Senate Panel Thinks Obama May Have Worked To Oust Netanyahu
[su_right_ad]They’re investigating whether the president worked to oust the Israeli premier. That’s how Obama Derangement Syndrome works.
According to the source, the probe is looking into “funding” by OneVoice Movement – a Washington-based group that has received $350,000 in recent State Department grants, and until last November was headed by a veteran diplomat from the Clinton administrations.
A subsidiary of OneVoice is the Israel-based Victory 15 campaign, itself guided by top operatives of Obama’s White House runs, which seeks to “replace the government” of Israel.
“It’s confirmed that there is a bipartisan Permanent Subcommittee inquiry into OneVoice’s funding of V15,” the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity about the American group, which bills itself as working for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
In his television interview, Netanyahu said the coalition seeking to oust him is generously funded by foreign donors who are also encouraging a high voter turnout among Israel’s Arab and left-wing voters in a bid to replace the existing leadership.

“Big victory for right wing in Israel and for radical leftists who said all along that right
wing would triumph”-Chemi Shalev US Editor, Haaretz.
Sadly, a lot of Israelis are predicting this to be the beginning of the end for Israel;
– Most allies have lost patience and are withdrawing support.
– Likud has ALWAYS made Israel less secure.
– The housing crisis only getting worse as more money goes into subsidizing the settlements.
– They can’t afford the subsidies for the Ḥaredi to do nothing but study religion.
– The Ḥaredi are STILL refusing to serve.
– The young are leaving.
– The only way they can avoid both a one state and a two state solution, and expect some modicum of peace and security is to kill everybody, Christians and Muslims included in the entire region.

If Obama cares, why’s he indifferent to the fact that the unemployment numbers are a fabrication, we have 5 million fewer jobs in this country that we had when he was sworn in, average wages are down, and we have more citizens collecting govt benefits than ever before?
arc99 March 15th, 2015 at 3:36 pm
First of all, being indifferent to right wing bullsh*t is the only appropriate response. Please note that whatever fiction some talk radio entertainer told you to think, is not a fact.
More importantly, the largest generation in the history of our republic is retiring and claiming their justly earned social security benefits.
When you have more people than ever before, eligible for a government benefit which has been in existence for over 80 years, how in the world do you expect the number of people receiving government assistance to decrease?
Is logic really that foreign to you Obama-haters?
http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/what-baby-boomers-retirement-means-for-the-u-s-economy/
It’s no coincidence that the U.S. labor force participation rate — the share of the adult population that has a job or is trying to find one — hit a record high in the late 1990s, when the boomers were at the peak of their working lives.
It’s been downhill ever since. The participation rate hit a 36-year low last month, and while there are multiple reasons for the decline, the aging of the baby boom generation is a dominant factor. In 2003, 82 percent of boomers were part of the labor force; a decade later, that number has declined to 66 percent, and it will only continue to fall.

I think PM Netanyahu most likely ousted himself. Like most Liberal Americans, the Israeli people are mostly laid back and easy going. One thing neither of them like to see is the leader of their nation pandering – groveling – begging a bunch of drunken adulterers to be their friend. Not only does it make them appear to be weak and untrustworthy, it reflects badly on the people that elected them.
Robert M. Snyder March 15th, 2015 at 1:15 pm
“Twice as many Israelis say that US President Barack Obama’s administration is interfering in the election as those who say it is not, according to a Panels Research poll taken for The Jerusalem Post and its Hebrew sister publication, Maariv Sof Hashavua. Sixty-two percent of respondents said the Obama administration is interfering, 31% said it is not interfering, and 8% did not know.”
http://www.jpost.com/Israel-Elections/Obama-interfering-in-Israeli-election-according-to-Jerusalem-Post-poll-390925
arc99 March 15th, 2015 at 1:40 pm
Since the article does not provide a link to the actual text of the poll questions, we are left to wonder exactly how each person who respnded, defines “interference”. Is criticism of Netanyahu’s policies interpreted as interference? I guess we will never know.
We do know that according to the poll you cite, only 41% of Israelis thought Netanyahu should speak to Congress. It also shows that only 42% of Israelis want him to remain as PM.
So however interference is defined, there is at least a portion of the Israeli electorate where that interference will produce the result they are looking for.
Robert M. Snyder March 15th, 2015 at 2:33 pm
Many Americans welcomed “interference” by George Soros in the 2004 election. I realize that Soros is a naturalized American citizen, and of course he holds no political office, so it’s not quite the same. However, he is in a position to direct large sums of money to influence elections, which I suspect is what many Israelis think Obama has done.
Just as many Americans welcomed “interference” by Soros, many Israelis who are opposed to Netanyahu would naturally welcome this type of “interference” by the Obama administration.
As Deep Throat said to Woodward “Follow the money.”.
“On 11 November 2003, in an interview with The Washington Post, Soros said that removing President George W. Bush from office was the “central focus of my life” and “a matter of life and death”. He said he would sacrifice his entire fortune to defeat Bush “if someone guaranteed it”. Soros gave $3 million to the Center for American Progress, $2.5 million to MoveOn.org, and $20 million to America Coming Together. These groups worked to support Democrats in the 2004 election.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Soros
arc99 March 15th, 2015 at 2:45 pm
I really don’t understand the significance of the poll question. Thanks to a Supreme Court decision, money is free speech. Any exercise of first amendment rights can be seen as interference by people who do not like the message they are hearing.
American billionaire Sheldon Adelson is Jewish. However he is not an Israeli citizen as my understanding is that a person must emigrate and settle in Israel to claim right of return citizenship.
Adelson is an American “interfering” in Israeli politics while apparently doing nothing that is either illegal or unethical.
Poll question sounds like the ultimate straw man to me..
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2014/05/01/how-u-s-billionaire-sheldon-adelson-is-buying-up-israels-media/
“As a very strong backer of Prime Minister Netanyahu – not that there’s anything wrong with it – Adelson owns a paper that is rarely, if ever, critical of the PM,” wrote Shmeul Rosner, an Israeli commentator, in Jewish Journal. “He now owns two papers, and one might suspect that now two papers will never be critical of Netanyahu.”
Robert M. Snyder March 15th, 2015 at 3:01 pm
Some responses to this blog article suggested that someone would have to be deranged (e.g. “tin foil”) to imagine that the Obama admin was trying to influence the Israeli election. I suspect that this kind of thing happens all the time (e.g. Iran Contra). We like to pretend that everything is civilized and gentlemanly, but the reality is that might makes right, whether it’s military might or financial might. It’s ruthless competition…survival of the fittest…concealed behind a thin veil of civility.
arc99 March 15th, 2015 at 3:19 pm
I think the tinfoil reference is due to the complete waste of time and money we have seen with the IRS hearings (no White House involvement), healthcare.gov hearings (problems fixed within a month or two), Ebola hearings (medical protocols were effective, no threat to public health, no deluge of infected from Mexico as suggested Rep. Blackburn R-TN) and Benghazi (no wrongdoing and no stand down order).
A Senate subcommittee investigation by definition implies that something unethical our outright illegal is going on.
Given the track record of recent Congressional investigations as noted above, the tin foil reference is entirely accurate in my opinion.
Robert M. Snyder March 15th, 2015 at 3:42 pm
It would appear that Republicans/conservatives have often been the targets of these investigations. I would readily agree that the practice can be abused for political purposes. But if there’s no wrongdoing to uncover, then it’s basically just a small waste of time and taxpayer dollars…basically the equivalent of a frivolous lawsuit. The only alternative is to take away the Senate’s power to investigate, a solution worse than the disease.
“Over the past two centuries the Senate has probed issues such as interstate commerce, Ku Klux Klan activities, the sinking of the R.M.S. Titanic, Wall Street banking practices, organized crime, antiunion activity, the sale of cotton, and the Vietnam War. Perhaps the Senate’s best-known investigatory committee, the Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities (commonly known as the Watergate Committee), investigated alleged malfeasance in the executive branch and was instrumental in bringing about the resignation of President Richard Nixon.”
https://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/briefing/Investigations.htm
Robert M. Snyder March 16th, 2015 at 12:25 pm
It would appear that the Senate is not the only entity that is capable of launching investigations.
“Allies of Bill Clinton are reportedly convinced the White House is working against the former first lady’s presidential ambitions because she is not left-wing enough. This is hardly the first time Klein has espoused these theories. Appearing on Fox News on Wednesday, Klein said Clinton is under six investigations that have been launched by the White House. Klein claimed his State Department sources are seeing “tons of documents being wheeled through the corridors from Clinton’s old offices, and they’re going through these looking for problems on her expense account, on her dealings with foreign leaders—all of this, I’m told, is prompted by Valerie Jarrett and the president, who do not want to see Hillary Clinton president of the United States,” according to Mediaite.”

I agree. It’s ruthless competition. Let the fittest prevail.
My new governor (Tom Wolf) wants to increase state taxes by $4 billion a year for “education”, which means giving $4 billion a year to teachers who will contribute a large portion to their unions, who will support future Democratic candidates. Everyone knows how this works. Let’s stop pretending that anyone is above this sort of thing. Politics is a dirty business. It is pointless to quarrel about who is “dirty” and who is “clean”. Just get in the ring and duke it out.
OldLefty March 15th, 2015 at 3:28 pm
My new governor (Tom Wolf)
_____
He is my new governor as well.
I worked hard for him, especially on education, and to oppose Corbett’s privatization.
(This was a newspaper clipping from last year)
Harrisburg Republicans push budget cuts that make life harder for residents. Then, politicians make it easier for allies to profit from the misery.
The Educational Improvement Tax
Credit (EITC), was hatched in 2001. Here’s how it works: The state provides $40
million a year in tax credits for businesses that donate to so-called
“scholarship organizations.” Those groups funnel the money to private
schools, helping low-to-moderate-income students pay tuition.
What’s in it for business?
As one scholarship organization’s website put it, the credit “enables
companies to support local nonprofit charities … instead of sending their tax
dollars to Harrisburg.”
“In many cases, the actual total out-of-pocket expense to a company is zero,” boasts another.
The EITC can be worth as much as 90 cents for every dollar donated — a great deal even by corporate-giveaway standards.
“It’s the only policy I know of where a business gets a very
generous credit for something that has no relationship to what they do,”
says Stephen Hertzenberg, of the liberal Keystone Research Center. And when
federal tax benefits are factored in, he adds, the tax benefits could outweigh
the original donation. Meanwhile, there’s the PR benefit of helping the kids at
Our Lady of Eternal Tax Avoidance High School.
. In May, The New York
Times reported that in Pennsylvania and seven other states who have them,
EITC-like programs “have amounted to a lifeline for many religious
schools,” including those who “spread the theology of
creationism.”
Do all these schools really help students? Who knows? While public-school kids spend more and more hours taking standardized tests, private schools are exempt from standard testing.
But Harrisburg politicians are doubling down on the bet that they work. Last
month, the House passed HB 1330, which would expand the amount of available
credits to $120 million — a six-fold increase from back in 2001. The bill
passed with massive bipartisan support.
Why? With public schools
hurting, and Gov. Tom Corbett proposing $30 million cuts from early education
alone, why are we bailing out private schools?
This is the redistribution of wealth to the top donors.
Robert M. Snyder March 15th, 2015 at 3:58 pm
Out with the old crooks, in with the new crooks.
My local school district ranks at the 7th percentile among PA’s 501 districts. We have a handful of great teachers. But as one of them put it “Fifty percent of the teachers should be fired”.
PA teacher salaries are already among the highest in the US. You can understand why I’m skeptical about a $4 billion increase in education spending.
Mind you, I am not cynical. I could get behind it if I were convinced that it would really make a difference. But I wasn’t born yesterday. The biggest problems in education can’t be fixed with money. Parents are the weakest link in the chain. It’s a cultural issue. Many parents and teachers in my district have no vision, not goals, no motivation. They are apathetic, living for today. The kids have no sense of purpose.
The best thing my parents and teachers ever did for me was to teach me to care about the world I live in so that I would want to learn the skills that would allow me to make a difference. They taught me to work on long-term goals with delayed gratification. Today it’s all about instant gratification. Today’s younger teachers were raised in that same culture.
I don’t see how another $4 billion is going to make a dent in that, unless we use it to get rid of the lowest 50% of teachers and replace them with top talent from the commercial sector. A practicing engineer or scientist with good credentials would never work for what a teacher earns, so maybe we get what we pay for.
OldLefty March 15th, 2015 at 4:19 pm
My school was 11th (Data are based on the 2011-2012 school year.)???

They also know that at worst there will be a couple of patsies somewhere in State who were “over enthusiastic” and went beyond procedures in supporting these groups, thus it was never really Obama involved (nudge, nudge, wink, wink). That’s the Chicago Political process … do what you want but always make sure the fall guys are in place to protect the top, just in case.

Would you mind posting some link to some sort of evidence that Hillary has destroyed evidence?
I’ll wait

Do you honestly believe you are saying anything that has not been said about EVERY president??
Come up with some new schtick.

What does it matter for Obama derangement Syndrome if there are Democrats?
PAC money trumps party loyalty.
Where in their website can you get information on this???

Meanwhile, this pretty common.
Look at NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR DEMOCRACY of which the International
Republican Institute is a component ,
receives appropriation from the U.S. Congress through the Department of
State
http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/181143.pdf
AT&T at the time was seeking political support for an
$80 billion merger with BellSouth — another Madigan client — and Mr. Whitacre
lavished praise on Mr. McCain, a senior member of the Senate Commerce
Committee. When Mr. McCain finally took the podium, he expressed “profound
thanks” to AT&T before presenting the institute’s Freedom Award to the
president of Liberia, a lobbying client ofCharlie Black, an institute donor and McCain
campaign adviser.
The parade of lobbyists and fund-raisers at the dinner is
emblematic of Mr. McCain’s tenure at the institute, one of a pair of nonprofit
groups — taxpayer-financed and each allied with one of the two major political
parties — that were created during the Reagan era to promote democracy in
closed societies.
As Senator John McCain waited to speak at the annual awards
dinner of the International Republican Institute, a democracy-building group he
has led for 15 years, lobbyists and business executives dominated the stage at
a Washington hotel ballroom.
First up that night in September 2006 was the institute’s
vice chairman, Peter T. Madigan, a McCain campaign fund-raiser and lobbyist
whose clients span the globe, from Dubai to Colombia. He thanked Timothy P.
McKone, an AT&T lobbyist and McCain fund-raiser, for helping with the
dinner arrangements and then introduced the chairman of AT&T, Edward E.
Whitacre Jr., whose company had donated $200,000 for the event.

I think there is a similar organization for Democrats.

Obama Fault Syndrome has become the first mental disorder in history to be caused by politics.
Walter Engler March 15th, 2015 at 12:41 pm
As expected from another Obama minion. When are you going to open your eyes and see Obama is one of the most war like presidents we’ve ever had. He supports a coup in Ukraine leading to all the issues we have with Russia, calls for airstrikes and drones around the world as he sees fit with no respect for national borders, supports rebel groups with airstrikes when it’s in his best interest to look good (like Libya or more recently ISIS because heaven forbid ISIS should succeed and make his work in the Middle East look like a failure). In all of theses cases Obama justifies it as being bloodless in his mind as no US troops are on the ground .. he merely supports other groups as proxies to fight and die for him or sends in planes and drones to kill people. And when “allies” disagree with him, well, they are his enemies too and get a different treatment. From listening in on the phone conversations of leaders in Europe to now we see funding opposition groups opposed to people he would like to remove from power. Obama has shown that Machiavelli is they way he treats the world, doing what he wants to achieve what he wants.

So which is it? Is the President an incompetent Homer Simpson or a supremely evil omnipotent Tony Soprano?
Obama-hater arguments are long on hysteria and completely bereft of intellectual consistency or for that matter common sense.
How’s the birth certificate investigation coming along?

Ummm, a million injured Americans? I don’t think we’ve had a million americans set foot in Iraq TOTAL in the last 5 decades.
And the debt from war spending is nothing compared to the wasteful spending the Democrats have supported since they took power in 2006. Also, Isis never would’ve been a threat if we hadn’t started crap in Iraq and Egypt, but it also wouldn’t have been a threat if we hadn’t pulled out of Iraq and actively undermined the govt of Syria.
StoneyCurtisll March 15th, 2015 at 3:24 pm
So you support the Assad regime in Syria?
And think we should still be actively fighting in Iraq?
fasisnating..

They said basically the same thing about EVERY president.

Obama tried to get us involved in Libya and Syria too, never mind that he wanted to support the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria against a secular dictator. When has that EVER worked out well for us in the Middle East?
StoneyCurtisll March 15th, 2015 at 3:15 pm
You have no idea what you are talking about…
I will leave it at that.
William March 15th, 2015 at 3:23 pm
“never mind that he wanted to support the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria against a secular dictator.”
Could you post a link please?
I’d like to read about that.
StoneyCurtisll March 15th, 2015 at 3:28 pm
I suspect he thinks Syria is Egypt…
Confusion and derangement are not exclusively.

OldLefty March 18th, 2015 at 9:16 pm
Those are little half truths.
Libya was a NATO enforcement of a UN sanctioned no fly zone.
Obama wanted to strike a weapons site in Syria, and asked for Congressional approval.
He never supported the Muslim Brotherhood other than the winners of an election and then was trashed for not calling their ouster a “coup”.
William March 15th, 2015 at 1:49 pm
Unlike Obama Tourette’s, OFS is not covered under Obama-care. It’s best to just let them go.
