I hope Bill Clinton continues running his mouth!

Former President Bill Clinton delivered an impassioned defense of both his own foreign policy legacy and that of his wife, Hillary Clinton, who is currently the Democratic front runner for presidential elections later this year.
During a Friday campaign event in Ewing Township, New Jersey, Clinton was heckled over his wife's support for Israel - prompting the former president to hit back, blaming the Palestinians for turning down generous peace offers.
"She and the Muslim Brotherhood president of Egypt stopped the shooting war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza," Clinton responded to the heckler, who had shouted "What about Gaza?" according to Politico.
When the spectator continued protesting - citing comments in which Hillary Clinton rejected Donald Trump's position of staying "neutral" - Bill Clinton responded: "Depends on whether you care what happens to the Palestinians as opposed to the Hamas government and the people with guided missiles."
"They were human beings in Gaza," the heckler continued.
"Yes, they were," Clinton fired back. "And Hamas is really smart. When they decide to rocket Israel, they insinuate themselves in the hospitals, in the schools, in the highly populous areas, and they are smart."
"They said they try to put the Israelis in a position of either not defending themselves or killing innocents," he added, citing Hamas leader's own boastful comments about the effectiveness of their human shield policy during 2014's war with Israel. "They’re good at it. They’re smart. They’ve been doing this a long time."
"I killed myself to give the Palestinians a state," Clinton asserted. "I had a deal they turned down that would have given them all of Gaza."

Frankly.....I think Clinton actually DID try like mad to achieve this and probably for mostly “the right” reasons. Maybe I am wrong.
He probably did not realize that the Pali negotiators were even bigger slimebags than he was.
If only.
Wasn’t that initiative involving Bubba right around Monica time???
Give Barak his due. He knew his Arabian body language.
He also tried “really hard” to give us a middle class tax cut too.
He’s done that before. Most likely you’re right.
And now they’ll always have Paris.
Well dang! Why didn't you succeed!! You could be in a box now!! And we be rid of you madman pedophile rapist!!
-—Netanyahu was willing to give almost everything to Arafat that Arafat demanded, but Arafat chose to launch the Intifada instead.-—
Wrong PM...off the top of my head it was Ehud Barak...
Try again.
If only....
At Camp David. Lousy footage of door fight.
Body language. Great footage of door fight.
You’re on that. I just remember Arafat going home and lying flat out about the whole thing.
He encouraged Hamas to start the Intifada, per Green Prince’s autobiography. Fatah itself did not get its hands dirty.
Sorry Bill. You stood more of a chance of killing yourself getting BJ’s.
It ain’t yours to give! Billie Bob!
and Jordan was set up to be for the Palestinan Arabs
He might have committed suicide for the PLA terrorists but it looks like he is too obstinate or too horny to shut up and fall over.
That was great! Thanks. I didn’t think of YouTube. I remembered it as a Rose Garden episode, but it has been so long perhaps my memory is faulty. I almost died when I saw it on TV because the commentator was clueless and apparently thought it was lighthearted. You’d think that the president would be briefed by his protocol droid and not allow even the opportunity for such a display. Clinton won and got what he wanted. Then, he sabotaged himself and his victory by continually inviting Arafat to the White House. What a diplomatic novice.
One way to avoid the whole affair would be to have everybody seated and then invite in the press. Then, make the press leave before announcing dinner was served.
Good point.
