Why would a member of the shadowy Semitic cabal want to kill Lincoln, the American dictator? Lincoln, who suspended habeas corpus, sent in troops to arrest his political opponents, used his armed forces to shut down newspapers critical of him, destroy their equipment and jail their publishers, authorized the massacre of draft-resisters on the streets of New York. Lincoln, who shredded the constitution with his every action as president, who refused to allow states to secede peacefully from the union as was their right after they had voted to do so, who instead prosecuted a conflict that killed hundreds of thousands of Americans and forever subordinated the will of the states to the will of the Federal government.

If your goal is to allege that some members of the millennium-old Zionist conspiracy wanted to subvert American society and democracy, they might have found a better way than to kill the one man who posed the most destructive threat to it.
