The administration of President Barack Obama has launched what officials termed a psychological warfare campaign meant to topple Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Sources in the administration and Congress asserted that the White House and State Department have sought to destabilize Netanyahu's government by forcing him to agree to an indefinite freeze on Jewish construction in the West Bank and most of Jerusalem as well as the establishment of a Palestinian state by 2012. They said the campaign sought to replace Netanyahu with opposition leader and former foreign minister Tsipi Livni.
"Bibi is extremely vulnerable to pressure," a source familiar with the White House effort said. "We know this from his first term in office and believe he will collapse this time as well."
The sources said the administration's strategy aimed to de-legitimize Netanyahu in his government and right-wing constituency. They said Obama and his aides have sought to portray Netanyahu as a weak and unstable politician who will destroy relations with Washington as Israel seeks U.S. support for a military option against Iran.

Right. And Brer Rabbit said, "whatever you do don't throw me in that briar patch!"
Take a close look at the Cabinet of Obama - it is filled with Israelis who have dual-citizenship. Rahm Immanuel's Father was Leader of the Israeli Terrorist group who attacked the Palestinians after WWII.
You take a look at the photo, and note the body language-- this is mafioso stuff. Chicago gangster stuff.
Israel is our friend, and our main ally in the middle east (for now, anyway).
The unbelievable arrogance of an administration that would attempt to force a leadership change in the democratically-elected governance of an ally speaks volumes about the character of the people that are running this country.
We should be ashamed of this disgraceful behavior.
Anon 1210 - You took the words right out of my mouth. Very well said. Netanyahu should have broken that finger right off.
Given that Obama is a very unpopular President in Israel I don't think Netanyahu has to worry.
Most Americans have no understanding of Israel.
None at all.
2:05 you did not go far enough Netanyahu should have broken off Obamas finger and shoved it right up his ass
I want to see a country try to overtake Israel, no one will ever overtake Israel, if you believe someone will, you are a fool.
Why would anyone expect anything else from a muslim?
