Has President Obama launched a political campaign against Prime Minister Netanyahu and his representatives? Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz and New York Rep. Lee Zeldin, also a Republican, asked Sec. of State John Kerry in a letter Thursday.
They asked “for information regarding media reports that U.S. taxpayer dollars are being used to fund efforts to influence upcoming elections in Israel.”
The Jewish Press reported here this week that non-profit and tax-exempt leftist groups are campaigning to dump Netanyahu.
Sen. Cruz asked:
This administrations relentless harassment of Israel is utterly incomprehensible. The Islamic Republic of Iran is pursuing the deadliest weapons on the planet, and there can be no doubt that their first target will be Israel, followed by the United States. This administration should be focusing its animosity on the very real enemies we face, not on our staunch allies.
Zeldin added, “It is completely unacceptable to use U.S. tax dollars to influence the elections in Israel. State Department grants should never be given to entities working to overthrow strong allies like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. We have great allies around the world, but Israel is our strongest, and a beacon of freedom in a region filled with radical Islamic extremists and state sponsored terrorism. Today, I join with Sen. Ted Cruz in calling for a U.S. Department of State investigation into this important matter.
Sen. Cruz and Rep. Zeldin request asked Kerry to answer eight questions:
How much funding has the U.S. Government provided to OneVoice, PeaceWorks Network Foundation, and any connected initiatives, projects or subsidiaries?
Who approved providing such funds?
What is the oversight and accounting process for how these funds are being spent?
How often and on what dates has such funding been provided?
What were the specific reasons and terms for providing funds, and how are these funds specifically being spent?
Can the Department of State guarantee that none of these funds have been or will be used in the endeavor detailed above, namely the partnership with V15, or any similar effort to exert undue influence over the Israeli political process?
Was there any knowledge from the State Department or other U.S. government officials of the partnership with V15 prior to providing funds to OneVoice?
Does OneVoices work with V15 violate its 501(c)(3) status (or the status of the PeaceWorks Network Foundation) as a tax-exempt organization and should such status be revoked?
In the letter, Cruz and Zeldin wrote, Of course private American citizens are free to engage in political activities according to their inclinations, but given the overtly partisan nature of this particular case, we are deeply concerned by the relationship that also exists between OneVoice and the U.S.

What’s the use of asking? $H!TFACE will just deny it. Look at his ideology - deep hatred for Judaism.
Does a bear shit in the woods?
and a deep love for islam this magic negro fag has.
This is completely within the Team Obama International M.O. The MSM looked the other way in 2006 when Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. (or II) then the Jr. Senator for IL, ran a multi-million-dollar campaign in the US to raise money in support of Raila Odinga, the DDR-trained Marxist, "Jihadist," SOB who was running for President of Kenya.
Obama raised millions (through Soros) and then actually went himself, with The Dick, Morris, to Kenya to stump for Odinga, whom he claims as a cousin. O BTW, it is clearly illegal for elected American officials to independently take part in, or support foreign political campaigns.
Odinga's "platform" endorsed by Obama, was breakaway autonomous Muslim Provinces under Sharia Law, expulsion of Christians from those areas, expulsion of missionaries from all of Kenya, expulsion of Christians from the government, and expropriation of Christian-owned land in Muslim areas.
When Odinga lost that internationally monitored election, he and his followers began a campaign of terrorism that completely destabilized Kenya. They drove Christians from their farms, causing a nation-wide famine. Some 3 Thousand Christians were massacred, some burned alive in their churches, beaten or slashed to death, or "necklaced" with gasoline-filled tires.
As Odinga and his Muslims threatened all-out civil war. As the massacres continued, Team Obama then began an international campaign with the UN (Soros) and our DoS, to push for a power-sharing arrangement, forcing the legitimately elected government of Kenya to eventually name Odinga as Prime Minister. Odinga runs the country today.
The financial arrangements for all these machinations are quite interesting. The Clinton Foundation bankrolled a great deal of Obama's operations, on pass-through payments from various Soros-controlled fronts. Odinga was an honored, but completely un-reported guest at Obamas first inauguration.
The BBC did yeoman work in reporting this, including filmed reports. But all went silent in the US. Including "Right Wing Talk Radio," with the exception of G. Gordon Liddy.
Today, the entire episode seems forgotten and the man linked to the massacre of Christians is our POTUS in his 2d term, emboldened to support Muslim terror wherever he thinks fit.
Kenny running his Kenya story again Ping.
He’s gotten by with it before and really believes he’s above the law!
BUMP to post #11
Yes, he is. Not that the msm will report it.
Lay the boots to Kerry , Ted. On the other side of the pond, Bibi should be locking them up and packing them off to Gaza where they belong.
