Obama set on obstructing Netanyahu's re-election - http://www.debka.com/article/24283/Obama-set-on-obstructing-Netanyahu's-re-election
This decision reverberated through Future party leader Yair Lapid's assertion Wednesday night, Dec. 3, after he was sacked as finance minister, that Binyamin Netanyahu would not be next prime minister. He laid claim to the premiership himself.
The Obama administration has maintained close ties with Lapid during the foreshortened 22 month-life of the departing Israeli government.
The White House is still working on a detailed plan of action, but has lost no time in setting up appointments for the president to receive heads of the parties sworn to overthrow Netanyahu - among others, ex-minister Lapid, opposition leader Yitzhak Herzog of Labor and Tzipi Livni (The Movement), who was fired this week as Justice Minister along with Lapid.
They will be accorded attractive photo-ops with Obama and joint communiqués designed to signify to the Israeli voter that the US president would favor their election to the future government and the country as a whole would gain tangibly from a different government to the incumbent one.
This White House campaign would be accompanied by leaks from Washington for putting Netanyahu and his policies in a derogatory light. Messages to this effect were transmitted to a number of serving political figures as an incentive to jump the Likud-led ship to opposition ranks. The US administration has begun hinting that it may emulate the Europeans by turning the screws on Israel as punishment for the prime minister's signature policy of developing West Bank and Jerusalem development construction.
Accounts reaching debkafile speak of an outburst of joy in the White House over news of the Netanyahu government's breakup. It was seen as an opportunity to finally get rid of Binyamin Netanyahu and a golden opportunity to bring Israel back to negotiations with the Palestinians with the Obama administration finally chalking up a success.
At the same time, some senior sources in the US capital confided to debkafile that administration joy over political developments in Israel could quickly prove premature - either in view of another round of violence overtaking the Middle East, or by once again misreading Israel's political map before stepping in and so failing in its object. But for now the circles around the US president are "highly optimistic" about their chances of forcing Netanyahu's exit, comparing them to the former success of the first President George Bush in forcing the ouster of the late Yitzhak Shamir as Israeli prime minister in the 90s.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday night, Dec. 3, US Congress passed the US.-Israel Strategic Partnership Act that raises by $200 million the value of emergency US weapons stocked in Israel to a total of $1.8 billion, and guarantees Israel's qualitative military edge over its neighbors and foes. The motion, passed by a voice vote in the House after clearing the Senate unanimously last September, also promotes closer links in energy, water, homeland security, alternative fuel technology and cyber-security. The bill now goes to President Obama for his signature.
To survive, we must... - Bill Wilson - www.dailyjot.com
On October 29, 1941, a year after one of the darkest hours of World War II for Great Britain, Prime Minister Winston Churchill addressed his alma mater Harrow School. Here emerged one of the most famous quotes (which oft has been misquoted): "Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never-in nothing, great or small, large or petty-never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy." This quote will hopefully embolden you, encourage you, strengthen you as it did to Brits and their allies as they fought one of the gravest evils to darken the steps of mankind. We have a similar fight ahead.
This nation suffers a character crisis. The preaching of an extra-biblical, emotional, and self-indulgent gospel from the pulpit, and parenting children without morality and character has allowed this nation over the years to fall into a morass. We step up to do what we can; what we think is the best, but little changes. Even to the point of the last election--throwing out some of the trouble. Now we have a majority of people who claim they will turn things around. But, unfortunately, there are many of them who have been brought up in the same manner that is a reflection of what is not right about our country. So accountability must be held by each of us--we must never, never, never give in.
I visited the Senate to sit in on a hearing about sports and domestic violence. What little confidence I had in our elected leaders was even less after the hearing. These senators were ill-prepared and lacked understanding of not only the issue, but business and employment in general. While they were short on understanding, they were long on grandstanding. This was not a partisan characteristic. Senators from both sides were demanding that corporations pay for government programs to end domestic violence--programs with no proven track record. It seemed to me that domestic violence, which is a complex issue, was being boiled down to a very simple issue--shameless shakedown and wealth redistribution.
After promising to fight illegal alien amnesty, Speaker of the House John Boehner wants to put only "symbolic" language disagreeing with the "president" into legislation. My several emails to "The Speaker" on this very subject resulted in an email asking me to follow him on social media, and another thanking me for my continued support. Congress is ignoring its Constitutional duties. For America to survive, which means for you to survive, we must instill accountability in our elected officials. We must not give in. Psalm 94:16-17 says, "Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? Unless the Lord had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence." Let us be silent no more. Let us be louder than those who usurp the will of the people and are drunk on their own power.
