Clinton Adviser Greenberg Behind Israel Housing Protests
2011-09-03
So the protests aren't a spontaneous grassroots protest. Whose bright idea was it to hire a no-doubt expensive community organizer? And who is paying? Not the tent sitters and concert goers, who after all can't afford decent housing...
Large scale protests / pop concerts dominated by secular Israelis are being held in Tel Aviv, Haifa and Jerusalem and will include free performances by well known artists. The protesters demand "social justice" and a more equitable economy but their exact demands are not clear.  

According to an investigative report by Maariv's Kalman Libeskind, the protests were engineered by a group of media strategists who are directed by prominent Democratic strategist Stanley Greenberg, a former adviser to Bill Clinton, John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry
Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, the Senate's current foreign policy expert, filling the vacated wingtips of Joe Biden...
 and others. Greenberg directed the strategists to create a protest that was not led by one specific group, in order to create social ferment. An unnamed left-wing leader would eventually step into this ferment and take the reins, Greenberg predicted. 

The Israeli strategists reportedly include Boaz Gaon, Moshe Gaon and Eldad Yaniv, who worked in Ehud Barak's successful race for Prime Minister in 1999, also in cooperation with Greenberg. 
This smacks of revenge because so many of the NGOs were revealed to be sock puppets of various European governments and George Soros foundations, not native Israeli movements of conviction at all. Plus lots of willing dupes, there for the excitement and the free concerts. I think it was .com who commented that such rallies, back in the anti-Viet Nam War days, were a great way to get laid.
