Sources in the Israeli government claim the White House tried to influence the recent election because it wanted “revenge” against Benjamin Netanyahu.
“The White House is driven by three main motives,” an unnamed senior official told the Times of Israel. “The first is revenge. 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 is the administration’s attempt to divert attention from the negotiations with Iran to the Palestinian issue.”
The source was likely referring to the group V15 which ran a get-out-the-vote campaign designed to push Netanyahu out of office. V15 was connected to the One Voice movement, which seeks a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The State Department reportedly gave several hundred thousands dollars to One Voice. V15 also hired a former Obama campaign strategist to run it’s campaign.
The accusation is just the latest retort in an escalating war of words between Washington and Jerusalem. Monday evening the Wall Street Journal published an article claiming Israel had spied on negotiations between the U.S. and Iran. The article makes clear the U.S. learned of Israel’s behavior by intercepting communications between Israeli officials. In other words, U.S. spies caught Israeli spies spying.

Go CRUZ!
In the photo at the link, the look Bibi is giving Obama tells the story.
FUBO, ditto.
God bless and keep Benjamin Netanyahu, the Leader of the Free World.
Yup.
The fact that such a statement is still considered fringe is astonishing to me. Obama is clearly motivated by a hatred of the west, and makes no attempts to hide it in his actions.

But isn’t revenge a petty, mean, squalid motive, unworthy of the leader of the free world? Answered my own question, didn’t I.
What if? No question about it. Unfortunately too many remain in denial of the obvious facts. This man has inflicted more damage to our country than all the previous administrations combined. He will never face charges of treason because of his color, and the money paid to cover the truth.
