Israel furious at Hillary Clinton's concern for democracy in country
Telegraph ^ | 05 Dec 2011 | Phoebe Greenwood

Israeli government ministers have reacted with fury to comments made by Hillary Clinton expressing her concern for the state of democracy in Israel and the status of Israeli women.

The US Secretary of State reportedly criticised legislation proposed by Benjamin Netanyahu's government that would curb funding from international bodies to organisations working to promote human rights withn Israel.

She told the audience of US and Israeli officials on Saturday of her shock on hearing reports of gender segregation on buses operating in Jerusalem, which she claimed was "reminiscent of Rosa Parks", the African American woman who refused to give up her seat on to white passengers on a bus in 1950s America.

Mrs Clinton went on to claim that recent incidents of gender discrimination against female Israeli soldiers reminded her of the situation facing women in Iran.

The Obama administration wants women everywhere to be treated in an enlightened, Islamic way. Let Saudi Arabia be our guide, not a backwards nation like Israel, with their old 20th century ways ...

No government should fund any NGO

Hillary's real problem is with Jews, specifically Orthodox Jews, who in many situations practice gender discrimination. While absurd, perhaps the comparison to Iran is a function of her, and her boss' affection for toltarian Islamic states. After all, they're working hard to create on in Egypt. Then again, she might just be dissed because Israel has had several female Prime Ministers, and the US electorate left her at the alter.

I tend to agree, but that inhibits the left from interfering with cross border electoral politics. Actually Israel isn't banning it, they're taxing it. But if, for example, the Clinton's want to send James Carville over again to campaign against Netanyahu, they don't want to pay a tax.

Both a “possible correction” because it is late and also a translation to what I am saying, could Sec. of State Hilary be REALLY JEALOUS of one Rep. Michelle Bachmaun’s effort to run for the JOB Sec. Hilary REALLY WANTED?

The Obama administration are nothing but a bunch of muslims and socialist Jew-haters. You can tell Israel is just trying to outlast this gang of human garbage.

Don’t worry, Israel. There’s plenty more human excrement in future administrations as the dumbed-down American populace votes for more entitlements and class warfare.

The “Gender Discrimination” is to protect women, respect Orthodox Freedom of religion, and is a free choice made by the riders of the bus.

What part of:
Respect,
Freedom of Religion,
Freedom of Choice,
Customer Preference,
and
Protection of Women,

Does Hillary NOT understand?

She ought to be a little more focused on gender segregation in the rest of the Mideast.

Dearest Nachum.
She unveils herself more and more.
She’s really not much different from the Marxist. Both Alinsky disciples.

It is time for the Obamateam to community organize a leftist uprising in Israel against the evil BiBi “regime” now. Obammy has laid out his terms for the “peace” agreement and knows BiBi won’t obey.

That is what they are doing - beginning a public campaign to turn Americans and Israelis against the “oppressive regime” in Israel. It’s Israel’s fault (Bi Bi’s fault) Muslims hate Jooooos, they proclaimed through Panetta. Then Hillary adds that BiBi is abusing women - a human rights violator. Hold onto your hats.
