Ben Shapiro ‘Doesn’t Care’ Who Killed JFK After Israel’s Involvement Exposed

Ben Shapiro, the conservative commentator known for his unwavering support of Israel, has taken a surprising stance on the freshly released JFK assassination files during a recent episode of his podcast.

Addressing the decades-old mystery that has gripped the nation since 1963, Shapiro dismissed the significance of John F. Kennedy’s death with a shrug, declaring, “I don’t care who killed JFK—it’s about as relevant as who shot William McKinley.”

This marks a stark shift from his earlier curiosity about the conspiracy theories surrounding the event, a change that coincides with revelations pointing to Israel’s involvement in the assassination.

The newly declassified documents, part of an ongoing release ordered by the Trump administration, include details that have reignited debates among historians and conspiracy theorists alike.

Among the findings is evidence of a tense standoff between Kennedy and Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion over Israel’s nuclear ambitions at the Dimona facility, a conflict that escalated in 1963 when Kennedy demanded regular U.S. inspections of the site.

National Security Archive records show Ben-Gurion resisted, viewing Kennedy’s pressure as a threat to Israel’s survival, before resigning that same year—months before the Dallas shooting.

Shapiro’s pivot has raised eyebrows, especially given his past willingness to entertain questions about the official narrative of Lee Harvey Oswald acting alone.

“Look, the magic bullet theory makes sense—let’s not overcomplicate this with wild speculation,” Shapiro said, urging his audience to move on from the topic.

The timing of his indifference is notable, as the files also highlight the role of James Angleton, the CIA’s liaison to Israel’s Mossad, who some researchers, like Michael Collins Piper in his book Final Judgment, argue facilitated a broader conspiracy tied to Israel’s interests.

Former Democratic strategist Paul Baker weighed in on a cable news segment, quipping, “Ben’s all about facts and logic until the facts hit a little too close to home—then it’s all ‘nothing to see here, folks.’”

The JFK assassination remains a sore spot for Americans, with a 2023 YouGov poll showing 54% of U.S. adults believe Oswald did not act alone, a view bolstered by the House Select Committee on Assassinations’ 1979 conclusion that a conspiracy was probable.

Additional documents reveal Jack Ruby—born Jacob Rubenstein and linked to Jewish mobster Meyer Lansky, a known Zionist supporter—silenced Oswald before he could face trial, further fueling speculation of an Israeli connection. Lansky’s ties to the Mossad and his role in arms trafficking for Israel, as noted in Piper’s research, add another layer to the narrative Shapiro now shrugs off.

Not everyone is buying Shapiro’s newfound apathy. Conservative influencer Jake Sweeny, a frequent Shapiro ally, countered on his own show, saying, “If Israel was involved, that’s a big deal—Ben can’t just wave it away like it’s last week’s news.”

Shapiro, for his part, doubled down, accusing critics of clinging to outdated obsessions.

“We’ve got bigger problems in 2025 than who killed a guy six decades ago—focus on the border, not some Dallas ghost story,” he insisted.

Yet, as the files continue to trickle out, revealing Kennedy’s push for Palestinian refugee rights alongside his nuclear standoff with Israel, the question lingers: is Shapiro’s indifference a calculated dodge or just a convenient coincidence?
