So let me get this straight. The NSA catches a FOREIGN GOVERNMENT trying to influence policy, and the policy makers who get caught working with them are whining.

It's like a politican whining about intrusive government w hen he get caught in a whorehouse raid.

OBAMA'S MOST COVERT WAR

The administration believes it is at war with Israel -- not a shooting war, but a political war.

Over the past several weeks, we have learned that the Obama administration believes it is at war with Israel. The war is not a shooting war, but a political war. Its goal is to bring the government to its knees to the point where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu loses power or begs Obama and his advisers to shepherd Israel through a “peace process” in which Israel will renounce its rights to Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria.

One component of this war is espionage. Last month The Wall Street Journal reported that Israel is a top target for American espionage.

The other component of the administration’s war against Israel is political subversion. Over the past week, the administration has campaigned against the NGO bill sponsored by Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked. If the bill, which was approved by the government, becomes law, it will require political NGOs that are principally financed by foreign governments to identify as foreign agents in their official communications and interactions.

Last week, State Department spokesman James Kirby lambasted the bill at an official briefing. Among other things, Kirby rejected Shaked’s claim that her bill is less restrictive than the US’s own Foreign Agents Registration Act. Kirby offered no substantiation of his claim.

Earlier this week, US Ambassador Dan Shapiro met with Shaked. Following their meeting, the US Embassy published two statements attacking the NGO law. In one of them, the embassy sought to substantiate Kirby’s claim regarding FARA. By the embassy’s telling, FARA relates only to agents whose action are directly guided by foreign governments, while Shaked’s NGO bill relates to entities that receive financing from foreign governments whether or not their actions are directed by the government financiers.

The embassy’s claim is deeply misleading.

As attorney Lorri Lowenthal Marcus explained this week in The Jewish Press, in practice, the burden of proof that US entities are not directed by foreign governments that fund them falls on the entities, not on the US government. In her words, the US law “uses ambiguous words and tests which are far more likely to lead to over-broad applications and chilling of speech than does the straightforward Israeli proposal’s standard.”

Moreover, whereas Shaked’s proposed NGO law would fine entities that fail to abide by reporting restrictions, under FARA, US entities that fail to abide by the restrictions of the law can face both fines and up to five years in prison.

The duplicitous nature of the administration’s assault on Shaked’s bill is all the more obvious when we consider how senior US officials view these politicized organizations.

Currently, the State Department is slowly fulfilling a federal court order to publish the emails Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton sent from her private email server during her tenure as secretary of state. Over the past several weeks, the department has published a number of emails regarding Israel that reveal the depth of hostility Clinton’s closest advisers harbored toward Israel.

Last week, one such email demonstrated that Clinton’s senior anti-Israel advisers viewed radical Israeli-registered NGOs as agents for the administration to use in order to carry out covert anti-Israel policies.

The email in question is a letter Clinton received in December 2011 from retired ambassador Thomas Pickering. Clinton asked her chief of staff to print out his letter.

Pickering’s illustrious career reached its peak during Bill Clinton’s administration. Clinton’s husband appointed Pickering, a former ambassador to Israel, to serve as undersecretary of state for policy planning, the third-most senior position at the State Department.

Pickering retired in 2001, at the end of the Clinton years. Since retiring, he has enjoyed the status of elder statesman among the American foreign policy elite. He has also been a loyal supporter and lobbyist for Iran, and a signatory on numerous plans to stick it to Israel.

In his letter to Clinton, Pickering recommended using leftist NGOs – including Peace Now, which he mentioned by name – to destabilize the political situation on the ground in Israel.

Pickering set out a plan, which in his view would force Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to ask the Americans to initiate a new diplomatic process with the Palestinians.

Pickering’s plan involved organizing a protest movement of Palestinian and Israeli women to “bring continuing pressure to change minds at the top.”

On the Palestinian side, Pickering said, “there might be peaceful demonstrations against all aspects of the occupation on the Palestinian sides – roadblocks, land confiscations, new settlement activity, around military government installations and perhaps in Area C, which they do not control.”

These actions Pickering wrote, “could create the kind of action which no army can easily use force to deal with.... With all and only women demonstrating peacefully under the eyes of the world, the chances are much less force will be used against them, since that action has its own consequences.”

In other words, Pickering sought to organize provocations of IDF units “under the eyes of the world,” in which IDF soldiers would be portrayed as being mean to Palestinian women. These women for their part would provoke them to be mean by interfering with military operations or disrupting the lives of Israeli citizens in Judea and Samaria.

Pickering made no bones about the covert nature of this US anti-Israel subversion. He warned Clinton, “Most of all the United States, in my view, cannot be seen to have stimulated encouraged or be the power behind it for reasons you will understand better than anyone.

“I believe third parties and a number of NGOs on both sides would help.”

That is, Clinton’s confidante, the elder statesman who organized a lobby on behalf of Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran, called for the secretary of state to use radical Israeli NGOs as US agents to carry out a covert US operation against an allied government.

A notable aspect of Pickering’s plan is his underlying assumption that the US-organized demonstrations would be filmed and used against Israel in the court of public opinion.

For the past several years, the US government has funded B’Tselem’s video project.

...
But Ach explains, what Ad Kan has revealed to date is merely the tip of the iceberg.

And so, as the Obama administration ratchets up its political war against Israel in its final year in office, we can expect to learn that like the administration itself, the NGOs the administration is so concerned about protecting have and will stop at nothing to achieve their goal of demonizing Israel and destroying its good name in the Western world.

Obama’s “Shameful Betrayal” of Israel
Netanyahu calls it right.
December 28, 2016
Bruce Thornton

If any doubts remained about Obama’s malignant narcissism, historical ignorance, and geopolitical cretinism, the lame-duck-in-chief dispelled them with his abstention at the Security Council vote on a resolution slandering Israeli “settlements” as the foremost obstacle to peace. Undoing this despicable abandonment of a crucial ally should shoot to the top of incoming president Donald Trump’s to-do list.

...

In reality, the legitimacy of American actions is conferred by the democratic process: the free, open debate on the part of citizens who can hold their leaders accountable and have a sense of the ideals and principles that animate our foreign policy and provide its goals. Subjecting those decisions to the corrupt deliberations of the U.N. often compromises our own interests and endangers our national security.

So punish the U.N. for damaging our ally, then start the process of getting out by withholding our dues. That will get the world’s attention and, like the thought of being hanged in a fortnight, concentrate their minds wonderfully.

We should cut Israel off and stop doing their bidding.

obama intends to war against Israel and the American people as well. He intends to leave office with his wars in Trump's lap.

Obama’s War on Israel

February 13, 2014 by Daniel Greenfield

If the left’s foreign policy these days had a slogan, it would be, “Boycott Israel, not Iran.” The double standard, dishonest as it is ugly, is also the motto of Obama’s foreign policy which benevolently blesses Iran’s nuclear program with one outstretched hand in the name of peace and chokes concessions out of Israel to the terrorists with the other also in the name of peace.

Both peace plans are going disastrously according to plan.

Iran has made it clear that it will dismantle nothing and that it will go on developing ballistic missiles and nuclear technology. Its military commanders threaten to attack the United States and boast that their ships are encroaching on America’s maritime borders.

...

Obama’s dual peace processes have the same agenda. They are both meant to destroy Israel. If the PLO can’t get the job done with intermittent terrorism and negotiations, maybe a nuclear Iran will. The goal is to create enough threats to Israel that it either ceases to be a viable state or simply ceases to exist.

The destruction of Israel flows naturally from the destruction of American power. Israel has to be undone, just as Mubarak was undone, just as the United States military was undone, to heal the humiliations of the Muslim world. The United States had to lose in Afghanistan and Iraq, it had to destroy its allies in the Middle East, to make Muslims feel good about finally defeating the United States.

Obama?s War on Israel | FrontPage Magazine

A war that`s long overdue.

 

[rhodescholar]

But he has attempted to, right? Nope.

A better question is why the scumbag fake president is so given to fucking over US allies like Israel, Saudi Arabia, Japan, etc., while enabling monstrosities like iran, assad, russia, etc. Given that the US spends hundreds of billions annually to feed, clothe, house, educate and medically care for illegal aliens, the $3 BBN going to Israel to help a democracy defend itself seems very much like money well spent.

 

[rhodescholar]

That in no way alludes to the money in military aid that US taxpayers pay to Israel.

It would be nice if low IQ critics like you actually had some facts before commenting.

 

[rhodescholar]

So? I wasn't asked to produce anything on military aid.

You're right, you posted that before I asked for that. It also doesn't show any hostility that Obama has towards Israel, quite the opposite I thought, he said he wants a rather lovely peace in the area. Just like George W Bush said before him, he said he wanted peace there as well.[/QUOTE]

To even begin to claim obama doesn't hate jews/Israel in late 2016 is totally hilarious. From his association and embracing of reverend Wright to the lunatic iran "deal" which devastates israel's security, his treatment of Netanyahu including funding the campaign against him in the last election, to the insane abstention on the UNSC 2334, his actions speak quite loudly. The world will be a far better place in a month.

 

[rhodescholar]

The last time Israel was attacked with it's pre 67 borders it saw the enemy off in less than a week. Not really that indefensible.

You must have forgotten the 1973 war, which it almost lost. You must also have neglected the million terrorist attacks and other wars, like 2006. Stop posting, you're proving yourself to be an imbecile on a topic you know nothing about.

 

[AmericanFirst1]

Obama can't cut the military aid to Israel without congressional approval, otherwise he would have cut it a long time ago.

But he has attempted to, right? Nope.

Why attempt something he has no chance of getting? He would only lose favor politically. If it were up to him we wouldn't be sending Israel any money.

If it were up to a lot of people we wouldn't be sending Israel money. It's time a sovereign country learned to stand on it's own two feet.

As far as Obama goes, this idea that he doesn't like Israel is a myth. There is no evidence to back it up, and Israel seems just as happy with this administration as any other. All they want is for the money and support to keep flowing.

But you support sending our money to countries like Iran who actually hate us? Israel is the only country we should be sending money to.

 

[rhodescholar]

It most certainly wasn't a hostile comment towards Israel as I saw it, it was a stance that Israel needs to start riding roughshod over UN resolutions and fulfil it's obligations to the UN as a responsible nation.

Sure, as soon as the arab muslims learn to accept the sovereign rights of other people, and their right to live in the mideast. The yazidis, coptics, maronites, assyrians, chaldeans, maneachans, azeri, bahai, and kurds know they don't, and I'll take their word 1,000 years before I accept a fool like yours.

Israel is well protected now and has been for quite sometime. So there's no need for them to rely on a bully like what's his name to lead their country into even more questionable wars.

 

[rhodescholar]

He supported international law,

What "international law", you fucking moron? There is no other instance in recorded history - EVER - of a nation being attacked, capturing land in a defensive war, and being forced to return it. There is no such law, and to the mentally balanced, will obviously never be. That such imaginary "law" only applies to the jews by morons like you and filth like obama and his scumbag Euro friends (pandering to their burgeoning muslim populations) is indicative of the malignant agendas at work.

and the UN, to say he took a stand against Israel is to take suggest that Israel is immune to the rulings of the laws that all other nations are judged by.

russia just walked in and stole crimea, half of Ukraine, and 1/4 of Georgia, yet I don't see morons like you or obama pressing for UNSC resolutions against them.

He also represents the people who pay for over half of their armed forces, he has a right to his say in their affairs.

"Pays for over 1/2 their armed forces"? Are you fucking retarded? ISRAEL DOES NOT WANT YOUR MONEY. How many fucking threads do I need to say this in?

He took no stance against Palestine as they have no powers to affect anything, its is a broken land full of powerless people whose one act of rebellion is occasionally throwing over a chinese made firework ...

Once I hit that point, I realized what type of scumbag I was dealing with. Go back to stormfront and 972, you fucking yellow lackey piece of shit. Fuck off and die.

 

[rhodescholar]

What other allies are there, other than Israel, who really need an alliance with the US militarily?

Has this retarded asshole ever heard of NATO? Why was this person allowed to join this forum, even admittedly with its very low entrance requirements?

 

[rhodescholar]

Good, that squatter nation needs to be pushed back into the sea, where it belongs.

Was about to hammer this POS into the dirt where it belongs, but saw it was banned. So the morning coffee tasted a lot better with the foul shit being swept off the internet.
