Obama Backs Campaign to Defeat Netanyahu in Israeli Elections

Caroline Glick picked up on one article the Israeli left-wing paper Ha’aretz didn’t bother translating into English that details Obama’s involvement in the upcoming Israeli elections. A summary of the article is provided by IMRA (Independent Media Review & Analysis):

Haaretz reporter Roi Arad revealed in an article in the Hebrew edition today [January 26] that the foreign funded organization, “One Voice”, is bankrolling the V-2015 campaign to defeat Binyamin Netanyahu’s national camp in the March 2015 Knesset Elections.

One indication of the generous financing is that it has now flown in a team of five American campaign experts (including Jeremy Bird, the Obama campaign’s national field director) who will run the campaign out of offices taking up the ground floor of a Tel Aviv office building.

V-2015 is careful not to support a specific party – rather “just not Bibi”. As such, the foreign funds pouring into the campaign are not subject to Israel’s campaign finance laws.

Glick commented via Facebook:

Obama won’t meet Benjamin Netanyahu – בנימין נתניהו in Washington when he addresses the Joint Houses of Congress in March because of Netanyahu’s visit’s proximity to the Israeli elections. And Obama, of course believes in protocol and propriety which is why he won’t get involved. No, he’s not getting involved at all. He’s just sending his 2012 field campaign manager to Israel to run a campaign to defeat Netanyahu. That’s all. No interference whatsoever.

The Israeli Left adores touting Netanyahu’s “interference” in American elections, specifically his expression of support for Mitt Romney in the 2012 campaign. When it comes to Israeli left-wing politics, there are simply things you just don’t do when you represent the center-right. It should come as no surprise then that Haaretz, known on this side of the globe for its freakish ability to generate anonymous White House sources that love talking about how much Obama hates Bibi (a shared talent among the Left) would conveniently forget to translate this little news item for their English-reading audience.

Laws, what laws for bozo plus can anyone explain why the hell Jews for the most part still vote for the left when it is clear to even a blind man that they are anti Israel?

It’s an affectionate nickname for Binyamin.

This won’t even rate a mention on the overnight news...

I don't know. The electorate is so dumbed down now that they might spin it as a positive. "Today, President Obama announced positive steps to usher in peace in the Middle East by helping to engineer forward-thinking electoral results in Israel."

The sheeple will think it's a wonderful thing.

Obama’s opposition should pretty well secure a Netanyahu victory.

Thank You Congress.

Yes .. it does.

Also .. it makes it perfectly clear why Obama was so mad about Netanyahu coming to speak before our Congress.

The reason Obama has been involved in defeating Netanyahu is because Netanyahu would not agree to stop building in the Gaza Strip/West Bank; or where ever Obama thinks Israel should not be building. This is why the staff all said Netanyahu “spit in their eye” .. because he would not agree with Obama.

What a petty, juvenile, arrogant President we have. I’m really concerned for America’s safety: Gen 12:3

His public opposition to various specific Republicans sure helped our side in 2014.

And this snotty creep said he wouldn’t meet with Bibi when Bibi comes to address Congress because he “didn’t want to interfere with the Israeli elections.” What a conniving liar.

A good nickname is hard to find. Most politicos would sell their grandmother for a winning tag like “Bibi.” Netanyahu didn’t even have to pay a public relations pro to think it up. According to Netanyahu family lore, it stems from childhood confusion with another older Benjamin who was the big BB while the future prime minister was the little Bibi.

I think we can all step back now and re-appraise what happened: someone tipped Boehner to this attempted coup of BiBi, then he invited BiBi.

We ARE in Ezekiel. And zero’s in the Gog AND Magog equation.

I seem to remember that Kerry sent operatives over into Australia, including his own sister, to try to defeat John Howard to damage the U.S. war effort in an attempt to embarrass Bush back in 2004. Anyone else remember that?

This isn’t the first time. During Clinton’s tenure his election team went to Israel to work to unseat Netanyahu and succeeded in replacing him with Ehud Barak. The left absolutely hates Netanyahu.
