Former President Bill Clinton calls out ‘young Arab Americans’ and defends Israel at appearance in swing state-Michigan
NY Post ^ | 10/31/2024 | Olivia Land

A frail-looking Bill Clinton called out “young Arab Americans” in a hoarse defense of Israel’s deadly war against Hamas in Gaza during a stump speech in Michigan — a swing state with a large Arab population, which has made Israel policy a major issue.

“The hardest issue here in Michigan is the Middle East,” Clinton, 78, shakily told the crowd at a “Souls to the Polls” event in Muskegon Heights in western Michigan Wednesday morning, according to Michigan Live.

“I understand why young Palestinians and Arab Americans here in Michigan think too many people have died. I get that,” he continued, adding that it was difficult to assess “how many [deaths] is enough to punish them [Hamas] for the terrible thing they did?”

“The people there were the most pro-friendship with Palestine, the most pro-two state solution of any of the Israeli community, were the ones right next to Gaza, and Hamas butchered them,” Clinton lamented, referring to the’ Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack on southern Israel in which Hamas killed 1,200 people and kidnapped 250 others.

It looks like Clinton has not forgotten the dagger buried deep in his back when he was president.

I’m starting to wonder what Camela did to Bubba. He’s let slip several truths recently.

Getting the impression that both Joe Biden and Bill Clinton are doing what they can to undermine Kamala Harris each for their own reasons.

It's what she didn't do.

These things don’t just happen.

Biden clearly has been undermining her, Clinton too but he’s a lot slicker than demented diaper Joe.

Bill Clinton was actually very good for Israel so its nice to see him defend Israel..but yeah in Michigan with the largest arab population, you can bet Harris is thinking “Damn, that STD prick is f*cking with us again”

If those are your friends, you’re your own worst enemy.

Bill: Kamala, You're not going to believe this. It happened again.

Kamala: It? It? What the **** is it?

No, Billy! There is no it!

It is you! You happened again. Damn it Billy! This election was mine.

...thus pointing out that the two state delusion hasn't and doesn't work, oh, and btw you Arabs, Harris and Biden talk about putting pressure on Israel, but continue to support it -- which is odd, because Israel is a US ally.

Seems Clinton is trying to remind Arabs in Michigan not to vote for Harris.
