Top 5 Mossad Operations Other than 9/11 and JFK-RFK Murders
On 13 December 1949 Israeli first Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion ordered the establishment of what later become known as the Mossad, the legendary Israeli spy agency. Over its 70-year long history the entity managed to become one of the most high-profile intelligence agencies in the world.
Mind blowing operations attributed to the Mossad have been triggering a fuss in the press and inspiring non-fiction writers and filmmakers for decades. Although the agency is reluctant to acknowledge its involvement in those bold and risky endeavours, it’s up to the public to decide what part one of the most mysterious secret agencies has played in world history.
1956: Khrushchev’s Anti-Stalin Speech
It happened at the height of the Cold War in the mid-1950s, when the Soviet Union was re-evaluating the legacy of Joseph Stalin during and before his 30-year rule. Given the fierce competition between the two political blocs, everything occurring behind the Iron Curtain was of utmost importance for Western intelligence, especially First Secretary of the Communist Party Nikita Khrushchev’s unexpected condemnation of his predecessor.
In February 1956, Khrushchev delivered a secret speech describing Stalin’s alleged crimes which exposed an internal crisis within the Communist ranks. Israeli intelligence officers did what the West’s spies had failed to do: they obtained a copy of the address and shared it with the Eisenhower administration.
Israeli investigative journalists Yossi Melman and Dan Raviv described in their 1994 op-ed for The Washington Post, how Victor Grayevski, a Polish Jew, managed to borrow and photograph the 58-page document and then smuggle the film to Israeli intelligence agents in Poland. It is believed that subsequently, the speech was leaked by the CIA to the New York Times and the Observer.
1960: Operation Finale
Four years later, the world was astonished by the abduction of former SS-Obersturmbannfuhrer Adolf Eichmann, responsible for deportations of millions of Jews to Nazi extermination camps, from Argentina, where he had lived since 1950 under the fake name Ricardo Klement. According to Spiegel’s recollection of events, although a warrant for Eichmann’s arrest was issued by the Frankfurt public prosecutor’s office in 1956, the German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) refused to launch an operation through Interpol, claiming that the Interpol statutes banned prosecution of “crimes of a political and racist nature”.
