Hillary Clinton offered a surprisingly strong speech at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee on Monday, even criticizing Donald Trump for daring to be neutral on the geographic tension between Israelis and Palestinians. Citing her visits to Israel during her tenure as secretary of state, Clinton argued she has proven she is the most qualified person in the 2016 race to defend Israel’s national security interests.
"I’ve sat in Israeli hospital rooms, holding the hands of men and women whose bodies and lives were torn apart by terrorist bombs. I’ve listened to doctors describe the shrapnel left in a leg, an arm, or even a head. That’s why I feel so strongly that America can’t ever be neutral when it comes to Israel’s security or survival. We can’t be neutral when rockets rain down on residential neighborhoods, when civilians are stabbed in the street, when suicide bombers target the innocent. Some things aren’t negotiable — and anyone who doesn’t understand that has no business being our president."
Clinton said three evolving threats – Iranian aggression, extremism, and the effort to delegitimize Israel – make America’s alliance with Israel “indispensable.”
The Republican National Committee watched her speech and have determined her record does not match up to her lofty rhetoric. For instance, if Clinton is so concerned about Iran’s belligerence, then why did she support the White House’s dangerous nuclear deal with Iran?
“Hillary Clinton’s speech was an attempt to whitewash a record of undermining Israel’s interests when she was Secretary of State. As the chief architect of the Obama administration’s foreign policy, her support for policies like the disastrous Iran nuclear deal and her boasting of being called the Obama administration’s ‘designated yeller’ for Israel calls into question her commitment to our closest ally in the world’s most tumultuous region. One speech cannot mask her fervent criticism of Israeli policy which has eroded diplomatic relations and left our ally further isolated and under threat. Only a Republican president will reverse this administration’s break with Israel and renew a steadfast commitment which has characterized American foreign policy for decades.”
The RNC also sent out a briefing book further proving Clinton is "No Friend of Israel." Voters, they say, have a right to be skeptical as to how she’ll treat our Middle East friend. Clinton’s trips to Israel pale in comparison to several of her preceding secretaries of state. During her tenure, she made only five diplomatic visits to the nation. Clinton also once proudly referred to herself as the “designated yeller” for Israel, referencing the moments she criticized the nation for Jewish settlements in the West Bank. The jockeying for control in the region has often ended in violence. Clinton has accused Israel of a “lack of empathy” and a “lack of generosity” in the bloody border debate.
Does this sound like a commander-in-chief who has Israel’s best interests at heart?
Wouldn’t it be great if research showed that Hillary never even visited an Israeli hospital?
The Israelis listen politely having read what Hillary really thought and did via her leaky email server
Surely they expect Ms Benghazi to have their backs
And it would be such a pleasure having Huma Abedin screen their calls at 3 AM
You could tell by the audience response to Trump’s words about Hillary, at AIPAC today, that there is no love in Israel for her.

Was this during the time she was under fire?
Hillary was their ‘Designated Barker’ ?
That story about her being a Yeller is quite Old.
In fact, let’s just call her “Old Yeller” from now on.
How does playing house with a Muslim Brotherhood supporter help Israel?
MSM, a little Fact Check please. (riiiiight)
Did Hillary tell everyone about that Palestinian sniper who just missed her? Guess, in her modesty, she forgot to.
Probably the same guy who shot at her in Serbia, Kosovo, Upper Slobbovia.
Follow the article at the link. Here's an excerpt:
"In the summer of 1973 Hillary Rodham was in Arkansas with her future husband to take the bar exam. During her stay she accompanied her fiancé to meet a politically well-connected friend whose support in Bill's upcoming bid for congress would be crucial. Upon arriving at the home Hillary noticed a menorah (the seven branched temple menorah) on the front door which sent her into an incendiary rage. Hillary refused to get out of the car, leaving Bill to come up with an excuse for her abhorrent behavior. Bill later explained to his friend that "Hillary's really tight with the people in the PLO in New York. They're friends of hers and she doesn't feel right about the menorah," adding that "Hillary really backs the PLO and doesn't like what Israel is up to."

I saw “Old Yeller” when I was a kid. I never realized it was about Hillary.
With Hillary I have come to assume what she says is false until proven true.
Hillary Clinton’s speech was an attempt to whitewash a record of undermining Israel’s interests when she was Secretary of State.

You mean Hillary admits she is a dog with rabies?
She - and many here - misses the point that his “neutrality” is because he realizes that all the “peace attempts” have done nothing but hurt Israel and he wants to un-cuff her and her people.
Wow, speaks volumes- thanks for sharing that tidbit. But I always knew she “hated” Israel, most Libs are on the side of the poor Palestinians.
