Ted Cruz Calls For An Investigation Into Taxpayer-Funded State Department Group Named OneVoice That Is Trying To Oust Netanyahu…

Ted Cruz bluntly asks in a press release: “Has President Obama launched a political campaign against Prime Minister Netanyahu and his representatives? This administration’s relentless harassment of Israel is utterly incomprehensible. The Islamic Republic of Iran is pursuing the deadliest weapons on the planet, and there can be no doubt that their first target will be Israel, followed by the United States. This administration should be focusing its animosity on the very real enemies we face, not on our staunch allies.” This is why I love Ted Cruz. He tells it like it is and states what should be obvious to all Americans. Because Netanyahu accepted an invitation to speak in front of Congress in March, Obama and the White House started saying that he spit in their face and then promised that there would be consequences. Well, the Obama mafia carries through on threats at home and abroad. Obama hates Israel and hearts the Mullahs. He won’t stand for anything getting in the way of a nuclear Iran.

From the Washington Free Beacon:

A U.S. State Department-funded group is financing an Israeli campaign to oust President Benjamin Netanyahu, and has hired former Obama aides to help with its grassroots organizing efforts.

U.S.-based activist group OneVoice International has partnered with V15, an “independent grassroots movement” in Israel that is actively opposing Netanyahu’s party in the upcoming elections, Ha’aretz reported on Monday. Former national field director for President Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign Jeremy Bird is also reportedly involved in the effort.

OneVoice development and grants officer Christina Taler said the group would be working with V15 on voter registration and get-out-the-vote efforts but would not engage in overtly partisan activities. She said OneVoice and V15 are still formalizing the partnership. […]

OneVoice said in a press release on Tuesday that it is teaming up with V15 because Israel “need[s] a prime minister and a government who will be responsive to the people.”

OneVoice International received two grants from the U.S. State Department over the past year, and lists the agency as a “partner” on its website. Taler said the group is not using this money for its Israeli election-related efforts.

Freshman congressman Lee Zeldin says in his statement, “It is completely unacceptable to use U.S. tax dollars to influence the elections in Israel. State Department grants should never be given to entities working to overthrow strong allies like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. We have great allies around the world, but Israel is our strongest, and a beacon of freedom in a region filled with radical Islamic extremists and state sponsored terrorism. Today, I join with Sen. Ted Cruz in calling for a U.S. Department of State investigation into this important matter.” Zeldin gets it exactly right as well. Read the letter from Cruz and Zeldin below to John Kerry. There should definitely be a full investigation here. American voters want to know and fast.
