Obama Pushing Regime Change . . . . In Israel?

The Middle East's only true democracy. The one place in the region where Arabs can participate in selecting their political leaders without fear of violence. The most innovative nation on Earth. A beacon of liberty, plurality and diversity. A friend of America who purchases billions of dollars worth of our goods and services per year. Yes, Israel must be stopped, and President Obama will see to it.

After announcing the expansion of apartment complexes in their own capital of Jerusalem, Israel was shocked by the fierce attack by "friend of Israel" Hillary Clinton. Her disproportionate attacks, at the behest of the President, accused Israel of acting against the fantasy of a peace negotiations. What peace negotiations? Since the Palestinian groups can no longer easily slaughter unarmed men, women and children, they have nothing to offer to give Israel.

Now, some are questioning if President Obama is following in President Bush's steps with regime change. Only this time, instead of removing a psychopathic murderer in Saddam Hussein, Obama wants to remove the democratically elected Prime Minister of Israel who has more ties to America than does Obama. Bibi Netanyahu also delivers better speeches in English than the President, with less of an Indonesian accent I suppose.

President Obama's goal is to revive the useless Israeli Labor Party, which is more likely to make concessions to Palestinian statehood. The problem is that NOBODY wants a Palestinian state. It would destabilize Jordan and Lebanon. It would make Israel strategically thin and perhaps lead to Hamas and Iranian dominance in the West Bank to add to Hamas and Iranian dominance in the Gaza Strip.

President Obama should stick to what he knows best: bankrupting America and bowing to foreign debt-holders. Maybe he would back off if Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu bought American Treasury Bonds?

If anyone wanted more evidence that Hilary has no intentions of challenging Obama in 2012, just read her statement from this week. There’s no way she moves to the middle in foreign policy when she so publicly carries Obama’s water on Palestine.

I keep telling my Jewish friends that are Democrats that the Democrats pretty much hate Israel. They blow off what I say when they vote for an idiot like Obama or a ham sandwich running as Democrat, but now what do they say?

Do they care at all?

[jakerobins]

Makes me sick...and some liberal Democrat Jews will still vote for the Kenyan in 2012....Ughhh this is beyond my understanding

Israel doesn’t have a “regime”

But the USA does

[cranked]

Been saying from the get-go:

1) Netanyahu needs to literally knock the crap out of Jack Squat Barry;

2) Netanyahu needs to cut off ALL Israeli diplomatic interactions with this Jack Squat administration and say publically that “Israel will no longer deal with this current US administration till it is removed.”

[TigersEye]

He is accomplishing a “regime” change here why wouldn’t he strong arm Israel?

[Doogle]

..he’s a Muslim, what do they expect

[plangent]

Remember when Bill Clinton put his left hand across his chest as he made this statement or that? It was a “tell” that he was lying.

Obama’s “Tell” is that he starts to have a whistle sound in his speach. Just watch and lisen.

[Kackikat]

The Clintons, when Bill was Pres, did all they could too hurt Netanyahou....nothing has changed in Hillary’s mind.

As a Conservative Jew, gun owner, and military veteran, let me just state for the record, liberal Jews turn my stomach. Over and Out.

Obama Pushing Regime Change . . . . In Israel?

This could backfire on the muzzie.

Netanyahu’s government enjoys one of the highest approval ratings of any Israeli governement in the past 15 years.

[arasina]

I've always wondered why the United States government thinks it can tell Israel what to do. What is the threat to Israel if it behaves as a sovereign state? The U.S. won't come to its aid? (When is the last time they've actually done that? The Gulf War?)

What if Israel wants to defend itself and preempt Iran's nuclear threat? Our current administration is obviously on the side of any Muslim over Israelis. Zero was lying when he said the U.S.-Israel relationship is the same as it always has been.

[justiceseeker93]

This would not be the first time that a 'Rat American president sought to undermine Netanyahu. Back in the Clinton years, WJC sent the likes of James Carville to Israel to work with Israeli Labor Party candidate Ehud Barak and succeeded in helping him to defeat incumbent Netanyahu in Israel's election for PM.

Needless to say, the idea of an American administration interfering in internal Israeli politics (or in the internal politics of any democratic ally, for that matter) in an attempt to undermine the regime there is preposterous, yet not unprecedented.

George HW Bush helped ensure that the Shamir government fell in 1992.

[opentalk]

bttt

[SJackson]

I probably cant find links, but that was one of his first objectives on taking office. You might recall his hostility toward Bibi.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks justiceseeker93. It’s not surprising at all.
