A new report posted today by the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI), led by chair Rob Portman (R-OH) confirms that the U.S. State Department funded an Israeli political organization that later ran a campaign dedicated to ousting Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The group, OneVoice, has drawn media scrutiny that led to this investigation.

from report:

OneVoice used the campaign infrastructure and resources built, in part, with State Department grants funds to support V15. In service of V15, OneVoice deployed its social media platform, which more than doubled during the State Department grant period; used its database of voter contact information, including email addresses, which OVI expanded during thegrant period; and enlisted its network of trained activists, many of whom were recruited or trained under the grant, to support and recruit for V15.

Had not seen this posted.

Dates seem to indicate this was on Kerry's watch. But Trump should be hammering this.

 Fine to post it, from " Jul 12, 2016 ";

Basically we have known this for a long time, the State Dept. took sides, just like if the Government of Canada was on the Democratic side in an election and sent them donations.

In a way, taking sides might backfire and actually have helped Netanyahu's side.
