U.S. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene’s jaw-dropping claim that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963 for opposing Israel’s nuclear program has set Threads on fire, sparking a wildfire of controversy and conspiracy theories. In a June 25, 2025, X post, the MAGA firebrand alleged a sinister plot, hinting that JFK’s push for inspections of Israel’s Dimona reactor made him a target. Here’s the kicker: Greene suggested her own life—and even President Trump’s—could be at risk for criticizing Israel’s actions. With no evidence linking Israel to JFK’s death, is Greene exposing a hidden truth or fanning dangerous flames? This scandal is blowing up, and you’ll want to click to dive into the chaos!
Greene’s bombshell dropped during a heated X spat with Fox News host Mark Levin, who called her “stupid” for opposing U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites. “There was once a great President that the American people loved. He opposed Israel’s nuclear program. And then he was assassinated,” she wrote, per The Independent. Her post, liked by thousands, fueled speculation, with @Beginning22End on X claiming JFK also targeted secret societies, amplifying the conspiracy. Greene doubled down, questioning, “Should I feel that my life is in danger now too? What about President Trump who rebuked Israel for attacking Iran?” This ties to Trump’s June 2025 warning to Israel against violating an Iran ceasefire, per Anadolu Ajansı.
Historical records confirm JFK’s concern over Israel’s nuclear ambitions. Declassified documents show he pressured Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion in 1963 for biannual U.S. inspections of the Dimona reactor, warning that U.S. support could be “seriously jeopardized” without transparency, per the National Security Archive. Kennedy feared nuclear proliferation in the Middle East, telling French Foreign Minister Maurice Couve de Murville that Israel’s program gave the Soviets leverage, per Haaretz. Yet, the Warren Commission, established post-assassination, concluded Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, with no evidence of foreign involvement, per Wikipedia. Greene’s claim lacks concrete proof, and critics, including the ACLU, slam it as “historically unfounded” and potentially antisemitic, echoing her 2018 Rothschild space laser conspiracy.
The Threads poll is a battleground, with users split: some, like @Pro__Trading, demand investigations into Israel’s alleged role, while @Humanity1st calls it a “MAGA distraction” from Trump’s Iran strikes, which CNN reported only delayed Iran’s nuclear program by months. Misinformation swirls—@wallyrashid on X claimed an Israeli nuclear engineer admitted Mossad’s involvement, an unverified story. Others, like @KAGdrogo, tie JFK’s death to his push to register the American Zionist Council (AIPAC’s predecessor) as a foreign agent. These claims, unproven, feed into decades-old theories involving the CIA, Mafia, and even Lyndon Johnson, with 42 groups and 214 individuals accused, per Vincent Bugliosi.
Greene’s allies amplify her narrative. @CJ_1291 on X insists JFK’s nuclear stance and AIPAC fight made him a target, while @norquist_s shared her post, calling it a “game-changer.” Her supporters, like @AmericaFirstLegal, argue she’s exposing a Sen. Mike Lee backs her anti-war stance, praising her “courage” against foreign conflicts. But critics, including The Times of Israel, warn her rhetoric risks fueling antisemitic tropes, especially given her history. A 2025 Pew survey shows 65% of Americans question U.S. foreign interventions, giving Greene’s anti-war stance traction among her base.
The controversy dovetails with Trump’s Middle East moves. His administration’s Iran strikes, criticized by Greene as a “bait and switch,” sparked debate, with U.S. intelligence admitting limited impact, per CNN. Greene’s JFK claim, paired with her fear for her and Trump’s safety, has Threads buzzing with memes—some depict her as a “truth-teller,” others mock her as a “conspiracy peddler.” Her Jesus jab at Levin, a Jewish commentator, drew extra heat, with @zeteo_news calling it “divisive.” The spat highlights GOP rifts, with 60% of Republicans now skeptical of Middle East wars, per Heritage Foundation.
Skeptics point to the Warren Commission’s findings and lack of evidence tying Israel to JFK’s death. The National Security Archive notes six U.S. Dimona inspections occurred from 1964-1969, suggesting Kennedy’s pressure had some effect, though Israel likely developed nuclear capabilities anyway. Still, Greene’s refusal to retract, per The New York Sun, keeps the fire burning. Is she uncovering a dark secret or pushing a dangerous narrative? With 70% of Americans distrusting government narratives, per Gallup 2025, her claim resonates. Drop your take on Threads—is Greene a hero or a hazard? This drama’s just getting started!
