Hillary Defines "Unhelpful"
Commentary Magazine ^ | March 4, 2009 | Jonathan Tobin

Today in Ramallah, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that Israel’s demolition of Arab homes in Jerusalem was “unhelpful.” It was to be expected that she would toss the Palestinians a few bones during her visit and, one supposes, she could have said a lot worse.

Hillary it is NOT helpful when you call people a “Jew Ba$tard.” And what about the 10s of millions your husband took from Arab countries?

If that's worst Israel can expect from Hillary, they don't have much to worry about. Its a moot issue with massive new construction that's going to happen in the E1 area between Jerusalem and Maale Adumim.

Diplomacy at it's best. Say something, the next day try to explain it. Putin and Iran are drooling at the thought of negotiationing with this team.
