Right Wing Israeli Leaders Meddling in US Politics, Targeting Democrats, Obama?
By Rob Kall
We know that AIPAC meddles in US policy, exerting huge influence on congress. I have no doubt that any member of congress who attacks US policy of blindly supporting Israel will be targeted to be primaried. Could it get any worse? Maybe it can. Maybe Israeli leaders are literally taking actions, talking war, operating a playbook with the intention of influencing the 2012 presidential elections.

We know that AIPAC meddles in US policy, exerting huge influence on congress.To put it bluntly, it's not so much the regime in Tehran that Netanyahu is keen to destabilize as the one in Washington. The question now is how far he's willing to take it.
But when articles invoking the Holocaust and urging "creative destruction" in Iran appear on the same day (Feb. 7) in the Washington Post , Wall Street Journal , Newsweek and Bloomberg News , a skeptical observer might be forgiven for suspecting a well-coordinated propaganda campaign.
Writing in Beirut-based Al-Akhbar, American journalist Max Blumenthal dates its inception to a Jan. 3 article in Israel Hayom revealing that Israel's National Security Council -- basically Netanyahu's closest political allies -- had concluded that "U.S. President Barack Obama is "naive'" and fails to understand Israel's precarious position. Deemed a Likud Party organ, the newspaper is owned by multibillionaire Las Vegas casino tycoon Sheldon Adelson, who bankrolls Netanyahu and serves as Newt Gingrich's Sugar Daddy too.
Netanyahu appears to see an Obama second term as an impediment to further Israeli expansion into the West Bank -- or "Judea" and "Samaria," as Likudniks style it -- and has cast his lot with the Republican right. He's made public appearances with notables like Glenn Beck and "End Times" evangelist John Hagee. Adelson himself has pledged his vast resources to Obama's defeat.
