JERUSALEM (AP) - U.S. Senator Hillary Clinton said Sunday that she supports the separation barrier Israel is building along the edges of the West Bank, and that the onus is on the Palestinian Authority to fight terrorism.
"This is not against the Palestinian people," Clinton, a New York Democrat, said during a tour of a section of the barrier being built around Jerusalem. "This is against the terrorists. The Palestinian people have to help to prevent terrorism. They have to change the attitudes about terrorism."
Israel has built about three-fourths of the barrier, which is expected to stretch about 680 kilometres when complete. It says the structure is needed to keep suicide bombers, who have killed hundreds of Israelis during five years of fighting, from entering the country.
But the Palestinians harshly criticize the barrier because it cuts into the West Bank at several points. They say it is intended to steal disputed land they claim as part of a future independent state. The barrier also has prevented thousands of Palestinians from reaching their jobs, schools and farmland.
Clinton's comments echoed Israel's position that the Palestinians must crack down on militants or Israel will find ways to prevent attacks on its citizens.

God, what Pulitzer and Nobel Prize winning profound observations!!!!
This Marxist fool should get an award for citing the OBVIOUS over and over. Yes, Hitlery, this nation REALLY needs your profound leadership....
News Flash!
Someone tell Hillary there are no Palestinians. Just Arabs, Syrians, Egyptians, etc....
She thinks WE are "stuck on stupid".
Chapter 27 in "How to pretend you're a conservative in order to becom POTUS." Written by her lying, degenerate husband of course.

Dean is the liberal hate-monger, making Hillary look moderate.
This is part of her run up to be a centrist "looking" candidate for 2008.
BUT, she will still be PRO Gun Control and Abortion, Gay rights, and welfare state. She thinks she can be a moderate!
Appeasing the Jewish voters I would say. I dont think she means it for one minute. I think she is talking politics and not her beliefs. She is pandering. Liberals like her believe Israel is the reason muslims have gone insane.
She's shilling for the next Nobel Peace Prize....
Naw, she's just hinting that she needs some campaign money.
thanks for the photo
Hillary Clinton says DEMOCRATS must change attitudes about terrorism!
Now that would be worthwhile as she has more influence with that.
This political snake still chooses her words carefully.
"..help to prevent..."??
".. help...?"
The obligation and duty to prevent criminal acts and mass murder is entirely the "palestinians"!
What, exactly, other than paying protection money, is Israel and the rest of the world supposed to do about them (other than kill them as fast as possible)?
Excuse my naivete, what is POTUS?
Now if she said this, I wouldn't be surprised:
"Now if you do change your minds about terrorism, I'll lobby the Israeli government to pardon you. Don't forget the FALN bomb terrorist pardons. After all, I have experience as a lawyer for the Black Panthers."
