(Meant to send this directly to many of you)

OK, this will make your blood run cold wondering what statement Hilary was making, because the color orange in Israel is highly charged:

Orange is the official color of the Arab Balad Party, which does not recognize Israel as a soverign state and whose goal is establishing Arab Nationality. During the 2005 Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza strip, the Balad party figured prominently and went so far as to try to forbid Israeli citizens from wearing “their” color, orange.

The Israelis, a people after my own heart in so many ways, collectively gave Balad the the finger by turning orange into their protest color, with orange riboons and T-shirts everywhere, which I’m sure enraged them.

Google it up, and if I got any of this wrong, someone let me know.

That’s interesting, but I think her orange suit is just a leftover from the DNC convention.
