“Bayonne Joe” Zicarelli, Irving Davidson, and Israel
Dark Quadrant: Organized Crime, Big Business, and the Corruption of American Democracy Online Addendum to Chapter 4 “Bayonne Joe” Zicarelli, Irving Davidson, and Israel By Jonathan Marshall “Bayonne Joe” Zicarelli’s international circle of business contacts and political allies extended far beyond the Caribbean. In particular, he teamed up with adventurers, criminals, lobbyists, and intelligence agents involved in creating and defending the state of Israel. Their unorthodox tactics were reminiscent of the China Lobby’s. Both groups were dedicated to saving a small and beleaguered nation by any means necessary. Like the China Lobby, this pro-Israel network illustrates the deep political nexus between organized crime, corruption, and intelligence. In the early 1950s, according to the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, Zicarelli was “alleged to have been involved in the traffic of arms and munitions sold to the government of Israel.” Probably not coincidentally, the gangster was also a business partner of two leading Jewish bootleggers, Abner “Longie” Zwillman and Schenley CEO Lewis Rosenstiel.1 More than a few prominent Jewish gangsters, including Meyer Lansky, Zwillman, “Bugsy” Siegel, and Mickey Cohen, supported the Jewish underground with money and logistics help in the late 1940s.2 Zicarelli’s partner in the sale of arms and stolen securities, Steven Irwin Schwartz, had been a prominent gunrunner to Jewish armies in Palestine. Schwartz was an officer in ABCO, a New Jersey cigarette vending company controlled by Zicarelli and New York Mafia underboss Carmine Galante. “Since 1946,” the FBN report noted, “Schwartz has been engaged in the traffic of arms, a good portion of which have been obtained from Communist Bloc nations and shipped first to Israel and later to Cuba.”3 Associated with Schwartz in those ventures were Irving “Swifty” Schindler and TWA flight engineer Adolf Schwimmer. -

Nixon's Caribbean Milieu, 1950–1968
Dark Quadrant: Organized Crime, Big Business, and the Corruption of American Democracy Online Appendix: Nixon’s Caribbean Milieu, 1950–1968 By Jonathan Marshall “Though his working life has been passed chiefly on the far shores of the continent, close by the Pacific and the Atlantic, some emotion always brings Richard Nixon back to the Caribbean waters off Key Biscayne and Florida.”—T. H. White, The Making of the President, 19681 Richard Nixon, like millions of other Americans, enjoyed Florida and the nearby islands of Cuba and the Bahamas as refuges where he could leave behind his many cares and inhibitions. But he also returned again and again to the region as an important ongoing source of political and financial support. In the process, the lax ethics of its shadier operators left its mark on his career. This Sunbelt frontier had long attracted more than its share of sleazy businessmen, promoters, and politicians who shared a get-rich-quick spirit. In Florida, hustlers made quick fortunes selling worthless land to gullible northerners and fleecing vacationers at illegal but wide-open gambling joints. Sheriffs and governors protected bookmakers and casino operators in return for campaign contributions and bribes. In nearby island nations, as described in chapter 4, dictators forged alliances with US mobsters to create havens for offshore gambling and to wield political influence in Washington. Nixon’s Caribbean milieu had roots in the mobster-infested Florida of the 1940s. He was introduced to that circle through banker and real estate investor Bebe Rebozo, lawyer Richard Danner, and Rep. George Smathers. Later this chapter will explore some of the diverse connections of this group by following the activities of Danner during the 1968 presidential campaign, as they touched on Nixon’s financial and political ties to Howard Hughes, the South Florida crime organization of Santo Trafficante, and mobbed-up hotels and casinos in Las Vegas and Miami. -

Perhaps the dominance, notoriety, and public image of Al Capone has dissuaded potential researchers. Until now. This is not to say that no studies of Chicago’s Jewish underworld exist. They do. In 1927, Frederick Thrasher wrote The Gang, which includes material showing that, alongside the Polish, Italian, and Irish mobs, up to five per cent of the city’s gangs were Jewish. -
