Clinton, in a Sharp Turnaround Warns Against Even Symbolically Recognizing Jerusalem as Capital
New York Sun ^ | 9/28/11 | Rick Richman

Posted on 09/28/2011 1:12:52 PM PDT by Nachum

Secretary of State Clinton, in a sharp departure from her stance when she was a senator, is warning that any American action, even symbolically, toward recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel must be avoided for the reason that it would jeopardize the peace process. Her warnings were issued in a brief she has just filed with the Supreme Court — in which she is arguing that a law she voted for when she was Senator is unconstitutional because it could require the U.S. government to give to an American citizen born at Jerusalem papers showing the birthplace as Israel.

They could call it “Chinese Taipei.”

Is that an indication that the sour little communist forgot to tell Bill that she really isn’t going to run or is it a head fake to keep the White Hut team from investigating her? We all know the only thing she has ever liked about Jews is their voting block.

Ah yes. The era of flying ashtrays and missing billing records...and no eye contact in the hallway.

Clinton has always been anti-Israel, and apparently antisemitic to boot. That hasn’t changed.

She kissed Suha Arafat after Suha spent most of the meal telling her that the Jews were killing Palestinian kids with poison gasses.

She took money from Muslim terrorists when she was running for the NY Senate.

Her girlfriend, Huma Abedin, has terrorist connections.

And she has been credibly reported as having cursed the Jews, although that is still hearsay.

She has to follow orders from her boss. Don’t think this was suddenly her idea.

Clinton (in her best Sergeant Schultz imitation voice):

“I hear nothing, I see nothing, I know nothing! Vee vill not tolerate truth-telling about Jerusalem.”

FUNNY!!! She is going to try to get the SC to declare a law that SHE VOTED FOR made unconstitutional? Is this kinda like her vote for USE OF FORCE IN IRAQ? She AND Obama are jokes.

I’m always amazed by these ridiculous statements coming from our leaders. Will they never admit that to Palestinians the very existence of Israel is a threat to the peace process and it will always be?

There is no peace process. Its hard to have peace when one group wants to push the other group into the Sea. When are we going to stop worrying about what a bunch of unproductive, trouble making Fakestinians think about anything. Israel needs to take the whole territory back, make Jerusalem the Capital and then push the Fakestinians back over the border into Syria, Jordan, Eqypt etc where they belong. Of course then our Muslim in Chief will probably bring them all to Michighanistan their “new” homeland.

Sounds like a story from the Onion or John Seimens. She is saying a law she voted for is now unconstitutional? When did the RATS start caring about the US Constitution?

As far as I’m concerned... the capital of Israel is Jerusalem! How’s that sit with ya’ Hil? And it should be all Jewish, including the Temple Mount.

HRC: the empty pants suit.

Bereft of principles, morality, or even ideas. A large, plastic “reset” button exemplifies her perfectly. Why ANYONE thinks she is any better or more capable than BHO, I cannot imagine.

Please name me even one accomplishment during her tenure as SoS. Be sure it is something that has actually benefited the USA.

BHO is incompetent & corrupt. So is HRC. Neither is a leader by any honest definition of the word. Whether HRC would have been a more competent President than BHO is unknowable, but not likely, given her weak performances as Senator & SoS. Whether she would have been more corrupt is undeniable. So, we may have been relatively lucky that we only have to suffer BHO as President. Regardless, both make me puke every time I see them.

My nearest neighbor was born in Austria-Hungary. Wonder what’s on her passport...?

This is stupid. The State Department has great discretion here. All they need to do is ask one clarifying question to applicants with Jerusalem as their birthplace: Do you want it to say “Jerusalem, Israel” or “Jerusalem, Jordan” (or even “Jerusalem, British Mandate”). Later, if there is a recognized Palestinian sovereign presence, they could add “Jerusalem, Palestine” to the list.

They are making a mountain out of a molehill, and could have defused this a long time ago.

Again, what Israel needs to do.

1) Eminent domain all Arab property in East Jerusalem.

2) Nationalize all non-Jewish holy sites. With generous lease terms to those who behave as good tenants.

3) For peace, make the Palestinians a deal. Stop attacking us, or we will expel all of you from Gaza and the West Bank. Permanently. No take-backs, no matter who demands it. From that point, no more Arabs entering Israel, except with diplomatic credentials recognized by Israel.
