Israel Can Thank Hillary For Hamas Terror Tunnels
Investors Business Daily ^ | 08/04/2014 | Editorial

Mideast: Finally, the president has scolded Hamas for using its tunnels to attack Israel. But he should also fault his former secretary of state. It was Hillary Clinton who aided their construction.

Rewind to 2012.

Then, as now, Hamas terrorists in Gaza were raining rockets on Israeli towns. Eight days of cross-border fighting claimed 166 Palestinian and six Israeli lives.

Just 48 hours before Israeli troops planned to invade Gaza, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton brokered a cease-fire. She flew to the region and met with Israeli and Palestinian leaders and announced a peace deal from Cairo.

The cease-fire held, and Washington headlines trumpeted the exiting secretary's parting feat.

"Hillary Clinton scores Gaza cease-fire success," Politico.com said.

"Clinton got a Gaza cease-fire right at the moment hope seemed dead for a rapid end to the violence — and next time, President Obama will probably have to do it without her," the news site gushed.

Only, the cease-fire didn't really hold.

That's because the deal Clinton brokered required Israel to ease its blockade of building materials and other dual-use goods bound for Gaza, which is ruled by the terrorist group Hamas.

Israel had banned construction goods because Hamas used them to build an underground network of weapons depots, bunkers and rocket-launching pads.

But Clinton naively believed Hamas leaders' pledge that such supplies would go to bridges, hospitals and schools. And so the successful five-year Israeli blockade was lifted.

Her antiSemitic Majesty’s husband forced Israel to sign
a worthless treaty with a terrorist who murdered Americans
making Gaza allegedly demilitarized.

Hillary will now claim to be as skeptical of Hamas as she was with Putin. Col. Klink should be looking over his shoulder at this potential new savvy commandant.

Another Hillary accomplishment to add to her resume. That with botching the 3:00 AM Benghazi telephone call.

I doubt whether The Rodham "naively" does anything. She always does stuff to assure a future for herself.

I do believe that she crafted the ceasefire on purpose.

She’ll probably say they had to build underground because their land is so small! ;}

Hill is not smart. She is indoctrinated. Her Marxist training is of the highest order.

Just remember who her body-girl is: Huma Abedin. And Huma’s family connections to Hamas/terrorist groups. Ding!

Hillary Clinton is a drunken POS. An embarrassment, even more so than Kerry to this Nation.

Remember that Hillary has a history of jew-hating.

Didn’t 60 Minutes do a pity party story on these tunnels years ago? Something about how these poor people got food from the tunnels?
