Clinton’s Political Hit Man in Israel to Take Down Netanyahu
frontpagemag.com/the-point ^ | October 27, 2012 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 10/27/2012 7:17:15 AM PDT by expat1000

The Obama vs Netanyahu political bloodbath has a sharp historical edge. When the conservative Israeli Prime Minister won the election during the Clinton Administration, Clinton used his political hit men to force him out of office. One of those hit men was Stanley Greenberg.

Stanley Greenberg helped push Israel’s earlier version of Occupy Wall Street. Now with elections coming up, Greenberg is back in Israel to try and topple Netanyahu one more time.

While Netanyahu’s reelection prospects are looking far better than Obama’s, a major factor in Obama’s Middle East policy is getting rid of Netanyahu.

The Labor party has hired Stanley Greenberg, a leading Democratic political strategist, to direct its campaign in the upcoming elections for Knesset.

Greenberg, along with partners James Carville and Robert Shrum, helped Labor under Ehud Barak defeat Netanyahu in the 1999 elections. Previously, then-President Bill Clinton was reportedly active in creating rifts within Netanyahu’s coalition, hastening its downfall.

The pattern of action may be repeating itself, as Greenberg appears to have played a key role in destabilizing Netanyahu’s present government as well. According to an investigative report by Maariv’s Kalman Libeskind, it was Greenberg who gave directions to an Israeli strategy forum in 2011, on how to engineer the “social protests” that brought hundreds of thousands of Israelis to the streets that summer.

The protests failed to push out Netanyahu, but Greenberg’s strategy was to put pressure on Netanyahu and tear apart his coalition.

Netanyahu obscured the protests by cutting the Shalit deal that free thousands of terrorists. And economic and political issues have moved Israel toward new elections.

The protests – which received free wall-to-wall promotion and coverage from liberal media, and drew crowds by offering free music from top artists – forced the Netanyahu government to abandon its economic principles in favor of “social” legislation, like subsidized preschool education. These economic measures, in turn, slowed down the Israeli economy and forced the government into crafting an austerity budget for 2013. The fact that no party wants to approve such a budget in an election year is what recently convinced Netanyahu he had no choice but to call early elections.

Netanyahu won’t be replaced by the idiotic Yachimovich, but the goal is to keep pushing and undermining him. Rather than going after Ahmadinejad, the Democratic Party establishment is doing everything possible to break Netanyahu.

NO ONE can bring down Benny except for GOD HIMSELF. Israel feels satan’s boot on their necks. They know what will happen if obama/clinton’s demon gets his way.

Just came back from my Google on Greenberg Israel. You beat me to it.

Greenberg has, in fact, actively interjected himself as an American progressive into the politics of Israel as an anti-Bibi pied piper.

I can’t believe Israel doesn’t just send him to Libya, Afghanistan or Iraq when he tries to enter the country.

Re. 19 Almighty God will bring Israel through the fire when the one world communist/Islamic government will ignite during the seven year tribulation and when the fools of the whole earth and their armies under the anti christ will send to Israel and be destroyed at Armageddon. And the Lord God Jesus Christ will begin His millennial reign on the earth having destroyed all Israel's enemies and so the earth and heavens and the people of God will praise and thank the Lord for His mighty arm and stretched out hand against the wicked of the earth who always hate Israel, it is their sign of recognition and their destiny as the Scriptures teach. Revelation 19 1And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: 2For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. 3And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. 4And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia. 5And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great. 6And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. 7Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 9And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. 10And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. 11And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. 17And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; 18That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. 19And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. 20And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. 21And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.<\p>

Greenberg is also Mr. Rosa De Lauro. Very well connected. Such a hit would notbe without complications. They would have to make it look like a Ron Brown-style accident.

I remember seeing stories about this years ago. Carville/Greenberg worked for Ehud Barak against Netanyahu. I think Netanyahu lost but eventually came back stronger.

Now they're at it again.

They could not have succeeded had the corrupt labor party, at carville and greenberg’s suggestion, not filed false criminal charges against Netanyahu. They were not satisfied to unseat him to have a clinton toady as PM. They wanted to destroy Netanyahu utterly so that he could never run for office again.
It took literally years before the ‘investigation’ finally concluded that there was absolutely NO EVIDENCE to suggest corruption on Netanyahu’s part. He spent most of those years in the US. They completely cleared him and within an hour, he was on a plane back to Israel to fight another day.

Perhaps conceding defeat in the current US election, the next objective of the 'Rats is to take Netanyahu down in Israel. Their idea is to see to it that Romney in the White House will not have his old pal Netanyahu in power in Israel, and thereby throw another monkey wrench into the US-Israel relationship.

The 'Rats would never admit to such a long-term strategy, of course, but they could be envisioning tensions between a Romney Administration and a prospective leftist Israeli government as beneficial to them politically in the US sometime down the road.

But I don't think that the Israeli electorate will fall for this attempted outside manipulation of their election this time around. And all pro-Israel Americans should condemn this intervention wholeheartedly. Israeli elections should be conducted by Israelis, not by outsiders.
