Globes Israel - "Did Adelson engineer Obama-Netanyahu crisis?"

[TomCADem]

Interesting take from an Israeli newspaper regarding Sheldon Adelson, Mitt Romney and Netanyahu.

http://www.globes.co.il/serveen/globes/docview.asp?did=1000784906&fid=4111

Fact: Adelson is the biggest patron of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (and of his family). Adelson believes that Netanyahu's leadership is essential for the existence of the Jewish people. He does not merely think this; he acts on it. Donations? That's obvious. But he does for Netanyahu something that no other rich man has probably ever done for the candidate he supports: Adelson established a newspaper for Netanyahu (and his family). Adelson bought journalists to write only praise for the prime minister (and his family); journalists, who after all of Netanyahu's talk, "explain" how right he is. Journalists who cannot, in other words do not dare, find any flaw in Netanyahu's deeds and decisions. Nothing.

The newspaper "Adelson (Israel) Today" has a very large circulation, not because of its quality, of which it has none, but because it is free; a free newspaper. Now "Adelson pays". Huge sums; and I write as a man who knows how much money a newspaper consumes. But "Adelson Pays" and pays, and pays. For Netanyahu (and his family).

Fact: Let us get back to Romney. A remark or hint by Netanyahu that Obama is bad for Israel is worth something to Romney… maybe the presidency. Repeated hints that Obama will do nothing about Iran, or that "Hillary Clinton is expediting the centrifuges" - their value to Romney in gold cannot be estimated. A serious crisis with the Americans and confrontations with their officials sends a message: Obama is bad - and not just for the Jews. For humanity. For the universe. He is a dangerous man. He is firing up the centrifuges. He is bringing closer a nuclear Holocaust on Israel, and maybe on America, too.

The conclusion: Vote for Romney, just like Adelson wants.

1. There is something to be said for free newspapers

they often contain information that is worth exactly what you paid for it.

2. "Did Adelson engineer Obama-Netanyahu crisis?"

Is the Pope a Roman Catholic?

3. Did he engineer anything else?

5. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?'

Nothing would surprise me regarding these thugs. I'm bothered by this thug who made this anti-Muslim movie. I fin't know a lot of meth heads and financial-fraud felons who are also radical Christians

Something doesn't jive.

4. It has been very obvious...

...for some time that Netanyahu was trying to make Obama look weak. He's been bad-mouthing Obama and forcing the Iran issue.

The neocons and Israel want their precious war with Iran. They're pressuring Obsma for assurances, because as we all know, if you want to be supported for president, you must kow tow to Israel and their every wish.

I'm proud of Obama. He's not meeting with Netanyahu when he'll be in the US. Obama refuses to bang the neocon war drum. Can you imagine the pressure put on Obama?? He's a hero for rebuffing their dsigusting wars.

6. This bullshit is peddled by the right and the left, but it is still nothing more than BULLSHIT.

Small minds.

8. What's BS, The Idea That Adelson Is Trying To Influence Election?

Or, that Adelson owns an Israeli paper that is used to prop up Netenyahu.

[Behind the Aegis]

10. Yeah, that's it.

No, the BS is the bullshit that keeps being peddled by the right and the left that this shit will some how influence us "dirty Jews." Doesn't matter we are traditionally democrats, doesn't matter our numbers show our support is hire than almost every other group...oh no, we are all influenced by Israel and Netenyahu because we are blindly loyal (see the post above) to a country other than our own! THAT is the BS to which I refer.

11. Thanks for clarifying. You've been REALLY unclear on this

in a couple of threads now. Thank you, I can now say that I agree wholeheartedly with your frustration.

I'm going to edit my post above because I don't want that to be taken out of context post-clarification and a pointless dispute continued.

7. Many of us have been saying this. There are TOO many coincidences...

from Cheney coming out of hiding on 9/11 to criticize the President for not supposedly attending security briefings, to the off-the-rails tweets by the RNC and Palin, and the ill advised press conference that Romney did.

ALL of this was pre-ordained. I'm convinced of it. All of it.... This was their plan. They cannot win on their ideas. their candidate is a pet rock covered in pond scum, so they have to go back to FEAR FEAR FEAR, and the notion that the President isn't up to the job.

Adelson is a threat to our democracy. Makes you wonder about the right wing side of the Supreme Court and their recent ruling.
