| Election committee blocks left-wing plan to bus Arab voters |
| 2019-09-16 |
| [IsraelNationalNews] The Central Elections Committee issued an injunction Sunday night against the left-wing NGO Zazim's initiative to bus 15,000 Arab voters to voting booths on election day, ruling that the initiative is in violation of the election laws. The injunction came following a petition submitted by the Likud arguing that Zazim, which is heavily funded by the US-based New Israel Fund, is violating the election the laws. In 2017, the Knesset passed the "V15" law aimed at preventing foreign funded non-party political organizations from interfering in the elections. The law was passed following the efforts of V15, a US-funded group, which actively worked to defeat Prime Minister Netanyahu in the 2015 national elections. You think this is Chicago? |

| #6 Bless you for having a better memory than mine, Chereting Pelosi1889! A search of the Rantburg archives for V15 turned up nothing useful; a search of OneVoice is much more fruitful — see here. |

| #4 "O" or zero as some say, tried to rig an Israeli election during his last term. But yeah, it didn't work either. |

| #3 I haven't forgotten the Zero's attempt to influence the Brexit vote. Fortunately it worked as well as other votes he endorsed. |

| #2 [2016] The US government supported a group that tried to unseat Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last year to the tune of nearly $350,000, or NIS 1.3 million, a Senate inquiry published Tuesday found, though it cleared the State Department of any wrongdoing. The bipartisan probe found no illegal activity in funding the OneVoice group, which became the V15 campaign to oust Netanyahu, though its report chided the State Department for having failed to prevent state funds being used, albeit legally and indirectly, to influence an allied country’s internal political process. |
