Hillary: Israel Lacks 'Empathy,' 'Generosity' Toward Palestinians
Breitbart ^ | 12/1/12 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 12/01/2012 7:35:15 PM PST by Nachum

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has never been a friend to Israel. Today, speaking at the 2012 Saban Forum on US-Israel Relations, a liberal organization, she railed against Israel for supposed insensitivity, lack of empathy, and lack of generosity with regard to the Palestinians – even as the Palestinians unilaterally violated all agreements with Israel and attempted to declare statehood, and within days of Hamas firing rockets on Israeli population centers and bombing a bus.

Here’s what she said:

So, look, I’m not making excuses for the missed opportunities of the Israelis, or the lack of generosity, the lack of empathy that I think goes hand-in-hand with the suspicion. So, yes, there is more that the Israelis need to do to really demonstrate that they do understand the pain of an oppressed people in their minds, and they want to figure out, within the bounds of security and a Jewish democratic state, what can be accomplished.

Israel has handed over broad swaths of territory to the “dispossessed” Palestinians (a huge percentage of whom are Egyptian, Syrian, and Jordanian, or the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of those who left Israel in 1948 and were purposefully not absorbed by the Arab world). Israel has legitimized terrorists like Yassar Arafat in a desperate attempt to broker peace. Israel has sacrificed its own security for twenty years attempting to come to some sort of solution. Israel has accepted the threat of rockets hitting its major cities. Israel has done the job of the anti-Semitic Palestinians by forcibly removing Jews from their homes in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, making those territories Judenrein. There is no occupation of the Gaza Strip – and it is now the dominion of Hamas. Israel has propped up the Palestinian Authority with weapons and cash and supplies –

Hey, Cankles, let’s see how much empathy you would have for people that blew up your friends, neighbors and family. Oh, and these same people not only don’t apologize when one of their own murders and maims a dozen or more children from your neighborhood, but they throw a mass celebration and encourage their kids to do the same.

You stupid, anti-semitic bitch.

In the analogous case, I would charge that Hillary lacks empathy with al-Qaeda.

Thanks Nachum.

Bibi, it's time to break relations with the US; first, call home the ambassador for consultations, and summon the US ambassador for a good tongue-lashing. If Hillary's not publicly reprimanded for her remarks, kick out the steaming stool Zero sent for "our" rep, and shutter the Israeli embassy here.

Then start bunker-busting the Hizzies in Lebanon, a preemptive strike of sorts, really retributive against a stateless enemy in an undeclared war. Then let Hillary try to figure out whether to recognize the Syrian jihadists, it'll be fun!

You would be wrong. Contrary to what has been reported and printed over and over and over, the gunrunning that was/is being done from Libya through Turkey has not mostly been to the Syrian ‘rebels’. It has been to the hamas in Gaza for use against Israel.
If anyone wants EVER to understand what happened in Benghazi, they need to understand that had the ‘plan’ succeeded as it was first scripted, Israel would have been blamed for Benghazi and the American deaths which would have numbered over forty had it not been for the ex Navy SEALS.

Does anyone believe a violent, backward people like the Palestinians would be able to operate a viable, democratic country even if the Jews left and everything was handed to them? The natural urge of all Islamists is to destroy progress and kill free thinkers. Within five years of the Jews leaving and the Palestinians completely taking over, like Gaza is now, “Israel” would be just another third world pesthole run by violent Islamists. But who would they blame their problems on then?

So we see America joining with the rest of the world in turning against Israel in fulfillment of the Scriptures.

It'll be interesting to see how the judgments on this country that have been ongoing for the past few years begin to increase.

Hillary hasn’t changed. It has always been there, sometimes deep under the surface, sometimes not so deep.

I can understand the logic for the claim that the guns were actually targeted for Gaza. I’m not able to understand a scenario where Israel gets the blame for the loss of our ambassadorial staff.

Can you link me to some information that backs either theory?

If it’s out there, I’d like to read about it.

Before anything was ever really known about the idiotic video that obama and his cohorts blamed for the so-called uprisings in Cairo that supposedly spread throughout the ME which was the COVER STORY for Benghazi, the filmmaker was touted by the administration AND the world press as an ISRAELI ZIONIST JEWISH BILLIONAIRE who hated muslims.
That was the story until Walid Shoebat exposed the truth about him. He turned out to be the partner of a falsestinian terrorist who just happened to be Walid Shoebat’s first cousin.
Add to that that the man was a convicted felon who was also and fbi asset.
The whole idea was to blame the Jews and ultimately Netanyahu and the Israelis for inciting muslim violence against Americans. That is why obama deliberately snubbed Netanyahu at the UN and refused to meet with him at all, even in Washington.
It set the stage for Benghazi and further isolation of Israel. Americans and others would have had no sympathy for Israel if forty + Anericans had been murdered in Benghazi...which would have been the result had the ex SEALS not disobeyed orders and gone to their rescue.
If not for Shoebat, they would have gotten away with it.

Innocence of Muslims made by Terrorists
Shoebat ^ | 9/25/12 | Walid Shoebat

Excerpt:
There is more to the story of Nakoula Basseley Nakoula than what we are told by the media. Court documents reveal that Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, producer of the movie Innocence of Muslims, partnered in a scheme with Eiad Salameh, my first cousin, a Palestinian Muslim from Beit Sahour in the Palestinian district of Bethlehem.

I had forgot about that story.

You are correct, I remember hearing those reports.

Ubama, Hilary and their are truly despicable!

They plot against G-d himself. I anxiously await the day they face his judgement.

coordinated with the mb through obama. That the weapons that were supposedly going to Syria were actually being diverted to gaza through Turkey to Egypt...and the EX SEALs were in Benghazi to stop it.

Looted Libyan arms flooding into Gaza
8:10PM BST 23 Aug 2011

The past months of unrest have already seen a flood of weaponry seized from Col Muammar Gadaffi’s troops and army stores into the increasingly volatile Egyptian Sinai.

Israeli military intelligence reports that much of the smuggled arsenal has been looted by jihadist elements and is making its way into Gaza through the tunnels at Rafah.

A senior Israeli official confirmed on Monday that while the majority of Gaza’s arsenal comes from Iran via Sudan, a rise in arms arriving from Libya is “an additional preoccupation”.

“Some of the weaponry coming from Iran enters Gaza by sea but all of the weapons from Libya are passing into Gaza by land, through the tunnels from Egypt.

Much more.
