Obama’s shocking interference into Israel’s election process to defeat Netanyahu.

When the French called for an
anti-terror parade of world leaders following the Paris
terror attacks one of the first to accept was Israel’s Prime
Minister.
According to the rumor mill, Hollande
tried to dissuade Benjamin Netanyahu from participating in
the rally, but Bibi stuck to his guns determined to show the
world that Israel, under constant threat from terrorism, is
defiantly linked, in fact leads, the war against terror.
For Israel, it was the right thing to
do.
Hollande not accustomed to snubs,
responded. There was a price to pay for Israel’s Prime
Minister defying the French President. Hollande invited to
this anti-terror event Mahmoud Abbas, the leader of a
Palestinian less-than-state regime with decades of bloody
terror atrocities on its hands and united in a unity
government with Hamas, an officially designated terrorist
organization.
For Israel, that was the morally wrong
to do.
Hollande did join Netanyahu in attending
the synagogue ceremony in memory of the murdered French
Jews. But he beat a hasty retreat before Bibi told the
Jewish audience to get the hell out of there.
In face of the rising European
anti-Semitism, it was morally the right thing for Israel’s
leader to do.
Switch to Washington. Benjamin Netanyahu
received the invitation to address Congress from House
Speaker, John Boehner, shortly after President Obama had
warned Congress in his State of Union Address that he would
veto any move they may make to strengthen sanctions against
Iran in pursuit of a nuclear weapon.
Israel had released a video purporting
to show an undisclosed Iranian intercontinental ballistic
missile site, and Netanyahu was concerned that the Obama
Administration was on its way to signing an agreement with
Iran while Israel was embroiled in elections. So he accepted
Boehner’s invitation.
Once again, it was the right thing for
the Israeli leader to do.
But a furious Obama White House
threatened “there would be a price” to pay for
Bibi’s visit to Washington.
Now we discover what that price is.
The Obama presidential election team
has set up camp in Tel Aviv with the mission to defeat
Netanyahu in our upcoming election.
The “Anyone but Bibi” mission is
headed by Jeremy Bird, Obama’s National Field Director in
his successful presidential campaigns.
Under Bird, a group called “Victory
15” has been set up. It has recruited the
young activists from Israel’s 2013 social protest movement
and will man a massive social network and personal contact
campaign to defeat Bibi. V15 is financed by an NGO called “One
Voice” whose motto is to be “the voice
of mainstream Israelis and Palestinians.” Research
finds that One Voice is funded by John Kerry’s
State Department.
In its press release, V15 calls itself “non
partisan” which is clearly a lie. Its aim is solely to
defeat Bibi,
Can we really call that “non
partisan”?
In its 2014 annual report is describes
its actions as “promoting
popular resistance, state-building, and the Arab Peace
Initiative, while advocating for an end to the conflict
and a two-state solution along the 1967 borders.”
Does Israel really
need this outsider that advocates “popular resistance”
to impose the Arab Peace Initiative on to Israel? There
is grave danger in the intent of this American
interference into our political system.
It is no coincidence that the
headquarters of the V15 campaign is right next door to the
Tel Aviv offices of One Voice.
One Voice was formed in 2003,
its inaugural board of advisers included Gary Gladstein
who used to be the chief operations officer of Soros Fund
Management. As in George Soros.
The major consulting firm working on the
Israeli elections is “270 Strategies” which is also
headed by Bird. This company operates in elections on the
principle of grassroots community organization, dividing the
countries into local zones and working them incessantly and
efficiently. It was the tactics that drove Obama into the
White House in 2008 and kept him there in 2012.
According to World Net Daily, 270
Strategies has a team of 45 in Israel; sixteen of them
are former Obama staffers who have been parachuted into Tel
Aviv to lead the local workers with their experience.
One of the top men is Mitch Steward, a 270
Strategies founding partner who helped the Obama
campaign build what the U.K. Guardian newspaper
called “a historic ground operation that will provide
the model for political campaigns in America and around
the world for years to come.”
Obama’s excuse for not meeting with
Netanyahu in Washington was that he couldn't be seen
interfering in the Israeli election process. But the White
House and the State Department is now exposed as seriously
interfering in Israeli politics with the Obama team,
financed by the Obama Administration, working to unseat
Benjamin Netanyahu and his party in Israel’s upcoming
election.
In Congress, Netanyahu will receive more
standing ovations than Obama received when he addressed
Congress. In Israel, the big question is will he receive
more votes in our election than any other party. Or will he
pay the political price for defying Obama?
Whatever the result, this is a major
attack by America on our electoral system and a further
deterioration in America’s attachment to Israel.
If Obama’s efforts help defeat Netanyahu
another question to be asked is, can Israel survive the
damage of an Obama presidency?
