Report: State Department Funding Anti-government Group in Israel
|
Hattip to Mad Eye Omeretch7959. I wondered if something like this was happening, because the protests are so like the insatiable anti-Trump protests during his term in office, but as up til now there was no evidence.... See here for the result of the US State Dept. investment.
The Washington Free Beacon reported Monday that U.S. taxpayer funds have been granted to the Movement for Quality Government (MQG), which has participated in the protests that have rocked Israel for weeks.
The protests began after Netanyahu, whose right-wing coalition won a commanding majority in recent elections, began tackling the decades-old problem of the judicial usurpation of power from the legislature.
The Israeli left has reacted in outrage — even calling Netanyahu’s legal, legitimate reforms a "coup" — because it has generally regarded the judiciary as a bastion of leftist ideology and secular values since the early 1990s.
In addition to blocking traffic, protesters have, at times, adopted more radical tactics, such as trapping a member of the legislature in her home — and, more recently, trapping Netanyahu’s wife, Sara, in a hair salon.

...knaves, footpads, and adjusters employed by the Biden Crime Family. They leave a trail of havoc everywhere they turn their attention, be it the nation's borders, the Keystone XL Pipeline, or epidemics, sometimes on purpose, most times through sheer arrogant ineptitude. They learnt this stuff in college, you know...
has suggested that it opposes the reforms, though many of the proposed changes simply parallel U.S. law. Left-wing Jewish groups in the U.S. have supported the ongoing protests as well.
Now, it emerges that The MQG has been receiving support directly from the State Department. The Free Beacon’s Adam Kredo reports:
The documents indicate that, since 2020, Foggy Bottom has sent over $38,000 to the Movement for Quality Government (MQG), the Israeli nonprofit stoking nationwide anti-Netanyahu protests that have seen protesters clash with police and target Netanyahu’s family members. MQG is seeking to takedown Netanyahu’s government over his support for major reforms to the Israeli supreme court that would significantly limit its power. The organization petitioned Israel’s Supreme Court
...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations...
earlier this year to oust Netanyahu, claiming he is unfit for office due to ongoing investigations into allegations of political corruption and bribery.
The State Department, which confirmed the funding, calls the group a nonpartisan organization, but its work opposing Netanyahu raises questions about how the group was able to obtain U.S. funding. The United States typically avoids funding foreign partisan groups to avoid claims of political meddling. Even before MQG emerged as the leading force behind the current wave of anti-Netanyahu protests, it made a name for itself as a leading critic of the Israeli right, which has long seen Netanyahu as its leader. Given the Biden administration’s chilly diplomatic relationship with Netanyahu—which includes repeated criticism of Israeli settlement construction and the decision to launch an unprecedented FBI

probe into Israel’s anti-terrorism operations—the U.S. funding to MQG has come under new scrutiny.
The B.O. regime was also thought to have interfered in Israeli politics, using State Department funding through a group called V15 in a failed effort to defeat Netanyahu in 2015.
The NGO V15, short for Victory 15 — the anti-Netanyahu get-out-the-vote effort — is merely the most recent false-nose-and-mustache of the international leftwing anti-Israel “activist” group known previously as OneVoice, with branches in Israel, in the West Bank, Gaza, Europe, and Washington, DC (where it is pleased to call itself OneVoice Movement). A lawsuit against the US State Department forced the revelation that in 2013-14 alone, the US State Department gave the Israeli branch millions of dollars to prevent Bibi Netanyahu from being reelected...in which goal they failed. Mahmoud Abbas’s wealthy Palestinian-Canadian son, Yasser Mahmoud Abbas (sometimes referred to as merely Yasser Abbas, sometimes more fully as Yasser Mahmoud Reda Abbas) is on the PA branch’s board of directors. The thing was founded by multi-billionaire Daniel Lubetzky in 2002 as a “grassroots” effort of his PeaceWorks Foundation, to amplify moderate Jewish and Palestinian voices during the second Intifada, not noticing that groups founded by ultra-rich foreigners are exactly the opposite of grassroots. One has to assume, since he is still involved with the thing, that he is comfortable with the fact that it quickly rolled hard left.
