Ted Cruz Requests Investigation: Has Obama launched a POLITICAL CAMPAIGN against Netanyahu
therightscoop.com ^ | 1/29/15

Posted on 01/29/2015 3:15:14 PM PST by cotton1706

Ted Cruz and Lee Zeldin have sent a letter to Kerry asking for an investigation into whether or not Obama has launched a political campaign against Netanyahu before the March elections. It’s a good question because we know White House officials have been throwing Netanyahu under the bus in Israeli media recently. But apparently there’s a lot more too it:

U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Congressman Lee Zeldin, R-NY-1, today sent a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry asking for information regarding media reports that U.S. taxpayer dollars are being used to fund efforts to influence upcoming elections in Israel.

“Has President Obama launched a political campaign against Prime Minister Netanyahu and his representatives?” Sen. Cruz asked. “This administration’s relentless harassment of Israel is utterly incomprehensible. The Islamic Republic of Iran is pursuing the deadliest weapons on the planet, and there can be no doubt that their first target will be Israel, followed by the United States. This administration should be focusing its animosity on the very real enemies we face, not on our staunch allies.”

“It is completely unacceptable to use U.S. tax dollars to influence the elections in Israel,” said Rep. Zeldin. “State Department grants should never be given to entities working to overthrow strong allies like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. We have great allies around the world, but Israel is our strongest, and a beacon of freedom in a region filled with radical Islamic extremists and state sponsored terrorism. Today, I join with Sen. Ted Cruz in calling for a U.S. Department of State investigation into this important matter.”

Its a two-for. A double header.

It is an anti Israel while being a pro Iran campaign.

He sends the Iranians cash while allowing his muslim brothers to go nuclear. AND yes, first target will be Israel, second target America.

His visit is long overdone. That POS needs to be thrown into jail for his traitorous and treasonous behavior.

Western man is at risk because of the disgrace to the White House carpets.

This could really be turned against him if it turns out to be a false flag, which there’s probably a 65% chance it is (not because the Administrati supports Netanyahu, of course, but because they’re diabolical “campaigners”) and would gladly set someone up.

And .. Ted Cruz has been meeting with several Jewish groups; I believe it has just paid off. Establishing a relationship with these groups gave Cruz the standing to make the demand to Obama.

Good for Ted. He knows the scripture Gen 12:3.

A letter? Why doesn’t he bring up a bill stating that the President can’t do that. Now that is called getting results especially if it passes. A letter to Kerry? That is probably a paper airplane by now.

There just may not be much documentation on O’s early life more than the ambiguous stuff we have now. Israelis don’t necessarily have anything earthshaking on any one random leftist in the US.

Also, the Saudis arrangement for O’s no-study education is known but Israelis may not want to emphasize that info considering their unofficial cooperation with the Sauds to keep the crazies at bay.

Lastly, the Israeli bureaucracy (including military and intelligence) has a lot of hard-core lefties who don’t want to have O embarrassed.

They won’t investigate anything until it is too late. Glad to see Cruz at least ask for it.

I can’t believe the Mossad doesn’t have the “goods” on B. Hussein O.

It would be a shame if one of those errant Gaza rockets fell on the Obama HQ in Israel....

“I read a story the other day that said the Israelis were very angry about this and that it is actually helping Bibi.”

Netanyahu wins and obama will probably claim that this was his strategy to help Netanyahu.

Of course it’s an impeachable offense, not like that means anything.

The islamonazi communist bastard couldn’t get a security clearance if he had to, and is using a fake SS#.

This has CPUSA COMINTERN written all over it.

With a healthy dose of moslem and domestic/international terrorist associations.

His goal is to give the ragheads the bomb and destroy the United States.

He is an existential threat to the survival of our nation.

A letter to Kerry?

I'm thinking it was meant as an insult to our thin skinned prez by bypassing him again.
