duty to support our ally. He was gracious and deferential to a man who has constantly tried to undermine him and his fight to protect Israel from enemies who want to destroy her.
In a way, he was talking to himself during that part of the speech. Obama did not attend, citing the American custom of not meeting with foreign heads of state so close to an election.
What hypocrisy. Weeks before the story broke, I warned my radio listeners on
The Savage Nation
that Obama had sent hundreds of operatives to Israel to try to undermine Netanyahu and the Likud Party in the Israeli election. We’re supposed to believe it was a mere coincidence that tens of thousands of Israelis organized and called for Netanyahu’s replacement just four days after his speech. 12
Sure enough, barely a week after the protest, Fox News broke the story that a bipartisan commission was investigatingwhether the Obama administration was funding efforts to oust Netanyahu. 13
He did more than fund those efforts. The president of the United States sent approximately two hundred fanatical left-wing street operatives, including one Jeremy Bird, who ran Obama’s 2008 campaign with an iron fist, to try to overthrow Netanyahu. They failed.
This election was almost as significant for Americans as it was for Israel. If you analyze it, several things jump out at you.
First, the bias of the media was so overwhelming against Netanyahu that it was beyond an embarrassment. It was a joke, a laugh line. We know the media is all anti-American, all anti-Israel, all of the time. We know they’re antinationalists. The media is comprised of overeducated and underlearned people who believe they’re not citizens of America, or any other nation, but citizens of the world.
Barack Hussein Obama thinks the same way. Before he became president, he went to Berlin, and in that memorable, meaningless speech, the president of the United States called himself a “citizen of the world.” Boy, did he ever mean it. It may have been the one and only thing he said that day that he truly meant. He certainly isn’t at heart a citizen of the United States.
So, the Israeli election was to some extent about Obama. People ask me, “Are you happy that Netanyahu won?” I say, “Well, the real story is that Obama lost.” He spent all of his powers trying to defeat Netanyahu short of going to war with Israel and he lost.
Those of you who are religious were celebrating and saying it was God’s hand that gave Netanyahu victory. That’s one way to look at it.
I’m more of a pragmatist than I am a religionist. Pragmatically speaking, the Jews in Israel know their backs are against the wall. They know what an existential threat to their survival means. Americans don’t really know what it means because they live in a dream world.
I don’t blame them for that. Who wants to walk around agitated twenty-four hours a day over what might be tomorrow when they can enjoy today? Very few. Those of us who do it for a living have to do it. We are hired to do it. We are hired to be the seers, and we see what’s coming in this country.
Obama’s attempt to manipulate the Israeli elections failed, but it was par for the course. He consistently attacks our allies and panders to our enemies, always leading the world toward greater instability. Obama wanted more socialist leadership in Israel. That would have made Israel easier to manipulate into accepting a Palestinian state, based on indefensible Israeli borders.
That would have furthered the progressive dream of one multicultural, socialist world order, but it is not in the best interests of the American people, any more than for the Israeli people. America’s interests are best served by a strong Israel, as the bulwark of democracy and freedom in a region increasingly dominated by tyranny and ninth-century theocracy.
Obama’s meddling in the Israeli elections was the Arab Spring strategy all over again. Remember how that started, with those
