A Goodreads user asked Dov Ivry:

Hi Dov I was interested to know why you joined the JFK Assassination group as I have written a book on the wider picture of Kennedy tragedies called, The Kennedy Curse: Shattered. I would like to raise awareness of the plight of the Kennedy family and am considering starting a new group. Do you have any thoughts on this and would you join such a group if I did? Thanks Les

Dov Ivry I am not American, rather a Canadian Jew. I am paid no attention to the assassination for 52 years, believe it or not. But in writing about another subject that happened in Canada someone said that all roads to the JFK assassination led through the mafia of Montreal. Then there was a decision by the Archives of Canada concerning documents of a Montreal Jew high up in an agency related to the CIA who had worked for British intelligence during WWII. As a result anti-Semites said this decision proved that this man was the mastermind of the JFK assassination on orders from Israel.

Anti-Semites say all kinds of insane things, but I decided to do a short book responding to this. I had not intended to touch on the conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald was the assassin working alone. But after a few days I could see that that guy is innocent, not only of that charge, but also the other three that they pinned on him. What started as a short book worked into a major project.

My conclusion was that the orchestrator of the assassination was a woman with a crystal clear motive who hired perhaps the deadliest assassin in the world and he blew out JFK's brains while standing on the grassy knoll. He was arrested immediately by the Dallas Police but was let go on orders from the CIA since he was regarded as working for French intelligence.

My only contact with the Kennedy family is the JFK assassination so I am not sure I would be of any value in a group dealing with broader issues.
