Clinton campaign manager didn’t want Israel ‘at public events’

Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager did not want “Israel at public events,” according to hacked emails published online by WikiLeaks.

The topic of whether to include a shoutout to America’s closest ally in the Middle East in Clinton’s stump speech was hotly debated, with many concluding a mention of the Jewish state would upset “dem activists.”

“Would add a sentence on standing up for our allies and our values, including Israel and other fellow democracies, and confronting terrorists and dictators with strength and cunning,” Jake Sullivan, a top foreign-policy adviser to Clinton, said in response to a draft of remarks in a May 17, 2015, email exchange.

Communications adviser Mandy Grunwald pushed back. After pointing out the remarks were for “public events not fundraisers,” Grunwald asked, “Do we need Israel etc for that?”

“We def need the etc. I think good to have Israel too,” Sullivan, who worked for Clinton at the State Department, replied.

“Why would we call out Israel in public events now?” pollster Joel Benenson replied.

Good debate point for Trump for the evangelical and pro-Israel constituency.

“Hillary, like Obama, hates Israel. I am pro-Israel 100%. If I am elected, I will recognize Jerusalem as the eternal capital of the state of Israel. Hillary won’t.”

Hillary is part of the “I hate G_D” party, the one that condemns Israel, condemns the Pope and the Catholic Church, and Evangelicals.

Should read: They don’t want Israel to exist at all.

Problem: Why do stupid Jews still support this party?

Answer: Because the majority are and always have been blind to their own interests.

So, they really hate Israel in secret. How can Jews support Dems?...

Israel can expect a hillary White House to continue with obama’s disrespect and disdain.

The US will continue to align itself with untrustworthy moslem nations, while Israel is pushed ever-farther into the Russian camp.

We’ll align ourselves with Pakistan over India, as has obama, and the democrats and their apologists will alienate us from any and all reliable foreign policy friends except some European nations, plus Japan and South Korea.

Meanwhile, Russia and China grow stronger and stronger.

The United States used to be a beacon of freeedom for the entire world. Now we’re only a dark stain of corruption and amoral incompetence. If hillary gains the White House, this downward trend will continue.

Thanks to NY Post and Wikileaks for demonstrating the true contempt of most of the the bigwigs in the 'Rat Party, HRC and Obama included, toward Israel.

They only find Israel useful when soliciting donations from a handful of their ultra-wealthy Hollywood Jewish supporters.

Aside from that, the two parties' platforms on the Middle East have shown the Republicans significantly better on Israel than the 'Rats over the last two decades or so.

And general polling of the American population shows Republicans to be much more pro-Israel than Democrats.

The 'Rats prefer to embrace anti-Israel and antisemitic constituencies such as radical left Afro-Americans, radical left Hispanics, and radical Muslims, rather than appeal to Jewish and pro-Israel Christian voters.
