Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has never been a friend to Israel. Today, speaking at the 2012 Saban Forum on US-Israel Relations, a liberal organization, she railed against Israel for supposed insensitivity, lack of empathy, and lack of generosity with regard to the Palestinians – even as the Palestinians unilaterally violated all agreements with Israel and attempted to declare statehood, and within days of Hamas firing rockets on Israeli population centers and bombing a bus. Here’s what she said: So, look, I’m not making excuses for the missed opportunities of the Israelis, or the lack of generosity, the lack of empathy that I think goes hand-in-hand with the suspicion. So, yes, there is more that the Israelis need to do to really demonstrate that they do understand the pain of an oppressed people in their minds, and they want to figure out, within the bounds of security and a Jewish democratic state, what can be accomplished.

If someone were firing rockets into my back yard every five minutes, the issue would not be empathy, it would be the taking over of Gaza and tossing the Palis' into the Siani.
They would be crazy if they did.
Compassion and mercy are something one should show only to a defeated enemy.

Stupid woman! I understand the need people have for saying what other people want to hear but when it comes to international politics and people’s lives you have to draw the line and tell the truth.
The real truth is Israel, to it’s own detriment, has been too soft on the Palestinians for too long. Can you imagine what the USA would do to Canada if they were doing the same as the Palis are to Israel.

You mean like empathy & generosity you and Bill showed Juanita Broaddrick? You’d better put some ice on that Sociopath of State.
What does one expect from someone who says fk’n joo bastard? But that didn’t stop my Liberal co religionists in New York City (only Tel Aviv has a larger number of Jews) from voting for her. If Hitler was a Democrat in America, maybe they would vote for him, too
The woman who probably drove her daughters husband to mental breakdown talks about ‘empathy’.
Anyone happen to have the picture of Hillary embracing and kissing Arafat’s wife on the cheeK?
Conclusion: Hillary is a radical who has ALWAYS sided against Israel as well as the Founders of her own country. There is nothing new here.
And your “conclusion” is much more gross than necessary to make a point.
Hillary is either stupid or a liar. Or both.
Thanks...lest anyone forget.
If we don’t get our act together she is the next president.
The Clintons and Obama would have supported the Holocaust
because they LOVE genocide.
They love it right up there
with slavery and Communism. Typical Democrats.
LOL! Yep! People tend to feel that way about someone who has spent the last few hundred years trying to exterminate them.
It could be something about the thousands of rockets being fired into Israel by the Palis.
empathy=lots of hot lead!!!
So do I. What is there to empathize with terrorists?
