Clinton Accuses Israel of Being Occupying Force
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | June 10 2014 | Adam Kredo

Posted on 06/10/2014 11:09:08 AM PDT by PoloSec

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton accuses Israel of being an occupying force in her new memoir Hard Choices and claims that the Jewish state denies “dignity and self determination” to Palestinians in the West Bank.

Clinton recalls being surprised by what she termed “life under occupation for the Palestinians,” according to the book.

Pro-Israel officials and insiders on Capitol Hill have called Clinton’s comments tone deaf and said that her claim that Israel is an occupying force reveals a bias against the Jewish state.

“When we left the city and visited Jericho, in the West Bank, I got my first glimpse of life under occupation for Palestinians, who were denied the dignity and self-determination that Americans take for granted,” Clinton writes.

Clinton’s comments demonstrate that she supports the Obama administration’s efforts to pressure and marginalize Israel, which current Secretary of State John Kerry recently accused of becoming an “apartheid state,” said one senior GOP Senate aide, who worked with Clinton when she was at the State Department.

“What we see here is the true Hillary Clinton, no longer muzzling herself for fear of reelection in New York or Senate confirmation fights—the woman who embraced Suha Arafat after smiling through anti-Semitic tirades,” said the former senior GOP Senate aide who for years battled Clinton’s State Department.

The source referred to a 1999 incident in which Clinton sat by smiling as the wife of former terrorist leader Yasser Arafat went on an anti-Israel tirade.

“This should put every American on notice that Hillary Clinton plans to continue Barack Obama’s failed Middle East policy that coddles terrorists and castigates democratic allies,” said the former official. “Clinton knows she lost to Obama in 2008 because she was outflanked by the left—she won’t make that mistake twice and she knows how much the left hates Israel.”

Clinton goes on to take aim at the Netanyahu government for not returning land to the Palestinians that she claims has been “occupied by Israel since 1967.”

Clinton is referring to territory seized by Israel in the 1967 Six Day War, in which Egypt, Jordan, and Syria attacked Israel from every side in a bid to destroy the Jewish state.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Clinton claims, is not serious about the peace process.

This claim has been echoed by senior State Department officials, several of whom have sought to blame Israel for the recent failure of peace talks.

“Netanyahu has been deeply skeptical of the Oslo framework of trading land for peace and a two-state solution that would give the Palestinians a country of their won in territory occupied by Israel since 1967,” Clinton writes.

One senior pro-Israel official who reviewed Clinton’s comments dubbed them as “troubling.”

“The quotes, which gives insight into Clinton’s thinking, are troubling,” the official told the Washington Free Beacon. “Most Americans, when they first experience the tiny distance separating average Israelis from enemies pledged to their destruction, immediately think of the difficult security situation that our allies have to negotiate. Not Clinton though.”

Clinton has come under fire from a pro-Israel group for not publicly condemning Kerry’s apartheid remarks about Israel, which were criticized by many Democrats.

The Bomb in the Basement revealed that it wasn’t until l’m 1958 that Israel gave up on Trotskyism and went with America.

With both Clinton & Obama anti Israel, AIPAC better start looking for a new ally.

All that lying would give me cancer. Democrats must have a special gene that protects them from the ill-effects of lying.

How does the Left mange to be on the wrong side of just about EVERY issue?

"The days are coming..." I feel like I'm hearing..."and are now here..." when of the spirit of anti-christ and those that follow it will manifestly appear in their opposition to the Spirit of Christ and those that follow Him.

Read Reese Howells: Intercessor to see that political and military battles (before and during WWII) are really battles in a spiritual warfare between darkness and light.

The Left is WRONG and in greater darkness all the time. The Christ-following sector of the Right IS RIGHT and "the glory of the Lord is rising upon them." (Isaiah 60:1-2.)

I hardly know where to begin. Okay, I’ll start here. One cannot be as consistently evil and counter-intuitive to the concept of right over wrong unless one is enslaved to tyranny and devoted to all things nasty, smelly, brutish, and unloving.

Her closest aide is a Muslim Brotherhood operative. Of course she smiled and nodded when the pedophile Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Egyptian Yassir Arafat went on a tirade against israel.

Hillary can’t be this stupid. It is not possible to complete third grade and be this stupid.

She, knowingly, with joy in her heart, would allow the destruction of the Joos that she has hated all her life.

She is in her own right, an anti-christ—not the anti-christ, but someone who will embrace all that an anti-christ espouses. She hates God, hates Jews, hates Christians, hates the military, hates the Secret Service, hates the United States, hates men, especially straight men, and she wants to get even with everyone who has ever crossed her cankle legs.

I should, in the interest of fairness, wait for a few days until her latest ghost written screed “Hard Choices” goes on the 50 cent table at Barnes and Noble, but having been subjected to her sociopathy since 1992, I expect her latest compendium of outrageous lies will run true to form.

The only way this piece of crap will make the bestseller list is if Bubba buys a million copies and burns them in the winter to stay warm.

In the interim, watch as the ashtray tosser continues to suck up to the satan worshipping muslims and pisses on the nation of Israel.

It is hard to recall a more despicable act than when she looked in the eyes of the Smith family and lied about the Benghazi “video” causing the attack.

That one act alone proves she is not qualified to be president or hold any public office for that matter.

Bought off to spread such lies by the same islamoNazi money We will never vote for this person. America needs some honest leaders ( with American values and integrity as human beings) for a change.
