Senator Clinton Speaks Up for Israel at U.N. Rally
New York Times ^ | July 17, 2006 | PATRICK HEALY

Posted on 07/17/2006 12:32:08 PM PDT by West Coast Conservative

Speaking at a boisterous rally for Israel near the United Nations headquarters this afternoon, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton said she supported taking “whatever steps are necessary” to defend Israel against Hamas, Hezbollah, Iraq and Syria in the military conflict in the Middle East.

Senator Clinton, addressing a crowd of several thousand people, said the United States must show “solidarity and support” for Israel in the face of the “unwarranted, unprovoked” seizure of three Israeli soldiers by members of Hamas and Hezbollah, which she referred to as among “the new totalitarians of the 21st century.”

“We will stand with Israel because Israel is standing for American values as well as Israeli ones,” said Mrs. Clinton, who was joined by two dozen political and religious leaders on a stage along 42nd Street.

Mrs. Clinton, who is seeking re-election to the Senate and is considered a possible candidate for president in 2008, also compared Israel’s fierce response, which has included heavy bombardment of Lebanon, to a theoretical response by the United States if it faced attacks from neighboring countries.

“I want us here in New York to imagine, if extremist terrorists were launching rocket attacks across the Mexican or Canadian border, would we stand by or would we defend America against these attacks from extremists?” Mrs. Clinton said to roars of approval.

“We will support her efforts to send a message to Hamas, Hezbollah, to the Syrians, to the Iranians,” Mrs. Clinton said. “We will not permit this to happen and we will take whatever steps are necessary.”

“It is a message that we want not only those in the Middle East to hear, but the world, because no nation is safe from these terrorist extremists,” she said. “They do not believe in human rights, they do not believe in democracy.

Hillary Clinton's diary entry:

Dear Diary:

Today I made yet another attempt to "get to the middle" on political issues of the day. I hope that in 2008, my socialistic tendancies will be long forgotten by the general American public.

Oh, I am also a lesbian.

The End.

“We will stand with Israel because Israel is standing for American values as well as Israeli ones,”

It's just certain Jewish-American senators who feel similarly about protecting America don't get this kind of blessing from you, eh , Hill?

"o defend Israel against Hamas, Hezbollah, Iraq and Syria"

Iraq?

Freudian slip by the author who is used to bashing the U.S. over Iraq?

Did you know she's always been a big Yankee fan? Yeah, ever since the days she was growing up in Chicago, when she was a big Cubs fan except when she was a White Sox fan. But then, when the Buffalo Bills won the Stanley cup, she switched to be a big Yankees fan, because she just loves basketball, always has. Got it?

This is a puff piece for Hillary, but it won't go over well with the Democratic Kook base. The base has already written Hillary off, the IOWA poll showed it.

“We will not permit this to happen and we will take whatever steps are necessary.”

Her slimey husband said the same words a dozen times when he was bonking bimbos in the WH. The bastard never delivered on his promise.

Does anyone have the list of terrorist activities under Slick's watch?

She often reminds me of a kindergarten teacher, as in Now class, "I want us here in New York to imagine, if extremist terrorists were launching rocket attacks across the Mexican or Canadian border, would we stand by or would we defend America against these attacks from extremists?”

The Rats can't have it both ways with support for the UN and Israel at the same time since the UN has failed to enforce commitments designed to protect Israel.

IMO, if the Hezbs were winning and held Israeli territory she would be supporting them. I just don´t think this women can tell the truth or has a conscience.

What is wrong with that "woman". She's in New York City and has to come up with a lame invention of Canada or Mexico firing rockets at the US? HE!!, there's still a big hole in the ground not more than two miles from where she stood. Why not us the World Trade Center bombing or would that possible remind too many people what our causus belli (sp) is in this matter?

From the other side of her mouth, her HINO, Bill Clinton called Israel's response "disproportional"

If, God forbid, the Arkansas Grifters retake the White House, just who would be calling the shots and making foreign policy?

This is, IMO, a serious flaw in Slickette's candidacy.
