Nationalist newspaper Makor Rishon's editor Amnon Lord noted in a front page article on Friday that Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic Monthly, who is close to the Obama administration, hinted rather broadly that Obama was behind the very leak – regarding construction of 1,600 housing units at Ramat Shlomo – that supposedly surprised the administration and made it so angry.
“Obama is not trying to destroy America's relations with Israel; he's trying to organize Tzipi Livni's campaign for prime minister, or at least for her inclusion in a broad-based centrist government,” Goldberg wrote. “The goal,” he explained, “is to force a rupture in the governing coalition that will make it necessary for Netanyahu to take into his government Livni's centrist Kadima Party (...) and form a broad, 68-seat majority in Knesset that does not have to rely on gangsters, messianists and medievalists for votes.”

Livni ought to be tried for sedition.
I wouldn’t put it past her. This is just the kind of thing she would do. And Obama intervened in the Israeli elections earlier, making it clear that he wouldn’t work with Netanyahu if the Israelis were stupid enough to vote for him.

Jeffrey Goldberg of the Atlantic Monthly, who is close to the Obama administration... "Obama is not trying to destroy America's relations with Israel; he's trying to organize Tzipi Livni's campaign for prime minister, or at least for her inclusion in a broad-based centrist government. The goal, is to force a rupture in the governing coalition that will make it necessary for Netanyahu to take into his government Livni's centrist Kadima Party (...) and form a broad, 68-seat majority in Knesset that does not have to rely on gangsters, messianists and medievalists for votes."Gangsters, messianists, and medievalists? I didn't realize Netanyahu *had* any Moslems in his coalition. Thanks Never A Dull Moment.
