Former President Bill Clinton has joined the critics of Israel by saying Israel has overreacted to the abductions of soldiers and terrorist attacks by mounting a "disproportionate" military operation against Hezbollah and Hamas.
Clinton, who attempted to bring peace between Israel and the Palestinians but failed, called for the world community to pressure the Lebanese, Syrians and Israel to cease fire and allow intermediaries from the United Nations to discuss these nations' differences.
During the time he was working to broker a peace deal, in 1996 President Clinton assigned the Central Intelligence Agency to train Palestinian security forces, but many graduates used their newfound skills to attack Israel, according to Mike Rubin of the Heritage Institute.
Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin called for an end to the violence in the middle, but saved his sharpest criticism for the Israelis.
Joining leaders from France, Greece, China and other nations, Putin accused the Israeli government of failing to use "proportionate" military force against Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists and Lebanon, a nation that harbors Hezbollah.
Putin said through an interpreter, "Israel's use of force is disproportionate and should be balanced."
However, President Bush who's attending the G8 summit defended Israel saying there is no one on whom to place blame except Hezbollah. Bush also accused the Syrian and Iranian governments of supporting the terrorists, who are using Iranian built rockets in their attacks against Israeli cities and towns.
Mark Levin, a constitutional lawyer, former Reagan Justice Department official, and talk show host said in reply to the Israeli critics, "What are the Israelis supposed to do? Wait for a repeat of Hitler's death camps. Never again! Never again!"
Levin pointed out that the United Nations Security Council has been talking about Iran and North Korea for months without producing one resolution to condemn these renegade countries, yet within a few hours they wrote a UN resolution condemning Israel for its actions against terrorists. "I'll say it again -- NEVER AGAIN!" he yelled during his evening talk show.
The UN resolution of condemnation of the Jewish State was blocked by US Ambassador to the UN, John Bolton, who also placed the blame on terror organizations.
Bolton was being blocked last year by a Democrat led filibuster during his Senate confirmation process. Even Republican Senator George Voinovich of Ohio cried on the floor of the senate at the thought of having Bolton represent the US at the UN. Voinovich, however, had no comment when reporters asked about the alleged corruption at the international body.
Besides Putin, the French government also had stinging criticism of Israel's military action against the Palestinian Hamas and the Lebanese-based Hezbollah, saying in a statement that Israel has gone "too far."
But political analyst Mike Baker, himself Jewish, sneared, "That's why France is such a successful "war machine;" when protecting yourself, you go too far if you kill the enemy. Now you know why France is such a military success."
In the midst of this violence, throughout the day on cable news channels, one appeaser after another goes before the television cameras and pontificates about the need to talk.
"We must sit down and talk." "Our leaders must have the combatants talk." "We must send a UN mission to the region to talk."
What if someone were killing members of your family: sons, daughters, cousins, nieces, uncles, aunts are all being killed or threatened by a maniac. Would you sit and talk to the maniacal murderer? I hope not. Only a coward would do such a thing and consider himself or herself a reasonable person.
Nothing new.. Clinton has never been part of the solution, only part of the problem.
There he goes again thinking he is somebody. Hey Bill keep your mind on your paints and zipper shut and leave the fighting to the nation of I srael. Of course Bill Clinton would condem Israel fighting, he went to where during the Viet Nam war. Clinton knows nothing of fighting , he was a real draft dodger.Clinton who gave Kim Jong Ill first class treatment ,Arafat was in and out of the White House and of course he bombed the heck out of the Orthodox shrines during his precious war in Kosovo, even on Good Friday and Greek Easter, ah BILL JUST GO AWAY,DON't GO AWAY MAD JUST GO AWAY!
"Clinton can shut his hole. He had his chance to build peace and he blew it by sucking up to the terrorist Arafart"
Liberals roll over and beg for mercy before the fight has even begun. Clintoon did practically nothing about the first WTC bombing, the USS Cole, the American embassy bombings, etc. So naturally he doesn't expect Israel to react strongly to islamic terrorism. It's the liberal way; they are cowards whose spineless bodies induce them to enter "negotiations" with a murderous enemy rather than fight and eliminate them. Bubba had eight years to "negotiate" peace with the islamofactists of the middle east and he got nowhere.
They aren't saying Clinton said it
It says Putin said it .. though it is through an interpreter .. and that person could have translated it wrong
Putin said through an interpreter, "Israel's use of force is disproportionate and should be balanced."
Yes, that line was a classic. Even by Clinton standards totally over the top and totally absurd.
Well, if Clinton really wants to grab a weapon and suit up Israel could use him in Gaza or at the northern border. Take your pick Bubba, Hamas or Hezbollah???
didn't that POS SlickWillie SWEAR he'd pick up a rifle and fight himself if Israel was ATTACKED???
"Take your pick Bubba, Hamas or Hezbollah???"
A tough call.
But if I were choosing neighbors, I think I would pick Hamas or Hezbollah.

Why is this guy consulted by the media anytime something happens in the world. there are many ex presidents they could talk to, and all of them have absolutely no power to affect these situations. I'm tired of hearing this guy, he's irrelevant. What he says is not news, its old.
His "wife" supported Israel's right to defend itself. Talk about triangulation? Israel Rocks!!
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
Shalom Israel

BILL CLINTON:
Supporter of terrorist HO CHI MINH, Communist Dictator of North Vietnam, and against us Freedom fighters during the Vietnam War
Facillitator of North Korea's development of offensive missiles and deliverable nuclear devices
Facillitator of OSAMA bin LADEN's aggression against us by refusing 3 free offers from the Sudan during the 1990's to give us this No. 1 terrorist enemy on a silver platter before he could hit us real hard here at home
Apologist to now Free Central Americans for America's fighting on the "wrong side" against CASTRO-sponsored Communist forces trying to take over Central America during the 1980's.
Apologist to the world for America being the only Super Power in the world, saying that all countries of the world should be playing on the same level playing field ..including our enemies.
The Enemy is now Within
...and always has been.

Ug. I don't know. As time goes by, I simply don't want to know anymore. Those two and their minions are the dregs of the earth as far as I am concerned.
Thanks for the link. Good catch...
And Hezbolla's kidnapping of Israeli soldiers was a proportionate response to WHAT?
Didn't Clinton volunteer to pick up a rifle and fight for Israel if Israel were attacked? I guess when Israel is actually attacked, he has a selective memory.
"Clintoon did practically nothing about the first WTC bombing, the USS Cole, the American embassy bombings, etc."
Knowing Bubba, he probably meant that he would be fighting with the Iraqis against Israel.
