TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Tens of thousands of Israelis are gathering at a Tel Aviv square under the banner "Israel wants change" and calling for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be replaced in March 17 national elections.

Saturday night's rally at Rabin Square is the highest profile demonstration yet in the run-up to the election. It is organized by a non-profit organization seeking to change Israel's priorities and refocus on health, education, housing and the country's cost of living. Though not officially endorsed by any political party, it drew mostly supporters of leftist and centrist parties.

The rally's keynote speaker is former Mossad chief Meir Dagan who recently slammed Netanyahu's conduct and called him "the person who has caused the greatest strategic damage to Israel...

They were chanting "Change for Israel!"

Obama's paid hacks and agitators, who are nothing but meddling minions over in Israel who are illegally acting under Obama's order, cannot even come up with a new leftist slogan.

Boy, these leftists don't even try to hide it anymore. Look at this Washington Compost article:

"The Labor Party is campaigning on an Israeli version of "Hope and Change."

Why are Americans (Obama is Indonesian, but let that go)
allowed to interfere openly with Israeli elections,
including the meddling pro-NAZI/MoslemBrotherhood
White Mosque?

I believe they are mostly Self-Hating Jews, but mostly I believe they revel in being in defiance to the God of Abraham. In my observation, almost every leftist Jew is either an atheist or cares very little what the Torah actually says. They are the "stiffed necked" Jews that God constantly had to deal with throughout history.

Not every Israeli is a good person, and Scripture is clear that God has punished and separated those who have defied Him and the Holy nation He founded. Numbers chapter 16 is a good example:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

1 Now Korah the son of Izhar, son of Kohath, son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, and On the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men. 2 And they rose up before Moses, with a number of the people of Israel, 250 chiefs of the congregation, chosen from the assembly, well-known men. 3 They assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron and said to them, “You have gone too far! For all in the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the Lord is among them. Why then do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the Lord?” 4 When Moses heard it, he fell on his face, 5 and he said to Korah and all his company, “In the morning the Lord will show who is his, and who is holy, and will bring him near to him. The one whom he chooses he will bring near to him. 6 Do this: take censers, Korah and all his company; 7 put fire in them and put incense on them before the Lord tomorrow, and the man whom the Lord chooses shall be the holy one. You have gone too far, sons of Levi!” 8 And Moses said to Korah, “Hear now, you sons of Levi: 9 is it too small a thing for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself, to do service in the tabernacle of the Lord and to stand before the congregation to minister to them, 10 and that he has brought you near him, and all your brothers the sons of Levi with you? And would you seek the priesthood also? 11 Therefore it is against the Lord that you and all your company have gathered together. What is Aaron that you grumble against him?”

12 And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, and they said, “We will not come up. 13 Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, that you must also make yourself a prince over us? 14 Moreover, you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor given us inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up.” 15 And Moses was very angry and said to the Lord, “Do not respect their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them, and I have not harmed one of them.”

16 And Moses said to Korah, “Be present, you and all your company, before the Lord, you and they, and Aaron, tomorrow. 17 And let every one of you take his censer and put incense on it, and every one of you bring before the Lord his censer, 250 censers; you also, and Aaron, each his censer.” 18 So every man took his censer and put fire in them and laid incense on them and stood at the entrance of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron. 19 Then Korah assembled all the congregation against them at the entrance of the tent of meeting. And the glory of the Lord appeared to all the congregation.

20 And the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying, 21 “Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.” 22 And they fell on their faces and said, “O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will you be angry with all the congregation?” 23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 24 “Say to the congregation, Get away from the dwelling of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”

25 Then Moses rose and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him. 26 And he spoke to the congregation, saying, “Depart, please, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest you be swept away with all their sins.” 27 So they got away from the dwelling of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. And Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the door of their tents, together with their wives, their sons, and their little ones. 28 And Moses said, “Hereby you shall know that the Lord has sent me to do all these works, and that it has not been of my own accord. 29 If these men die as all men die, or if they are visited by the fate of all mankind, then the Lord has not sent me. 30 But if the Lord creates something new, and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them up with all that belongs to them, and they go down alive into Sheol, then you shall know that these men have despised the Lord.”

31 And as soon as he had finished speaking all these words, the ground under them split apart. 32 And the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households and all the people who belonged to Korah and all their goods. 33 So they and all that belonged to them went down alive into Sheol, and the earth closed over them, and they perished from the midst of the assembly. 34 And all Israel who were around them fled at their cry, for they said, “Lest the earth swallow us up!” 35 And fire came out from the Lord and consumed the 250 men offering the incense.

36 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 37 “Tell Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest to take up the censers out of the blaze. Then scatter the fire far and wide, for they have become holy. 38 As for the censers of these men who have sinned at the cost of their lives, let them be made into hammered plates as a covering for the altar, for they offered them before the Lord, and they became holy. Thus they shall be a sign to the people of Israel.” 39 So Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers, which those who were burned had offered, and they were hammered out as a covering for the altar, 40 to be a reminder to the people of Israel, so that no outsider, who is not of the descendants of Aaron, should draw near to burn incense before the Lord, lest he become like Korah and his company—as the Lord said to him through Moses.

41 But on the next day all the congregation of the people of Israel grumbled against Moses and against Aaron, saying, “You have killed the people of the Lord.” 42 And when the congregation had assembled against Moses and against Aaron, they turned toward the tent of meeting. And behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the Lord appeared. 43 And Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting, 44 and the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 45 “Get away from the midst of this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.” And they fell on their faces. 46 And Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer, and put fire on it from off the altar and lay incense on it and carry it quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them, for wrath has gone out from the Lord; the plague has begun.” 47 So Aaron took it as Moses said and ran into the midst of the assembly. And behold, the plague had already begun among the people. And he put on the incense and made atonement for the people. 48 And he stood between the dead and the living, and the plague was stopped. 49 Now those who died in the plague were 14,700, besides those who died in the affair of Korah. 50 And Aaron returned to Moses at the entrance of the tent of meeting, when the plague was stopped.

It is illegal for them do this. The Hatch Act forbids federal employees from engaging in politics, although that is domestic in its language. But the people Obama has on payroll defy this all the time.

Obama accepted Millions (perhaps Billions) in foreign campaign cash in 2008 and 2012.

He should be in Federal prison right now for that, and he isn't.

2 U.S. Code § 441e - Contributions and donations by foreign nationals

It is against law for our government officials to likewise campaign and interfere in foreign elections, but laws mean nothing to the lawless.

Many are intimidated by what they think their relationship with the US is. That’s why Pelosi made her statement which was for dumping Bibi. I just hope Jews are smart enough to understand what that deal with Iran is all about and hope Obama doesn’t have the last word here.

When all of this ends not well and there are a few of us left to try to put it back together again, those who survive should be taking notes now of all those who need be swinging on lamp posts when the time arrives.

> “The rally’s keynote speaker is former Mossad chief Meir Dagan who recently slammed Netanyahu’s conduct and called him “the person who has caused the greatest strategic damage to Israel...”

Dagan’s not a bad Israeli nor is he devoid of some notable insight but he’s gambling with his thoughts which are frequently wrong, and these are high stakes which is why he was sacked.

http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/ex-mossad-chief-dagan-military-strike-against-iran-would-be-stupid-1.360412

Dagan better take stock of himself and find a way to be more helpful to his country rather than try forcing his views in public. Maybe continued retirement is best, but if he’s got something to contribute he should do so without creating division.

What made Dagan so antagonistic is still a question here. But sometimes people get full of themselves and go bad. He was obviously calling things wrong such as the threat of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Why he hasn’t shown humility given his extensive history and the history of his parents is possibly evidence of a character defect.

However, his parents fled from the Holocaust in Poland to the USSR where Dagan was apparently educated. If Dagan grew up in the USSR, that would lend a great explanation to his biases.

In any case Dagan is prime material for the Obama people to exploit. And it appears that they have done just that.

I think Netanyahu will go on to win big but maybe he should try to find a place for Dagan because Dagan is not a complete flake. But then again even a little flakiness in such a high stakes game can be fatal.

We have to admit, Obama’s regime is good at it. Egypt, Libya, Ukraine is one thing....Israel is the whole different game. On the other hand they have sabotaged America some 7 years ago.

Exactly. The only nation God has promised to protect is Israel. Period. No other nation (including the US) has any such contract with God.

Obama is directly responsible for the Middle East's descent into Islamic Evil.

His 2009 Cairo speech was written by the Muslim Brotherhood, who were seated up front. The President of Egypt was even kept away.

In that remarkable and terrifying speech, Obama gave over the United States to Islamic authority, and encouraged the radicals to take over. He was quite overt in his promise that Obama and the US would not stop them.

I encourage people to read the entire text or watch it on YouTube. It was the Munich Speech of 1933 for our time.

I heard small cadres of Iranians...Chanting “down, down, down with the shah” during my lunch hour in the San Francisco financial district for weeks on end back in 1976 or thereabouts..

Everyday the same chant...

If Jimmy had been in the neighborhood, he would have joined them. I’m certain
