitched together to form larger files. I feel the “X” painted on the roadway to be in bad taste somewhat. I was but two when it happened, and used to think I remembered it, but now I figure I was most likely recalling poring over a special edition of LIFE magazine a few years later.
Seven images by Richard Koenig; taken in February of 2008.

[Dr. Jeremy] - MEDIA
Dr. Jeremy goes into talking about how the modern-day media changed the KKK from southern Democrats which is what they were historical to right-wing Republican extremist which is just not true says Dr. Jeremy
The news media is fear-mongering according to Dr. Jeremy
Dr. Jeremy educated me on what hive mind means and his definition is it’s a one way of thinking From a particular group in this instance it’s from the Democratic party
If you don’t think like they think They won’t hire you they won’t socialize with you and so on
Which is just one step away from when Jesus comes back and if you don’t have the Mark of the beast you can’t buy or sell or anything else so they’re forcing people to  move that way too that Mark of the beast-like it says in revelations to where they totally control you and of course your soul is damned by choosing that Mark of the beast
According to Dr. Jeremy, the southern Democrats were the bad ones saying KKK is Republicans is just not true it’s twisting history and changing it around
Also, Dr. Jeremy pointed out that over 2000 Republicans were lynched just like Black people were at the end of the Civil War by the KKK

Here is the latest edition to the ‘Dead famous’ gallery in the ‘Confessions of an undertaker’ archive. Lee Harvey Oswald! Better known as the assassin of 1960’s US president John F Kennedy. After killing JFK in public in 1963 Oswald was quickly apprehended and arrested. Shortly after his arrest Oswald was gunned down himself by night club owner Jack Ruby. Oswald died from a gunshot wound to the abdomen shortly after arriving at the same hospital where doctors had tried to save president Kennedys life only two days before. Oswald was buried in Fort Worth Dallas Texas at Shannon Rose Hill memorial park. In 1981 upon the death of his Mother Lee Harvey Oswald’s body was exhumed amidst rumours that there was the body of a Russian agent in the casket and not that of Oswald! It was confirmed that the body in the casket was that of Lee Harvey Oswald dental records confirmed this as his body was by now severely decomposed. His casket was also very water damaged and as a result he was buried in a new casket. The old one was reportedly sold by the funeral home for $18’000!! #dead #deadfamous #famous #leeharveyoswald #assasination #jfk #presidentkennedy #usa #american #president #death #deathcare #deatgpositive #deathpositivemovement #deathpositivity #funeral #funeralhome #funeraldirector #funeralservice #casket #exhumation #exhumed #mortician #morticianlife #undertaker #confessionsofanundertaker #fortworth #dallas #texas #jackruby (at Chippenham, Wiltshire)

#Repost @historylatam (@get_repost) ・・・ #HoyEnLaHistoria En el año 1963, era mortalmente herido a balazos John F. Kennedy, trigésimo quinto presidente de los Estados Unidos, el cuarto en ser víctima de un magnicidio y el octavo en morir mientras ejercía sus funciones. ⠀ El 22 de noviembre de 1963, en Dallas, Texas, fue asesinado a balazos el trigésimo quinto presidente de los Estados Unidos, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, magnicidio que fue debidamente juzgado, aunque subsisten misterios aún sin resolver. ⠀ En ejercicio a partir del 20 de enero de 1961, su administración se caracterizó por combatir el racismo contra las minorías étnicas, en el ámbito interno, y contra las influencias comunistas del bloque soviético, en el ámbito externo. ⠀ La Comisión Warren, a cargo de la investigación de su asesinato, concluyó que el homicida fue Lee Harvey Oswald, quien habría actuado en soledad. No obstante ello, el Comité Selecto de la Cámara sobre Asesinatos, sugirió que pudo tratarse de una conspiración. ⠀ Kennedy fue el cuarto presidente asesinado en la historia de los Estados Unidos. #EstadosUnidos #Kennedy #JohnFKennedy #Presidente #Asesinado #Texas #Dallas #Magnicidio #LeeHarveyOswald #Conspiracion #Historia https://www.instagram.com/p/CH5dMs0lYSKnUTe9vHnSPt_11yjHEgxtbXJXLo0/?igshid=1au0mhuzajkpn
