Hilary Clinton: 'U.S., Israel share values'

U.S. Senator Hilary Clinton provides support for Israel during speech at AIPAC conference; says Europe must label Hizbullah as terror organization

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton gave unflinching support to Israel, the disengagement plan and U.S. Army soldiers in Iraq in a speech Tuesday that some said could be a blueprint for a presidential run.

Clinton, a New York Democrat, received sustained applause from 5,000 members of the pro-Israel lobby group AIPAC for equating support of the Jewish state to support for American values.

In fact, much of her speech echoed the theme pressed by AIPAC during the three-day conference: “Israel. An American Value.”

“There are deep and lasting bonds between the U.S. and Israel,” Clinton said. “These are more than shared interests. They are bonds forged in a common struggle for human rights and freedom, bonds that predate the creation of the state of Israel, and even the creation of the U.S.”

She said people in the Middle East should look to Israel if they want to see what democracy looks like.

'A tremendous risk'

Clinton steered clear of overtly political or specific issues in her talk, but called on the Palestinian Authority to end incitement, hatred and anti-Semitism in its schoolbooks. She described use of such material as tantamount to “child abuse.”

She said Israel’s disengagement plan from Gaza is a “tremendous risk” that must be supported.

She said Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, who is due in Washington for meetings with President George W. Bush on Thursday, must “dismantle the structures of terror the Palestinian leadership has employed for so long.”

Abbas must be held responsible, Clinton said.

“As Israel’s democratic government takes these steps (toward disengagement), and we support them, there has to be reciprocity on the other side as well,” she said.

Funding for Islamic Jihad, Hamas must be severed

Cinton said a nuclear-armed Iran would be unacceptable, not just to Israel and the U.S., but to the entire world.

She said Europe must be convinced to designate Syrian-backed Hizbullah of Lebanon as a terrorist organization, which European countries have been reluctant to do.

Europe must also work to cut off funding for Islamic Jihad and Hamas, she said.

Clinton, whose one-time embrace of Suha Arafat angered Jewish communities, has worked from before her 2000 election as a U.S. senator from New York to mend ties with and show support for Israel and Jewish causes.

New York has America's largest Jewish population, nearly 10 percent of the state's 19 million residents.

Clinton has built up a large warchest for her 2006 re-election bid, and has said she is not now running for U.S. president. However, Democratic and political eyes have been on her from the first day she and former President Bill Clinton announced their move to a suburb of New York City upon the ending of his eight years as president in early 2001.

I don't recall her making that point the day she embraced Mrs. Arafat.

Queen Jezebel Evita (alias Hillary/Hitlery) is about as much of a true friend and supporter of Israel as a cobra is a friend of a mongoose.

"I view Hillary Clinton as a great danger to Jews if she is elected."

former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir
Jewish Press, July 2000

 

I... underestimated the propensity of my people for narrow-mindedness and self-destruction (the Jewish vote for Mrs. Clinton was about 70%)....

Some anti-Semitism is irrational, founded in ignorance, as in Hillary's case....

But other forms of anti-Semitism can be earned, giving folks legitimate grievances against a people because they do crazy things like EXTEND HILLARY CLINTON'S POLITICAL LIFE!

This is not to cast the entire blame on Jewish New Yorkers; they alone couldn't have elected her. In my initial optimism, I equally underestimated the urban pseudo-intellectual's high-mindedness, as well as the Everyman's yearning for celebrity in his midst.

That was stupid...most arabs hate Israel and looking towards them as an example is not something they would likely ever want to do.

I don't care what anyone says...I think she is way over-rated.

"Remember the picture of Hilary Hildebeasteh kissing arab-fat's wife"

Never forget it.

That needs to be recalled and utilized as our primary graphic for the Hillary Reality campaign we must wage over the next 3 years.

We simply must, must, must stop this woman from becoming President. All of our fears are understatements in this reagard. Stop Hillary. Stop Hillary. Stop Hillary. Stop Hillary. Stop Hillary.

"And this is what the Jews will vote for come 2006? Shame!"

As a Jew, I share your perplexity. But I have to face it. 75% American Jews voted for Kerry, and that's a big, steady reduction of the Democratic Jewish vote. Four Presidents ago, it was 89%!

The simple fact is, most Jews are Leftists. That means, they support people who want to kill all the Jews (starting with the Jews in Israel first, which I suppose reassures the American Jews somehow). Best proof I know for Savage's statement: Liberalism is a Mental Disorder.

[strategofr]

"But while we loath her for the attempt, DUmmies for the most part think she is betrying leftist/progressive goals."

Look a little deeper. These people (I'll grant many rank and file beleive what they are saying) are building Hillary's credibility with the Center---the group that wins American Presidential elections. Everything is scripted to the same theme. Hillary will save the Democratic Party from the exteme Left and save the US from the extreme Right (Republicans) The only question is whether McCain will run as someone playing the same role for the Republicans or as Hillary's running mate.

[Hilary] Hil-LIAR-y Clinton: 'U.S., Israel share values'

Well now that is just BS.

Israel does its best to guard its borders, and our leaders, both Bush and the RATs, don't give a damn about protecting our borders.
