this article from The Hill for two reasons -- one, because it confirms something some of us suspected:
President Obama's role during the Israeli elections was larger than reported, according to a pollster for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party.
"What was not well reported in the American media is that President Obama and his allies were playing in the election to defeat Prime Minister Netanyahu," John McLaughlin, a Republican strategist, said in an interview on John Catsimatidis's "The Cats Roundtable" radio show broadcast Sunday on AM 970 in New York.
"There was money moving that included taxpayer U.S. dollars, through non-profit organizations. And there were various liberal groups in the United States that were raising millions to fund a campaign called V15 against Prime Minister Netanyahu," McLaughlin said.
That might be why Obama has been so angry about the result. I'd also like to get clarification about the taxpayer dollars, but that's a subject for another time. I do want to call attention to the head honcho for V15, however (emphasis mine):
After Netanyahu's win, V15 co-founder Nimrod Dweck said in an interview with Ronan Farrow aired on MSNBC's "Jose Diaz-Balart" that "not a single cent" of State Department or taxpayer money had gone to their campaign.
"These are false allegations and they have nothing to do with reality," Dweck said.
Always trust content from Nimrod Dweck.

Of course not a single cent has been spent on this. I'm interested, however, in how many thousands or millions of dollars have been illegally expended for this.
This is the United States. We don't influence foreign elections; we stage coups or invade.
LOL
City on a hill.
