EILAT, Israel – The V15 group working to defeat Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government in the upcoming election has confirmed to WND it is primarily financed by an American billionaire and a Mexican entrepreneur who is a U.S. resident.

V15, short for Victory 2015, attracted U.S. media attention after it hired 270 Strategies, a consulting firm whose senior leadership is comprised mostly of former top staffers for President Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign.

Uri Wollman, V15′s spokesman, told WND his organization’s ballooning infrastructure is funded primarily by three private philanthropists:

•S. Daniel Abraham, the billionaire founder of the Slim Fast food line. Abraham is a major donor to the Democratic Party and the Clinton Foundation.
•Daniel Lubetzky, a social entrepreneur whose OneVoice Movement is partnered with V15.
•Alon Kastiel, a Tel Aviv-based businessman and owner of multiple local venues, including bars, clubs and hotels....

No doubt. The majority of the “team members” for the 270 Strategies firm are (drum-roll please) former directors (of various offices) for the Obama re-election campaign. How about that? http://270strategies.com/ If you can find a way to stop the slide show on the opening page, you’ll see some interesting tidbits about how this group “worked” his re-election.

They have so much open land there in North Korea they probably even have Par 6 holes. An Oligarchy paradise. Obama is more sinister in his foreign affairs then even North Korea (drone strikes, election tampering, terrorist funding, rebel training, terrorist arming, supporting all tyrants, over throwing elected governments, etc. etc.). If we did not have our guns, domestically we would be treated the same as the North Koreans. But because we still have our guns, he could only send the IRS and EPA lawyers after us.

Someone help me, doesn't this mean they're violating Israeli law?

This is what the CIA used to be used for in part... Now we have an American President using a private organization - using private citizens he currently employs.

And Halliburton as a contractor was off the reservation. Obama is the one who is totally out of control.

This isn't the first time that US Dummycrats have been intruding into Israeli elections by targeting Bibi Netanyahu. During the Clinton years, they were successful (from their point of view) in defeating Netanyahu and replacing him with their lapdog, Ehud Barak. (IIRC, none other than James Carville was involved in that effort.) Let's hope and pray that they don't succeed again.

This time their animosity against Natanyahu is even worse, as evidenced by the recent Obama tantrum over Netanyahu being invited to speak to Congress.

Likud likens V15 activity to past corruption allegations against Herzog

It’s not a funny sounding name if his parents were Trotsky supporters that fled to Mexico City to avoid Trotsky’s opponents in the communist party.
