WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton cautioned Israel's right-wing government on Thursday that it risked losing Arab support for fighting any threats from Iran if it shuns Palestinian peace talks.
Signaling U.S. impatience with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's reticence over peace talks, Clinton said Arab nations had made clear to her that Israel must be committed to the Palestinian peace process if it wants help countering Iran.
"For Israel to get the kind of strong support it is looking for vis-a-vis Iran, it can't stay on the sidelines with respect to the Palestinians and the peace efforts. They go hand in hand," she told the House of Representatives Appropriations Committee.

Why should they, when they have us and Israel?
Why we are “friends” with a single Arab country is beyond me.
Coddling our enemies and threatening our allies. Yes we can.

That idiot can’t figuh that Iran’s ultimate target is the great satan the US it wants to defeat.
Easily. Pakistans primary medium range weapon is the The Shaheen-III. It has a range of 4500+ KM. The middle of Pakistan to Tel Aviv is less than 3,500KM, well within range
I wish we the people could impeach the entire administration. It has to be the most incompetent in U.S. history.
Has she been asleep? It boggles the mind that it’s always Israel who must do more for peace with the Palestinians, never the Palestinians.
“Secretary of State Hillary Clinton cautioned Israel’s right-wing government on Thursday that it risked losing Arab support for fighting any threats from Iran if it shuns Palestinian peace talks.”
As usual she has things bass-ackwards.
It is she, Obama and the Arabs who will lose Israeli help in their pretense at talking “peace”, unless Obama and the Arabs agree to sit quiet, before and after, while Israel ends Iran’s nuke threat.

Arab support?
There's no doubt in my mind that Arab rulers from Iraq to Saudi Arabia to Egypt will be tickled to death if Israel eliminates the Persian shia threat to the region. Hillary knows far more about that than I do, but Hillary, SHUT UP. They're going to be forced to condemn the Zionists for a day or two, you and Barry will whine longer, but keep this stuff to yourself.
I’ll guarrantee you that in 2012 the liberal Jews in our society will still fall all over themselves to support Obama...even though his cabinet wants to sell Israel down the river..explain that one to me.
Unctuous Arabs setting up the perfect doublecross. And Clinton acts like she believes them. Geez.
One of them, yeah.
So will the USA.
LOL! She is as much of a joke as Obama is.
Yes, and what’s the giggling thing. She never did that.
