Clinton’s Political Hit Man in Israel to Take Down Netanyahu
frontpagemag.com/the-point ^ | October 27, 2012 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 10/27/2012 7:17:15 AM PDT by expat1000

The Obama vs Netanyahu political bloodbath has a sharp historical edge. When the conservative Israeli Prime Minister won the election during the Clinton Administration, Clinton used his political hit men to force him out of office. One of those hit men was Stanley Greenberg.

Stanley Greenberg helped push Israel’s earlier version of Occupy Wall Street. Now with elections coming up, Greenberg is back in Israel to try and topple Netanyahu one more time.

While Netanyahu’s reelection prospects are looking far better than Obama’s, a major factor in Obama’s Middle East policy is getting rid of Netanyahu.

The Labor party has hired Stanley Greenberg, a leading Democratic political strategist, to direct its campaign in the upcoming elections for Knesset.

Greenberg, along with partners James Carville and Robert Shrum, helped Labor under Ehud Barak defeat Netanyahu in the 1999 elections. Previously, then-President Bill Clinton was reportedly active in creating rifts within Netanyahu’s coalition, hastening its downfall.

The pattern of action may be repeating itself, as Greenberg appears to have played a key role in destabilizing Netanyahu’s present government as well. According to an investigative report by Maariv’s Kalman Libeskind, it was Greenberg who gave directions to an Israeli strategy forum in 2011, on how to engineer the “social protests” that brought hundreds of thousands of Israelis to the streets that summer.

The protests failed to push out Netanyahu, but Greenberg’s strategy was to put pressure on Netanyahu and tear apart his coalition.

Netanyahu obscured the protests by cutting the Shalit deal that free thousands of terrorists. And economic and political issues have moved Israel toward new elections.

The protests – which received free wall-to-wall promotion and coverage from liberal media, and drew crowds by offering free music from top artists – forced the Netanyahu government to abandon its economic principles in favor of “social” legislation, like subsidized preschool education. These economic measures, in turn, slowed down the Israeli economy and forced the government into crafting an austerity budget for 2013. The fact that no party wants to approve such a budget in an election year is what recently convinced Netanyahu he had no choice but to call early elections.

Netanyahu won’t be replaced by the idiotic Yachimovich, but the goal is to keep pushing and undermining him. Rather than going after Ahmadinejad, the Democratic Party establishment is doing everything possible to break Netanyahu.

I can’t believe Israel doesn’t just send [Greenberg] to Libya, Afghanistan or Iraq when he tries to enter the country.

I'm sure there are some in Israel who might like to see that, but remember that Greenberg is Jewish and Israel was created as a Jewish state. It wouldn't be too good a public relations move, nor would it be consistent with Israeli law.

Better that Israel enacts some legislation prohibiting foreigners from playing too much of a role in their election process, if they don't already have some such law.

They sent Corporal Q-ball here last time to take down Bibi. Say what you want about the man, but Dem Presidents seem to have a serious problem with him, and that’s a good thing.

Weren’t these rat-b@$t@rds also involved in the last election where Netanyahu was removed from office?

One way or another, the leftists, along with the dems, just want to see dead Jews, the more the merrier!

Caption in picture: Why isn’t his nose big and hooked, like in all those cartoons from the 1930s? Never mind. He must be ground into the dust anyway.

They could not have succeeded had the corrupt labor party, at carville and greenberg’s suggestion, not filed false criminal charges against Netanyahu. They were not satisfied to unseat him to have a clinton toady as PM. They wanted to destroy Netanyahu utterly so that he could never run for office again.

The Clintons and their minions are strong believers that you don't just defeat your opponents, you must destroy them. Just ask Billy Dale. Rather than just bringing in their cronies to run the White House Travel Office, something that would have been completely legal, though maybe a bit hard to explain, they accused Billy Dale of criminal acts, and it took years and as I recall millions of dollars to clear his name (and the taxpayers paid his legal bills, which should have never been necessary).

Given the level of corruption in the Obama regime, it seems that the Clintons, as evil as they were, were mere pikers.

Yes, as documented in the posted article by Daniel Greenfield (aka "Sultan Knish").

As I said in a previous post here, the Israelis, if they haven't already done so, should be tightening up their election laws to prohibit this kind of activity that the 'Rats intend to perpetrate.

Another issue: Do you think it's a tip-off that these bigwig Dem operatives are now focusing their attention on Israel before the election in the US is over? Does this mean that they are abandoning Obama's cause as hopeless?

Is Greenberg an Israeli? If not, then Israel should deport him and never give him a visa.

Maybe not this story, but in general, it’s true.

The Democrats have been attempting to get in appeasement/communist people into power in Israel for some years to make Israel easier to bend to their will . . . . and eventually destory.
