With Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu set to visit the White House next week, Hillary Clinton seeks to reassure the pro-Israel community that her Presidency will be more Israel-friendly than the current Administration.
In an op-ed published in The Forward entitled, “How I Would Reaffirm Unbreakable Bond With Israel — and Benjamin Netanyahu” Hillary says she loves Israel and in 1981, “Bill and I fell in love with Jerusalem as we walked the ancient streets of the Old City. Even amid all the history and traditions, it was a city pulsing with life and energy.”
Hillary notes that she promises to invite Netanyahu, or whoever the PM is, to the White House inside of a month:
“I will do everything I can to enhance our strategic partnership and strengthen America’s security commitment to Israel, ensuring that it always has the qualitative military edge to defend itself. That includes immediately dispatching a delegation of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to meet with senior Israeli commanders.”
While Hillary claims to be Pro-Israel, she does not address the fact that Sidney Blumenthal who just this week was referred to as the Clintons closest advisor has defended claims that Israel is Germany, and Israelis must leave Israel. Hillary & Blumenthal have exchanged what has been detailed as “rabid Anti-Israel correspondence”, and he has defended his son’s Anti-Israel work.
Max (Sid’s son) wrote a book that Eric Alterman of The Nation said “could have been published by the Hamas Book-of-the-Month Club (if it existed),” and he has compared Israelis to Nazis.
Hillary’s other close associate, Karen R. Adler signed an open letter to New York’s Mayor Bill De Blasio attacking him for aligning with AIPAC, noting “the needs and concerns of many of your constituents–U.S. Jews like us among them–are not aligned with those of AIPAC, and that no, your job is not to do AIPAC’s bidding when they call you to do so. AIPAC speaks for Israel’s hard-line government and its right-wing supporters, and for them alone; it does not speak for us.”
