The White House was directly involved in an attempt to topple Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in last week’s general election, during a nadir in ties between the Israeli leader and US President Barack Obama, a senior Jerusalem official said Tuesday.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told The Times of Israel that “it’s no secret” that the Obama administration had attempted to influence the outcome of the election, having been partially motivated by a desire for revenge over Netanyahu’s polarizing speech before Congress earlier this month, which sought to undermine the president’s key foreign policy initiative – a nuclear deal with Iran.
“The White House is driven by three main motives,” the official said. “The first is revenge [over the Congress speech]. The second is frustration: It’s no secret that they were involved in an attempt to bring down the Netanyahu government – something that we have clear knowledge of – and failed. The third [motive] is the administration’s attempt to divert attention from the negotiations with Iran to the Palestinian issue.”
Netanyahu’s latest term in office has seen an unprecedented, unmasked animus seep into the relationship between the administration and his government, much of it over the emerging deal with Iran. On Monday the Wall Street Journal reported that Israel had spied on the talks, an accusation that Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman attributed to efforts to undermine ties between Jerusalem and Washington.

Anonymous? Come on!
The “nadir” in relations isn’t over....by a long shot.
Looks like Sparky the wunder prez was about as successful at ousting Bibi as he is at everything else in his worthless POS life...
This was a decidedly inferior calculation and klutzy move by 0bama. OK, he hates Bibi and wants Israel destroyed. But for him to have carried on in this petulant teenager fashion *AND* fail to achieve his ends is going to end up making making him (and his surrounding sycophants) look like more of a goofball than he already is/does / they already do. This is very weakening. But he will have every Arab country on the planet coming to him for free cheese you and I can pay for, that’s for sure.
Obama is livid that the man he despises like no other won reelection. His core anti Zionism is now fully in the open. He makes no secret of his affinity for Islam. He not only refuses to acknowledge the existential threat of jihadism but he is allowing the lunatic medieval “death loving “ mullahs to acquire nuclear weapons. These actions, policies and attitudes are creating a rift within the Democratic Party. That rift may very well cost them the 2016 election.
I do think it is time for Obama to Resign.
I do think it is time for Obama to Resign.
I wouldn’t call him a “failure”, so much.
He’s the first anti-American president to get elected and re-elected.
He’s been highly successful in implementing an anti-American agenda and in destroying the institutions that made America great.
The ‘teenager fashion’ statement is absolutely correct. It’s the behavior of a ‘kid’. It ends up being discussed around in Europe, Asia, Russia, China and South America. They will ask over and over...how some immature guy makes it through life and in some accidental way becomes President.
To understand Obama’s views on race and on Jews / Israel you need to listen to his minister of twenty years, Jeremiah Wright and his Chicago neighbor Louis Farrakhan. Everything about Obama is seen through the prism of race. His current advisor, Al Sharpton, has reinforced Obama’s views about Jews.
The whole bunch is sickening.
More importantly...they will look to get over on him, and get over on him, they shall, at least some of them.
So True, if you look at obama from the perspective of the progressive liberal democrat islamic communists; he is a success.
