[TomCADem]

Interesting take from an Israeli newspaper regarding Sheldon Adelson, Mitt Romney and Netanyahu.

Fact: Adelson is the biggest patron of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (and of his family). Adelson believes that Netanyahu's leadership is essential for the existence of the Jewish people. He does not merely think this; he acts on it. Donations? That's obvious. But he does for Netanyahu something that no other rich man has probably ever done for the candidate he supports: Adelson established a newspaper for Netanyahu (and his family). Adelson bought journalists to write only praise for the prime minister (and his family); journalists, who after all of Netanyahu's talk, "explain" how right he is. Journalists who cannot, in other words do not dare, find any flaw in Netanyahu's deeds and decisions. Nothing.

The newspaper "Adelson (Israel) Today" has a very large circulation, not because of its quality, of which it has none, but because it is free; a free newspaper. Now "Adelson pays". Huge sums; and I write as a man who knows how much money a newspaper consumes. But "Adelson Pays" and pays, and pays. For Netanyahu (and his family).

Fact: Let us get back to Romney. A remark or hint by Netanyahu that Obama is bad for Israel is worth something to Romney… maybe the presidency. Repeated hints that Obama will do nothing about Iran, or that "Hillary Clinton is expediting the centrifuges" - their value to Romney in gold cannot be estimated. A serious crisis with the Americans and confrontations with their officials sends a message: Obama is bad - and not just for the Jews. For humanity. For the universe. He is a dangerous man. He is firing up the centrifuges. He is bringing closer a nuclear Holocaust on Israel, and maybe on America, too.

The conclusion: Vote for Romney, just like Adelson wants.
