Just the opposite. Those around Ben-Gurion said he was driven to such stress by his nuclear negotiations with Kennedy that they were worried about his mental stability and he was forced out of office. Pretty strong influence for what you call a fantasy. Piper says Kennedy's letters to Ben-Gurion are still classified and unavailable to the public.
I don't see how people could try to minimize what was going on here. Kennedy had the power to control Israel's weapons. Israel lied, built false walls in their facilities, and even constructed an entirely new complex just to get around Kennedy's inspectors. Me thinks some people have no idea what was written in Piper's book.
As part of the detente Kennedy was illustrated as practicing in The Unspeakable he tried to keep Israel from developing nuclear weapons and upping the ante in the Middle East. He knew that the current disproportionate imbalance would occur and Israel would become more bold in its actions against the arabs, forcing them to the Soviets and creating a more polarized and heightened conflict.
I'm sorry Magda, but what you write is entirely untrue. Ask Vanunu if it is fantasy.
