State Dept. Insights on Mideast: Learn about Israel in Florida

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has sworn in U.S. President Barack Obama’s “peace advisor” Dan Shapiro as new ambassador and reveals the United States learns so much about Israel by spending time in Florida.

Shapiro served for two years and a half as White House senior director for Middle East and North Africa at the National Security Council and has been one of the president’s closest advisors during the period that the Middle East “peace process” has collapsed.

Amid lots of jokes and laughter, Secretary Clinton said at the ceremony Friday, “You’d be surprised how much you can learn about Israel and the challenges it faces by spending quality time in Palm Beach and Boca Raton" -- a reference to areas with large Jewish communities.

As far as I know, there are more Israelis in California than in the rest of the US combined. Perhaps there is confusion because of the erroneous American policy of recognizing “dual citizenship”?

“You’d be surprised how much you can learn about Israel and the challenges it faces by spending quality time in Palm Beach..."

Really? Are the people in West Palm Beach shooting rockets at them and trying to push them into the Atlantic?

Thanks Nachum. Gandhi would have been a convenience store operator in the Clintons’ Arkansas.
