An unnamed Israeli official quoted by the Times of Israel says it was “no secret” among officials that the White House attempted to influence last week’s elections and see Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ousted.
The official said Obama had previously tried to bring down the Netanyahu coalition and failed, and that he was also driven by a quest for revenge after Netanyahu’s speech to Congress. He also speculated that Obama was trying to “divert attention from the negoitations with Iran to the Palestinian issue.”
Netanyahu openly accused the US and other western countries of trying to sabotage his election campaign in the days leading up to the election, and on the day of the vote claimed foreign powers were responsible for the high turnout among Arab voters.
If anything, however, Netanyahu was the one who made his public split with Obama a campaign issue in the Israeli election, and his last minute campaigning saw a dramatic right-ward shift against the peace process, while insisting his opponents were in league with the Americans.
The Iran 'issue' is a distraction from Israel's treatment of Palestinians, as well as it's own nuclear weapons program. And they know it, and that's why they reverse it in public statements. Consistently telling the opposite of the truth has landed that criminal state a lot of loony-toon, zealous sympathizers. Bibi-bots, if you will.
Pot, meet Kettle. Oh, look- you have something in common. You both meddle in other nation's internal politics for you own gain. I'm sure you'll have lots to talk about. Bibi and Barry, I'd like you to meet Mohamet, Jugdish, Sidney, and Clayton- have a seat, make yourselves comfortable, and don't be shy about helping yourselves to cookies and punch.
If is true, that's a pagoda idea, as U.S. And USSR defeated hitlerism in Europe is about time for Netanyahu to be facing the ICC prosecutors for war crimes and act against humanity as hitlerism did.
Looks like Israel is, or at least thinks or I’d saying it is, getting a taste of its own medicine, like what they did to elections in Gaza, and they don’t like it. Shocking.
And what did said official have to say when netenyahoo endorsed Romney and campaigned against Obama.
failed plot by a presidential failure
I'm shocked- SHOCKED, I tell you!- to find there is election tampering going on here! This establishment is closed- round up the usual number of suspects.
