Clinton: I'll be a better friend to Israel than Obama


Politico reports the leading Democratic candidate for US president has been emphasizing her support of Israel in recent private conversation with Jewish donors.

WASHINGTON - Hillary Rodham Clinton, the leading Democratic candidate for president of the United States, has been trying to convince Jewish donors in private conversations that she will be a better friend to Israel than President Barack Obama, Politico reported on Friday.

One of the donors at a Manhattan fundraising last week said Clinton defended Obama against accusations he had harmed US-Israel relations, saying this criticism comes from a "perception" problem, but also suggested that as president, she could bring the two nations closer together.

 

"Diplomacy is all about personal relationships, and I've got my own relationships," Clinton was quoted as saying, referring to her relationships with two of Obama's bigger critics in Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli ambassador to the US Michael Oren.

At a fundraiser in Long Island, Democratic donor Jay Jacobs said Clinton "did stress in no uncertain terms her full and fervent support of the state of Israel and the defense of the state of Israel. And the people in the audience who heard it seemed to be comfortable with her answer."

 
Politico reported, however, that when pushed about the issue of the nuclear negotiations with Iran, Clinton has provided vague answers which left Jewish donors with various interpretations about her positions.

 
One of the donors, a supporter of a deal with Iran, quoted Clinton as saying she was "very supportive of the negotiating process," while another said she highlighted her role in starting the talks during her tenure at the State Department.
 
 
Clinton was also quoted by billionaire hedge fund manager Marc Lasry as saying about the possible deal with Iran, "I'm going to do what's in the best interest of the US."

She didn't do very well during her years as Sec of State and if people just think back a few years they will know she is lying. The devil could be a better friend to Israel than Obama so that isn't much of a yardstick to go by. I will never know how even one person in this country could vote for this disaster but I have to keep reminding myself we don't have voters who even remotely know what they are doing when they vote.

As an American of Jewish heritage, I'm far more concerned about how Israelis are impacted by American foreign policy than what billionaire hedge fund managers in the Hamptons think about it.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

She's really setting the bar high there. It's almost not touching the floor.

Yes, her love affair with Arafat and his odious wife remind us of how much she just loves Israel.
