The Real Politics of Israel Part 2: The Deep State Coup
[PJMedia] We are all familiar with the many attempted coups against President Trump by a Deep State comprising babus bureaucrats, media, and corrupt judges more attached to their political ideology than to justice. Part of what led to these attempts at removing President Trump, including liquidation attempts, were the "demonstrations": BLM, trans-ideology, and any leftist cause that could be used to coalesce the left and create "demonstrations" against the president. Demonstrations that were then used by the media to create a propaganda myth that the nation was against him; and then the propaganda led to more well-funded demonstrations, and the spiral increased to a chaotic frenzy.

Israel mirrors the United States in this dangerous alliance of a Deep State comprising media, judges, and politicians. And again, just like in the United States, this alliance is joined by well-financed "activists" and demonstrators.

In July of 2023, I was in Israel with my family and saw many of these "demonstrations" against Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. These were all well-organized, choreographed, well-produced, and well-financed events, complete with expensive sound systems, food and drinks, and large flags and umbrellas provided to everyone. They looked like BLM 2.0. Moreover, they would begin and end exactly on time, as if on a perfect schedule. As a graduate of UC Berkeley, I have been part of many organic demonstrations, and not one ever started exactly at 10:00 p.m. and ended exactly at 10:30 p.m. on the dot. Tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars of swag were given out to these "activists" in the form of large flags ($40-50 a piece) and umbrellas ($20-40 per umbrella), and complete meals were provided. Nearly all of the demonstrators I spoke with did not live in Israel, but had come over from the United States specifically for the purpose of protesting.
Americans? I’d missed that interesting datum…
Where did the money come for this? It is still unclear, but we do know that 230 million dollars was given to "pro-Paleostinian causes" last year by USAID. A Senate investigation found that in 2015, the Obama Administration sent over $350,000 of taxpayer money to support the election of Netanyahu's opponent.
That was a US State Department spend, as I recall, along with the donation of Democratic Party consultants to help organize the V15 campaign.
Wherever it comes from, be it USAID or George Soros
...either Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Auric Goldfinger come true. Maybe both....
Was Soros involved, too? I seem to recall that the Progressive billionaire entrepreneur funding this stuff was the brilliant Mexican-American Daniel Lubetzky, founder of Kind Snacks and the international “grassroots” OneVoice Movement that was intended at the beginning of the millennium to amplify moderate pro-peace Arab and Israeli voices, but became a tool of the political left
these demonstrations are well-funded events designed to further leftist causes and hurt Netanyahu as Israel's leader. And what came out of these demonstrations? Fake news in American and Israeli media about how Israel is divided, how it hates Netanyahu, and how horrible and corrupt a human being he is.

The attacks on Netanyahu are direct reflections of what President Trump experienced both during his first term and his candidacy.

In the midst of these Deep State attempts to have a coup against Netanyahu, October 7 happened. Israel's very existence was threatened, and President Biden and both the American and Israeli Deep States used it as an opportunity to try to remove Netanyahu and place themselves in control of the policies of the region. Like his predecessor Obama, Biden said that he supported Israel while simultaneously cutting off their weapons supply, supporting Hamas
..always the voice of sweet reason...
and Iran, and actively undermining Netanyahu. The anti-Netanyahu demonstrations shifted from being about the courts, to being about the hostages Hamas kidnapped. Mainstream media both in the United States and in Israel have, for over 17 months, tried to describe Israel as a nation that believes that Netanyahu is wrong in his actions, and that he desires to kill the hostages for his own political gain.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Netanyahu, who has over 40 years of experience with terrorism and hostage issues, especially with Islamic bully boys, has worked every hour to try and simultaneously redeem the hostages and protect the nation — two goals that from the beginning have probably been mutually exclusive. Hamas only responds to violence, and kidnapped the hostages originally with the intent of using them as leverage chips against Israel. But Netanyahu has been trying to rescue every hostage possible in any way possible, while still preserving the safety of Israel. The vast majority of Israeli citizens agree with what he has done, although that certainly is not what the mainstream media in Israel or the United States portrays.

Both in Israel and America, headlines talk about Israel being close to a civil war. The media claims that thousands of people are demonstrating to stop any military action against Hamas, and to do anything necessary to redeem the hostages, even though Hamas has broken every hostage deal. But that portrayal is only part of a picture, and certainly not the whole truth of what is happening in Israel.

Judaism values every individual soul, and has always been committed to trying to get each hostage home to their family. Every family that has someone who is still being held in captivity is praying for their release, and is willing to do anything in order to achieve that. But the majority of Israelis recognize that they are unlikely to see many more living hostages released, and every Israeli is aware that over 800 IDF soldiers have already died in this war. Netanyahu has been trying to walk a razor's edge in getting as many hostages back as possible while still keeping Israel safe. With Trump’s support, that is now much easier as both nations are allied against Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
and its proxies of Hamas, the Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
s, and Hezbollah.

As Israel starts to take the action, with Trump's support, of destroying Hamas, the Deep State is pressing even harder to get rid of Netanyahu in any way they can... just like they tried with Trump. They have tried to remove Netanyahu using the court system as leverage; they have tried using the war as leverage; they have tried using his relationship with Trump as leverage; and, most recently, they are trying to use his firing of the head of the Shin Bet as leverage.

Ronen Bar, head of the Israeli internal security force Shin Bet, is recognized as someone who has always been against Netanyahu, and who is at least partially personally responsible for the failure in Israeli security to prevent the tragedies of October 7. Netanyahu and the Israeli cabinet voted unanimously on March 21 to remove Bar as the head of the agency. But the Deep State is again attempting to use this as a weapon against Netanyahu. The majority of Israelis have wanted Bar removed for a while, but the media makes claims that it is illegal, even though the minister and cabinet all voted for it. Some of the High Court judges are making media appearances and claiming that only they have the right to judge this head of security. These High Court judges are attempting to not only hold off Bar’s dismissal, but to prevent a new head from being appointed... even though Israel is in the midst of war. Newspapers in both America and Israel are claiming that thousands of people are organically demonstrating against Netanyahu because of the firing of Bar, and that a civil war is brewing.

None of this is true. Like the earlier demonstrations, these too are not happening organically, but are well-funded and well-produced events. The choice of hiring and firing a Shin Bet security chief is and has always been in the hands of the prime minister and cabinet. The alliance that is the Deep State is again trying to create a coup over a duly elected official. Just like in the United States, fake news is released as truth, and the News Agency that Dare Not be Named uses incendiary phrases against Netanyahu and claims Netanyahu is starting an uproar in Israel, while at the same time complaining of Israeli aggression for destroying a Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
