WASHINGTON--A former top US diplomat suggested Washington foment Arab Spring-style Palestinian protests as a method of pushing the Israeli leadership into making moves, a new batch of emails from former secretary of state Hillary Clinton shows.
On December 18, 2011, Thomas Pickering, a former US ambassador to Israel who also served as undersecretary of state for political affairs under former president Bill Clinton, emailed Clinton a recommendation to spark Palestinian demonstrations, led by female protesters, to push Jerusalem into talks.
Upon receiving the message, Clinton asked an aide to print it out.
Without detailing how the US would spark these protests, Pickering noted that the US could not be seen to have had a hand in fomenting the rallies, instead suggesting that Washington employ non-governmental groups and third parties to "help."
Pickering's proposal, which included parallel protests by Israeli Jews and Arabs, called for the rallies to be female-only as a way to keep the demonstrations from becoming too violent. . .
Clinton made sure a record of Pickering's message was kept. Later, when Pickering was picked to conduct the State Department Benghazi probe, Hillary could hold this over his head to assure Pickering would exonerate her and her minions.
And Pickering is the one who said she did nothing wrong on Benghazi! Can we say the fix is in?
sick. Just like they got Netanyahu out in 98-99 with Carville’s help, then pushed so hard for “peace” that Arafat launched the intifada in 2000.
Isn’t that an act of war?
Against an ally?
” to keep the demonstrations from becoming too violent. . .”
Clear as day. For something to not be ‘too’ violent” means that violent was in the plan.
Please Bibi have one more battle left in you. Take to the stage and call out these swines.
[Isn’t that an act of war? Against an ally?]
Very likely. And these type of operations have a way of outrunning the intent of the halfwits who concoct them, especially when the agents are goatherds. If Pickering felt free to suggest this Chinese fire-drill in an email it might indicate how reckless the Clinton State Department was. Gotta wonder what kind of illegal crap has been pulled around the world.
Right.
Good point.
Pickering was Reagan’s Ambassador to Israel, (among many position through the decades)! Prime example why it is next to impossible to trust anyone in the Foreign Service, no matter who is POTUS.
Absolute evil corruption. Hope Cruz or Trump makes this front and center.
They should have this thrown in their faces and be forever ostracized.
Yes.
The fact he was comfortable enough to suggest, propose the plan to her says volumes about their relationship, in that he knew it would be something she’d seriously consider.
Behold, all who are incensed against you (Israel) shall be put to shame and confounded; those who strive against you shall be as nothing and shall perish. Isaiah 41:11-12
Bingo!! It was Pickering that cleared Hillary of any Benghazi doings!! Pickering has ALWAYS been EVIL!!
American Jews will vote for Hildebeast by a 85/15% margin.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Not surprising Clinton is taking the terrorists side.
Black-ops war of an ally? Wasn’t it not too long ago the Resident was the greatest partner to Israel?
Oh, how refreshing (and a load off the shoulders) if/when the Socialists lament the flushing out of ALL personal from the DoJ, DoSt, etc. and prosecuting the law-breakers?!
/I can dream, can’t I?
