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.

Clinton's contention is that Arabs won't help Israel with Iran. Of course, Clinton doesn't offer any suggestion or examples of how Arabs have influenced Iran in any other policy areas.

“Oh yeah, and the Arabs are ALWAYS ready to help Israel “

I was sitting in my favorite diner last fall and looked up when two people with Jews for Obama buttons came in. They had big smiles on their face. I remember thinking, what suicidal fools.

“it risked losing Arab support for fighting any threats from Iran”

Yes, and Mrs. Clinton risks losing the fidelity of her husband. What is that you say? She never had or will have the fidelity of her husband. Same situation.

I doubt the Arabs are too keen on having a nuclear armed Iran.

Here's a breaking news flash for ya Hillary...
Peace isn't a process, Palestinians aren't interested in peace, and like Obama, Arabs lie.

dirty little secret....the last thing the Sunnis in the Arab world want to see is a nuclear-armed Shia Iran. (the Saudis might even quietly slip Bibi a few billion to pull it off)

The Hildabeaste goes way beyond idiocy. All the way to pure unadulterated evil.

She and nobama are neck and neck in the arrogance race.

Hey madame secretary - tell it to the left wing American news media. They’re the only ones taking you seriously.

Yes, she can. Hilary had a long history of anti-Israeli positions long before she was even a Senator. In the last year or so of her liar-in-chief's administration, Hilary quietly moved towards the Israeli side of the equation in anticipation of her Senatorial run.
