Op-Ed: No, We Can’t, V15 (team Obama running "hope and change" commercials in Israel)
Arutz Sheva ^ | Thursday, February 26, 2015 6:04 AM | Judith Bergman

Featuring mostly young people in grungy outfits, looking terribly afflicted by Waiting for Change and pictured doing an awful lot of printing, painting and gluing of V15 campaign posters to the sound of a catchy soundtrack, the political campaign video for V15 has about as much depth as a Calvin Klein commercial.

In a seductive tone the male voice over tells us that they (Bibi Netanyahu) are trying to scare us (the voters) but in reality, they are afraid of us. The reason, we are told, that they are afraid of us, is that we are the Change and if we join the V15 campaign and simply turn off Bibi’s “scaremongering” (video cuts to sinister-looking Bibi on TV being turned off by fed-up-looking people with remote controls) we’ll be able to effect the Change.

This vapid, infantile message sounds so familiar, because it comes straight from Obama’s former national field adviser’s lips to your incredulous ears.

As with the original Obama campaign, there is no other message, but the tame message about the message. Change. Because you can. Hope. If you are with us. And so forth. It is unclear what it is exactly that needs to be changed, and what it needs to be exchanged with. What matters is that there will be Change and Hope.

Well, that happened in the US and look where it got the Americans.

Our nation faces an Iran hell-bent on becoming the hegemon of the Middle East and destroying Israel in the process, and the US president is practically throwing himself at the feet of the mullahs, but the V15 campaigners are not concerned. Instead, they are resorting to the well-known radical leftist adage of “calling out the fear mongers” and recommending people to turn off the unpleasant news and “make the change”.

Aren’t there rules in Israel about foreign interference in elections?

I would assume that a message with no substance would be less successful in a society that has to face harsh realities every day. We have friends who live in Israel when we asked about the constant rocket attacks; they acted like it was no big deal because they have apps on their phones that let them know when they should take shelter. It seems a little different than what we waste our time with around here.

If Israelis are as dissociated from reality as are American voters then they deserve what they get.
