The current story in the Wall Street Journal (Israel Spied on Iran Nuclear Talks With U.S. By ADAM ENTOUS -see below) alleging Israeli spying on the nuclear talks with the P5 +1 which is attributed to “unnamed, high-level, White House officials” is despicable. It is intended to further delegitimize Israel and justify the vendetta being conducted by  some of your staff and other White House political advisers against Israel in the guise of criticizing Prime Minister Netanyahu.

1st, it  is absolutely  correct that the United States spends an inordinate amount of intelligence resources spying on Israel. This spying  is  “justified” by these unnamed officials as being required to push back against Israeli spying on United States. You and I both know that this is completely false. Recently Israel clandestinely struck at Hezbollah missiles being transported from Syria to Hezbollah while these missiles were in Syrian territory. The Israelis did not acknowledge the strike. The Syrians did not acknowledge the strike. US intelligence leaked the fact of the strike in order to embarrass the Syrians into taking actions against Israel. Another example, Israel obtained landing rights in a predominantly Muslim country. This was leaked by the US. There are many other examples of which both you and I are well aware.

Obama is simply using the Netanyahu’s re-election as an excuse to execute one of his cherished goals.

By Rabbi Steven Pruzansky, INN

POTUS (the President of the United States) is pouting over the re-election of PM Netanyahu. He withheld his congratulatory phone call to Netanyahu for two days. By comparison, Obama called Iran’s Rouhani immediately, perhaps even before the polls closed. Netanyahu received the al-Sisi treatment, another leader who is disfavored by the White House and received the two-day delayed phone call.

There is something perversely delightful in observing the irrational anger in the administration and among Jews on the far left of the political spectrum on Israel’s election results. Granted, millions of dollars were wasted trying to unseat Netanyahu and augment the vote the Israeli Arabs – some of that, disgracefully, US taxpayer dollars. Watching another’s tantrum is often amusing and it doesn’t seem to abate. The commentators and activists who hide their anti-Israel animus behind their Jewish genes – the Friedman’s, Klein’s and J Street’s of the world – are nearly apoplectic.

The “center”, the Left and the media do not stop preaching to us that it is impossible to stop the establishment of a Palestinian state in the heart of our Land, at a distance of a few kilometers from our homes, our cities, from the Knesset, and from essential and strategic
installations.

Those who call for the establishment of such a state, which, everyone knows, would become a Hamas state, like in Gaza, are behaving like hysterics. The events in the Middle East and the world, as well as the presence on our borders of organizations supported by an Iran in the process of becoming nuclear, do not change their opinions. They just repeat the empty and illogical slogan that the establishment of that country – without admitting that it would be a Hamas state – is
the only way available for Israel. The people with delusions of peace try to relax us by saying that if it becomes clear that the experiment of a Palestinian state fails, we could, at any time, go in and “straighten things out”.

DEBKAfile Special Report March 24, 2015,

Yet another Obama administration thrust in its campaign to stigmatize Binyamin Netanyahu and the newly elected Israeli government came Tuesday, March 24, in the form of a pejorative leak to The Wall Street Journal.

“Israeli intelligence was eavesdropping on closed-door nuclear negotiations between Iran and the US and other world powers, then passing the classified information along to the US Congress to try and preemptively scuttle the deal, The WSJ reported, adding from its unnamed sources: “It’s one thing for the US and Israel to spy on each other. It is another thing for Israel to steal US secrets and play them back to US legislators to undermine US diplomacy.”

Citing the spy-versus-spy rivalry often operating behind the scenes of US-Israel relations, the paper reports that, in fact, the White House discovered Israel had an inside track on the talks by snooping on communications among Israeli officials.

BEWARE OF LEFTISTS

Former Minister of Education Shai Piron, with Yesh Atid, speaking at a conference at the Kibbutzim College, expressed his support to include the “Nakba” as part of the general Israeli educational curriculum, Army Radio reported. Piron said the quote in the report was taken from recordings of a conversation he had with teachers at bi-lingual school, who asked him his opinion in the matter.

Piron responded by saying that though the Nakba narrative should be taught to all Israeli students, the ‘settler narrative’ must be taught alongside it.

T. Belman. American Jews showed their disdain for Israel and Zionism when they voted twice for Obama. Now there are showing their disdain for democracy. But who cares.  They’ll be gone in two generations, by choice.

by Shmuel Rosner, JEWISH JOURNAL

This happens every time the Israeli electorate decides to elect a government that is right of center.

It happens every time an Israeli Prime Minister does something that does not bode well with the political affiliations of American Jews.

When Ariel Sharon was elected in 2002, The Guardian reported that “Sharon divides world’s Jews”. When PM Ehud Olmert visited President Bush in the White House in 2006, the Jewish Forward editorialized that “for American Jews, this was one visit by an Israeli prime minister that drove home the distance between the two great Jewish communities, not their closeness”.

Today, the electoral victory of Binyamin Netanyahu is igniting headlines and editorials with the same tone. Jews dislike the fact that he was elected, and they dislike his statements and actions. Once again, talk of “distance” is the talk of the Jewish town.

As parties gear up for coalition negotiations, they’re not only preparing to demand portfolios; there are policies they want to make sure the next government pushes forward.

Nearly all of the parties that recommended Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the president plan to ask that the coalition agree to pass certain laws, but what remains to be seen is how many of them will actually end up in the new government’s guidelines at the end of negotiations.

Bayit Yehudi MK Ayelet Shaked said Monday that her priority, policy-wise, is to pass legislation that would require any NGO that receives funding from a foreign country to get authorization from the Finance Ministry, Defense Ministry and Knesset Finance Committee to do so.

One of the great speeches of all time.

MR. PRESIDENT: It is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth — and listen to the song of that siren, till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those, who having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.

Mark Leven  knocked another one out of the park on today’s (Mon, 3/23) broadcast. He interviewed Stanley Kurtz regarding Obama’s long, pre-presidential history of Israel-hatred and pro-Palestinian activism & positioning.

The Stanley Kurtz interview begins at 57:44 — not to be missed.

There’s a good deal more of interest in that show as well.

The Mark Levin Show – Play Now

I started listening to this 2 hour show, expecting to listen for only a few minutes, and was so fascinated that I couldn’t stop listening until after Kurtz talked about Obama. Now I understand why his show is one of the most popular in America.

Netanyahu’s conservative Likud Party got its best numbers not in Jerusalem, where it only won a quarter of the vote, or Sderot, the city under siege where it still got less than half, or Maaleh Adumim, a city of some 40,000 known as a “settlement” because it is located in ’67 Israel where it also took less than half.

Its best numbers appear to have come from Arab-al-Naim, a Bedouin settlement, where it scored three-quarters of the vote.

The residents were uninterested in any of the accusations of racism being aimed at Netanyahu by the media. Instead they were interested in housing. As one resident put it, “I used to sleep in a cave with my goats. Now I ask my daughter what wallpaper she wants in her room.”

[..]
Yet what [Obama] failed to point out is that, around the world, segregation is making a comeback — including in the streets of Tunis, where the proponents of today’s segregation spilled blood last week.

Fifty years ago there were a host of legal impediments to equality between black and white Americans — just as there were in countries such as South Africa and Rhodesia. Today, a different group is the victim of comparable legal discrimination that imposes segregation on them and denies them equal civil and political rights. What is more, their number is vastly larger than the number that was affected 50 years ago by segregation and apartheid. And that number is growing, because, unlike in the 1960s Alabama, the prevalence of discriminatory legislation outside the liberal West is actually increasing.

The system of law I am talking about is sharia law, the body of legislation derived from the Qur’an, the Hadith, and the rest of Islamic jurisprudence. And the discriminated group I have in mind is women, though I could also reference Jews, Christians and gays.

One analyst is now using the language of Captain Ahab and the great white whale, from Herman Melville’s 1851 novel “Moby Dick,” to describe U.S. President Barack Obama’s obsessive pursuit of a nuclear agreement with Iran.

An alternate analysis might be Obama as Captain Queeg from the movie “The Caine Mutiny,” as he is currently displaying the same kind of paranoia seen in that erratic, vengeful captain. In Obama’s case, he appears to be motivated by a need to punish anyone who might interfere with his plans for securing a nuclear deal with Iran, whatever its terms, before he leaves office. Today, the list of enemies interfering with Obama’s plans includes U.S. Republicans, Israel and its Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

T. Belman. Caspit intimates that Bennett’s reforms undermine democracy. I think the opposite. He suggests that Kahlon and Rivlin will fight such reforms. He also prefers to bend to the will of the international community like Oren does. I think that being sovereign is more important than kissing up.

By Ben Caspit, al Monitor

The current estimate is that in just a few weeks, once he finishes putting his right-wing, ultra-Orthodox coalition together, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will call Zionist Camp leader Isaac Herzog, inviting him to join the coalition. He’ll offer a similar invitation to Yesh Atid head Yair Lapid, too. Netanyahu won’t be doing this out of love or admiration for Herzog or Lapid. He will have no choice.

Netanyahu’s fourth government, which he will be hard at work patching together over the next few weeks, will be the first in which he has no diplomatic “fig leaf” to mollify the international community in general and the Barack Obama administration in particular. His problem is that the chances of either Herzog or Lapid responding positively to his call tend toward zero. They’ll let him simmer in his own juices, become an outcast in the international community, plead like a pauper for every Security Council veto, and try to withstand the tsunami of ostracism and boycotts expected to rain down on him from Europe, all with the express approval of the United States.

First he comes for the banks and health care, uses the IRS to go after critics, politicizes the Justice Department, spies on journalists, tries to curb religious freedom, slashes the military, throws open the borders, doubles the debt and nationalizes the Internet.

He lies to the public, ignores the Constitution, inflames race relations and urges Latinos to punish Republican “enemies.” He abandons our ­allies, appeases tyrants, coddles ­adversaries and uses the Crusades as an excuse for inaction as Islamist terrorists slaughter their way across the Mideast.

Now he’s coming for Israel.

The moment has come to discuss facts and to talk about the nature of Israeli reality for what it is, instead of in the service of cheap, loud, and defective propaganda.

Through the 2015 election campaign, Yedioth Ahronoth and its various media tentacles attempted to brainwash the public. At any given moment, we were exposed to millions of hungry children, to a southern Israel plagued by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s policies, to the periphery suffering from battered-wife syndrome in its support of the Likud, to crumbling businesses, and to the economy being on the brink of collapse.

Every fleeting report by any research institute, including sometimes reports sponsored by foreign government with clear political agendas, received prominent coverage. Baseless theories, conjectures and arguments were presented as facts in dramatic headlines illustrating how terrible the situation here was, especially when it came to the economy.

BUT HERZOG TURNED HIM DOWN
In new government, Erdan designated for education, Katz – Housing, Akunis – communications

DEBKAfile Special Report March 23, 2015, 12:02 PM (IDT)

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu only waited for the March 17 election results before sending his close adviser Nathan Eshel to Zionist Union leader Yitzhak Herzog with an invitation to join him in a new unity government headed by the two largest parties of which they are leaders. Herzog turned him down and preferred to remain leader of the oppositon.

The invitation was proffered notwithstanding Netanyahu’s campaign vow not to share power with the left-leading Zionist Union, and showed him to be pragmatic enough to duck and weave when he finds it opportune.

He displayed the same equivocation on the Palestinian state issue.

While running for election, he declared that a Palestinian state would not rise on his watch. But then, when Washington turned on the heat, he explained that his fundamental support for two states had not changes but the circumstances had. In other words, the prime minister left the door ajar.

Right out of the starting gate, Oren wants to cave to Obama’s demands. Unfortunately Kulanu hasn’t endorsed Bibi yet. With a peace position like this, he may as well be with Herzog.

By Gil Ronen, INN

MK-elect Michael Oren (Kulanu) reacted Sunday to statements by US President Barack Obama about an alleged erosion of Israel’s democratic nature, saying that they indicate “a strategic blow to Israel’s standing in the world.”

[..]

“The new government of Israel must, without delay, operate actively to rehabilitate the relationship with the US, to strengthen the military, intelligence and diplomatic cooperation, for the sake of the continued strategic friendship that is so vital for Israel.”

By Ted Belman

David Horowitz of the Times of Israel in his article “Ashamed of Netanyahu”, writes about Bibi’s Arab remark that everybody is beating Netanyahu up about,

“I’m ashamed of my prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, for the depths to which he stooped in maximizing his election victory. I’ve watched those 20 seconds of incendiary rhetoric he posted on election day over and over again: “The rule of the political right is in danger. The Arab voters are moving in vast numbers to the polling stations. The left-wing NGOs are busing them in…”

I am not ashamed. I see nothing inappropriate about this remark. Its like Republicans urging their fellows Republicans to get out the vote because the Democrats are going to great lengths to do so. What difference dose it make if in our case, its the Arabs that threaten our rule rather than the democrats.
