Hillary Clinton, friend of Israel? Puleez

The Hill reports: “Hillary Clinton and Vice President Biden will be among the attendees at a Washington forum on Israeli-U.S. relations this weekend. Both will speak to the Saban Forum, an annual event organized by the Brookings Institution and entertainment mogul Haim Saban. Saban is also a major political donor who has pledged to support the former secretary of State should she run for president in 2016.”

Hillary Clinton, just like President Obama in the run-up to the 2008 race, will present herself as a good friend of Israel. But is she? Recall some of the details of her tenure.

She gleefully joined in the ongoing pile-on concerning Israel’s housing, blithely referring to apartments in Jerusalem neighborhoods certain to be in the Jewish state in any peace agreement as “settlements.” She ignored an existing agreement between the United States and Israel that allowed for new building that did not expand the footprints of Israeli housing in disputed areas. She routinely exaggerated the extent of building, ignoring Israel’s restraint and its self-imposed ban on new building. (She continued to do so after leaving office.) While the United States did veto on her watch a United Nations Security Council resolution condemning Israel for building, it came with a denunciation of Israel unprecedented in its harshness.

For example, Obama is clearly a disciple of Saul Alinsky. But he never met Alinsky. Hillary did. She actually worked with Alinsky. And they became close enough to maintain a correspondence.

That scene where the young HRC sits down and talks with Alinsky is portrayed in Dinesh D'Souza's film America. HRC was so impressed with him that she wrote her college thesis at Wellesley about Alinsky and his movement.

Obama was too young and probably too far away from Chicago to have met with Alinsy before Alinsky died in the 1970s.

she would like us to forget about it completely and I dont think we can afford to let that happen.

Amen.

Hilliary, like her hubby learned the trade well. Always pretend to be sincere, with hand on heart. She is no friend of Israel or America.
