Hillary Clinton Wants to Improve Ties With Israel
New York Times ^ | 03/29/2015 | By MAGGIE HABERMAN

Posted on 03/30/2015 7:14:15 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told a representative of a group of prominent Jewish leaders on Sunday that she wanted to put the relationship between the United States and Israel back on “constructive footing,” the representative said.

Mrs. Clinton’s comments, made in a phone call to Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, contrasted in tone from recent remarks by members of the Obama administration, who have publicly criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel amid tensions over a nuclear deal with Iran and comments Mr. Netanyahu made in the final days of his re-election campaign this month.

“Secretary Clinton thinks we need to all work together to return the special U.S.-Israel relationship to constructive footing, to get back to basic shared concerns and interests, including a two-state solution pursued through direct negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians,” Mr. Hoenlein said in a statement issued by his organization on Sunday evening. “We must ensure that Israel never becomes a partisan issue,” he quoted her as saying. Mrs. Clinton knows Mr. Hoenlein from her time in the Senate.

A spokesman for Mrs. Clinton confirmed that she had spoken to Mr. Hoenlein, but would not elaborate on what they had discussed or say if he had quoted her accurately.

Hillary Clinton’s comments are her first on the United States- Israeli relationship to be made public since Mr. Netanyahu’s re-election on March 17, when the strains between the two countries reached their height in the days surrounding the election

Hey, Hillary. How about another reset button? It worked soooo well the first time you tried it.

Somewhere in the past isn’t The Beast on record as having called someone a “blankety-blank Jew”?

“constructive footing,”

So, Hitlery! is saying that Økerry's footing is destructive??? Of course not, she (the Suha Arafat kisser, thru her "representative") must mean Bibi is destructive.

How much are they willing to pay her for her influence? It’s the Clinton Law of Campaign Financing.

And remember this is from someone who likes to talk like a southerner or be a New York Yankees fan or discuss her Jewish ancestry whenever need be.

This is the beginning of the “Separation of Hillary and Obama”. There is going to be a whitewash campaign launched where she will distance herself from anything unpopular and glom on to anything that she thinks will win her points. Predictable and the MSM will pitch in to help.

Hildebeast needs to quit worrying about Israel and start worrying about keeping Trey Gowdy from putting her fat butt in prison.

Can we trust these ‘prominent Jewish leaders’ to see through the lies? I certainly hope so because there really is no excuse for failing to see Hillary! for what she is.
