Wanted billionaires to donate fortune to Palestinians
Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton considered a secret plan created by her then-advisers to foment unrest among Palestinian citizens and spark protests in order to push the Israeli government back to the negotiating table, according to emails released as part of the investigation into the Democratic presidential frontrunner’s private email server.
In a Dec, 18, 2011, email, former U.S. ambassador to Israel Thomas Pickering suggested that Clinton consider a plan to restart then-stalled peace negotiations by kickstarting Palestinian demonstrations against Israel.
Pickering described the effort as a potential “game changer in the region,†recommending that the United States undertake a clandestine campaign to generate unrest. Clinton requested that his email be printed.
“What will change the situation is a major effort to use non-violent protests and demonstrations to put peace back in the center of people’s aspirations as well as their thoughts, and use that to influence the political leadership,†Pickering wrote.
“This is far from a sure thing, but far, in my humble view, from hopeless,†he continued. “Women can and ought to be at the center of these demonstrations. Many men and others will denigrate the idea. I don’t and I don’t think that was your message.â€
Palestinian women, he noted, are less likely than men to resort to violence.
“It must be all and only women. Why? On the Palestinian side the male culture is to use force,†Pickering wrote, comparing the effort to the protests in Egypt that deposed former leader Hosni Mubarak. “Palestinian men will not for long patiently demonstrate — they will be inclined over time and much too soon to be frustrated and use force. Their male culture comes close to requiring it.â€
Pickering noted that the administration must keep its role in the demonstration a secret, so as not to aggravate ties with Israel.
“Most of all the United States, in my view, cannot be seen to have stimulated, encouraged or be the power behind it for reasons you will understand better than anyone,†he wrote, suggesting that the government enlist liberal non-profit groups in Israel. “I believe third parties and a number NGOs [non-government organizations] on both sides would help.â€
As relations with Israel remained tense, another Clinton confidant, Anne Marie Slaughter, sent a staff-wide email to Clinton staffers recommending that they undertake a “Pledge for Palestine†campaign aimed at convincing U.S. millionaires and billionaires to donate significant portions of their wealth to the Palestinian cause.
The effort, Slaughter wrote in the September 2010 email, could help shame Israel.
“Such a campaign among billionaires/multi-millionaires around the world would reflect a strong vote of confidence in the building of a Palestinian state and could offset the ending of the moratorium for Palestinians,†Slaughter wrote. “There would also be a certain shaming effect re Israelis, who would be building settlements in the face of a pledge for peace.â€
Slaughter, who described the effort as a “crazy idea,†suggested tapping the “Clinton fundraising network†in order to raise the money needed.
“With even 30 calls to the right people in the Clinton fundraising network it should be possible to generate a substantial enough amount quickly enough to capture the public imagination,†she wrote in the email, which was sent to top Clinton staffers, including Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin.
Oh Hilly.... you have some explainin’ to do. I guess the Jews were just necessary in your first race for Senate when the Bent One made that corrupt deal with the Hasidic Community in return for more votes.
Oh you better believe Obama and Biden were in on this too.
So. Nothing new here. She is the same as her ex-leader up on Pennsylvanian Avenue. They probably discussed this type of actions at some point. He hates Israel because he is a muzzlum. Hillary needs to go buy some burka pants suits and a hoodie because she will soon be wearing them and if she opens her mouth in the presence of males, they will stone her fat fanny to death. It is coming here folks. Hussein is doing his dead level best to bring millions of muzzies here. The next dim prez will do the same. If we get another dim prez this next election, then the Supreme Court IS GONE. Because all those old conservative men are in their 70s and 80s. They won’t last 8 more years on the court. Then the dim prez gets to appoint the most leftist justice they can find. Maybe even hillary herself.
It doesn’t matter what Hillary does or doesn’t do because a majority of Jews in the USA will still vote for her. The logic of which escapes me.
You just can’t fix stupid.
PING
I honestly do not understand why a good number of Jews (increasingly fewer and fewer though) remain on the Democrat plantation.
Republicans are way better advocates for Israel. By far.
Hillary Clinton is a terrorist.
And she is running for POTUS, expected to get the Dem nomination.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

I wonder if these efforts on the part of the American government motivated Israel's recent legislation requiring NGOs receiving more than 50% of their funding from foreign sources to identify themselves and their lobbyists. I suspect this was a significant effort, can't imagine the legislation is a coincidence. The US requires registration of foreign lobbyists, yet the US is said to be outraged by the new Israeli law. Odd.

Scum...How’s this working for you Debbie Wasserman Schultz?
