The whole Netanyahu demonization narrative is an attempt to distract from what really happened. A lot of money spent in a failed effort to steal an election.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s campaign manager is predicting a wave of outside spending in future Israeli elections.
“I think in every election campaign from this point onward, you’ll see external groups slugging the market. It’ll be very interesting,” Netanyahu’s top strategist, Aron Shaviv, told The Hill.
During the campaign, Netanyahu allies decried the influence of foreigners, a group that saw a higher profile this year, arguing they found a loophole by not directly supporting a candidate but merely opposing the Israeli leader.
“The campaign slogan was ‘Anyone but Bibi,’ ” Shaviv said. “Of course it was personal.”
Shaviv, who is based in Israel but consults in other mostly European countries, said foreign groups took advantage of independent expenditures this cycle, estimating they outspent political parties in Israel at least 2-to-1 on advertising.
That’s quite a ratio. It’s quite an attempted hijacking.
Is that counting Obama?
Foreign money has to have as its focus the Left, which is the greatest enemy of civilization. Know them by the company they keep.
Just like our elections.
US and other foreign interference in elections all over the world has had a great impact on the chaos and power vacuums we're seeing globally. Won't it be something if the ME finally gets its act together when the US won't enable Saudi and other failures to do so for themselves?
Foreign groups regularly spend far more than Americans do and democratic elections in America so what’s different with that?
