NETANYAHU IS ABOUT TO DESTROY OBAMA'S PLOT AGAINST HIM

BREAKING: Netanyahu Is About to Destroy Obama’s Plot Against Him

It’s been no secret that the Obama administration doesn’t like Benjamin Netanyahu. In fact, if it were a secret, President Barack Obama would personally take out a full-page advertisement in The New York Times so that it would be a secret no longer.

However, what a lot of Americans don’t know is that Obama isn’t just working against Netanyahu by trying to limit his influence in America. He’s also trying to influence politics in Israel, as well — and his attempts are backfiring hugely.

One of the top officials in Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign, Jeremy Bird, has been leading the campaign against Prime Minister Netanyahu’s re-election in the Israeli parliamentary elections scheduled for March 17.

Bird’s group, which is known as V15, aims to topple Netanyahu’s Likud Party and install more left-leaning leadership in the Israeli Knesset and the prime minister’s office.

What’s more, Bird’s group has been getting most of its funding from a U.S.-U.K. organization called One Voice.

Given the closeness of Bird to Obama — he was the field director in 2012 — many observers have noted it would be unlikely that Bird would take such a position if the Obama administration weren’t directly interfering with the election in Israel.

Well, Netanyahu has proved yet again that the best revenge is living well — or, in his case, polling well.

In spite of increased Obama interference in the race, the latest polls indicate that Likud is poised to take 26 seats in the Knesset to the Zionist Union’s 23, up from a deadlock between the two parties in recent polls.

And while fears that Netanyahu’s speech to Congress would hurt his chances, it actually increased Likud’s popularity amongst Israeli voters (H/T Western Journalism).

Given the tendency of everything Barack Obama touches to turn to dust, I have a suggestion if the president wants Netanyahu to lose the March 17 election: stay out of it.

By interfering on behalf of Bibi’s electoral opposition, the only thing you’re doing is increasing the chances they’ll screw up. In fact, endorse Bibi. Send Jonathan Gruber over to work on his campaign. Maybe he can even cook up a “Bibicare” scheme.

However, by throwing his weight behind the leftist opposition, all Obama proved to Israel is that a man who scarcely cares about their country’s security wants Netanyahu to lose. That’s all most voters needed to see in order to support Likud.
