In reply to the discussion: Netanyahu Ad To Debut In Florida [View all]nc4bo
(17,651 posts)48. Ok - let's speculate. Harmless speculation I'd rather do on DU than anywhere else.
So Romney, Netanyahu, GOP has nothing to do with this, it's a super pac right but check this out (Sorry about the nasty link but I needed it):

One would think that informing Americans where others stand would send ripples into our political fabric, and conscientious representatives would conduct policy accordingly, but this often isnt the case. Sometimes getting the word out simply isn't enough. When it comes to issues of national security and foreign policy, Democratic pollster and Fox News contributor Pat Caddell and GOP pollster John McLaughlin had grown tired of merely charting what Americans are thinking and decided to get into the business of empowering them to act.
John McLaughlin owns McLaughlin & Associates and if you scroll down their political client list the last entry is the tie that binds.

Here's the clencher, Netanyahu and Mitt Romney are all tied to the Boston Consulting Group (going by the Muckety Relationship map) they are shows as "advisers". I'm going to speculate some more and say any ad using Netanyahu's image, I have no doubt it has been approved and given a blessing.
I won't even go into Sheldon Adelson - we all know where he's coming from and what he's most involved in.
Ok, done speculating. Apologies if this seems wild but I feel like we are in wild times, dealing with some wild people capable of doing anything..

Reality check - the "Jewish vote" isn't as monolithic on the subject of Israel as it once was.

They don't need proof or facts to blame the ad on Israel. It fits into their anti-Israel mindset.
