Good!!

I love it! Someone finally having the balls to speak up in support of Palestinians in Gaza. That someone? Hilary Clinton.

It's about time someone stands up and let's the state of Israel know that not everything they do is okay.

Criticize Israel? Oh no! You must be a hateful holocaust denying anti-Semite!! Any American politician who questions any action of Israel is in the cross hairs of committees and subjected to finger wagging from folks like these in the article below.

Jewish Leaders Blast Clinton Over Israel Criticism
Zuckerman, Lawmakers, Local Jews Say Secretary Of State Not The Hillary Clinton They Used To Know
Hillary Pressuring Israel To Speed Up Aid To Gaza

NEW YORK (CBS) ―

In a swift about face from her views as New York's senator, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is now hammering Israel over its treatment of Palestinians in Gaza.

As First Lady, Clinton raised eyebrows when she kissed Suha Arafat.

Since she was then seeking a Senate seat the resulting brouhaha caused her to "re-think" her positions.

"I'm a very strong supporter of Israel," Clinton said back in February 2000.

On Thursday, as Secretary of State she had yet another about face in the form of angry messages demanding Israel speed up aid to Gaza. Jewish leaders are furious.

"I am very surprised, frankly, at this statement from the United States government and from the secretary of state," said Mortimer Zuckerman, publisher of the New York Daily News and member of the NYC Jewish Community Relations Council.

"I liked her a lot more as a senator from New York," Assemblyman Dov Hikind, D-Brooklyn, said. "Now, I wonder as I used to wonder who the real Hillary Clinton is."

Clinton's decision to hammer Israel comes as the Clintons and President Barack Obama are planning to give the Palestinians $900 million toward the rebuilding of Gaza in the wake of the Israeli offensive that was sparked by Hamas rocket fire.

"We are working across the government to see what our approach will be," Clinton said.

"I don't believe that we should be in a position at this point to do anything to strengthen Hamas," Zuckerman said. "We surely know what Hamas stands for as I say they are the forward battalions of Iran."

For some, Clinton's change of position is upsetting.

"I feel it's unfortunate that they don't continue the policy of the Bush administration, which was much more pro-Israel," said Akiva Homnick of Jerusalem.

"I happen to have a lot of family who live in Israel and I feel, personally, when you are dealing with people who are very strong against you, you have to stand up to them," said Tami Davudoff of Kew Gardens.

"Hillary had Mrs. Arafat here and she invited Mrs. Arafat for lunch when she was the first lady," added Babak Chafe of Great Neck. "She is pro-Palestinian 100 percent, really. Of course, we always knew it."

"The easy way to make a peace agreement is to pressure Israel because you can't pressure the Arabs," said Solomon Loewi of Monsey, N.Y.

All this could lead to a chilly reception when Mrs. Clinton arrives in the Middle East next week.

The new U.S. envoy to the Middle East, George Mitchell, arrived in Israel on Thursday with a mission to inject new life into peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.

Let's just remember Hillary's public comments are not her own now.
She has no real power. She is the cabinet representative of Obama's foreign policy for the US.
Her job is to carry his policies to the world.
Her policies will be his policies or she can be replaced.

Go Obama!!!

hmmm, isn't it funny how the government that is running israel are all zionists? that's a fact!!! check it out before you put your foot in your mouth.

Gotta' go with the Bible on this one.
Anyone screws with th' Jews is in for some big-time $hit wid da' Big Man.
And dat ain't Obama.

The goal is to find peace in the region.

The question is how it can be done without the resort of violence.

It's about time that US policy stops supporting the massive human rights violates that Isreal has been committing!

these are as much jews as you would be if you converted to judaism.
they came from russia and are of turkish decent. google 'jews against zionism' and you will find that the actual mideastern jews that were in the palestine region before the zionists created israel, are getting very upset about this whole thing. they are going all over the world protesting the use of their religion for the furtherence of the zionist cause.

Our goverment spends more money on their citizens than they do our own citizens

There are women giving birth at security check points because soldiers won't let them through. They are building walls through communities and separating families. They are building walls to enclose small settlements where a person can barely get through the opening, let alone a vehicle or pull cart.

I am ashamed that the US has supported Israel doing these atrocities.

Obama

this was covered up so that the american people wouldn't know how powerful the israeli government is over american policies. they got real upset when this leaked out and tried to clean it up. this is ehud olmert the former prime minister of israel.

that was the vote to end the gaza invasion by the israelis that ehud was talking about.

Bush is gone!

Israel's next government will be 'more Jewish and more Zionist'
By Haaretz Service and Reuters

Israel's next government will be "more Jewish and more Zionist", the confident faction leader of the right-wing National Union party declared Thursday, following coalition talks with members of Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party.

"There was very positive atmosphere at the meeting [with Netanyahu]," said Yaakov Katz, as he emerged from the talks at Kfar Maccabiah in central Israel. "...There is an understanding with Likud that the next government will be more Jewish and more Zionist."

Netanyahu, who was tapped to form the next government following national elections two weeks ago, initially turned to mainstream Kadima and Labor, but was rebuffed. Some Kadima members are, however, rebelling against party leader Tzipi Livni's determination to sit in opposition, and urging her to join a Likud-led coalition.
But a senior member of Likud said Thursday that differences over Palestinian statehood are likely to scupper Netanyahu's efforts to forge a broad government with Livni.

"There is across-the-board agreement on Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas but there is a big gap between Kadima and Likud on the two states for two people. It's unsolvable," Silvan Shalom, a senior Likud legislator and former foreign minister, told Army Radio.

Netanyahu plans to meet Livni on Friday in another attempt to recruit Kadima. He wants to shift the focus of U.S.-sponsored peace talks from thorny territorial issues that would set the boundaries of a state to shoring up the Palestinian economy.

Netanyahu has said any Palestinian state must have only limited sovereignty and be demilitarized.

Livni has said Kadima would not join a government that does not commit clearly to a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

As Israel's chief negotiator with the Palestinians in the outgoing government, Livni has been at the forefront of a land-for-peace process whose declared aims are to achieve a viable Palestinian state and security for Israel.

"Unfortunately the answers we are receiving from Kadima leaders is that there is no chance of her changing her position. And it seems that tomorrow she will say a final 'no'," Silvan Shalom told Army Radio.

Asked about Shalom's remarks, a Kadima spokeswoman said Livni's position was unchanged.

"turkish" descendants? I would say that's far out, just a conspiracy theory. Most of the immigrants coming to Israel are from Europe/Russia/USA. Unless you go after the "Khazar" from "Khazaria" theory, which is far out another conspiracy theory. Those people are long gone, melted into the population of Europe/Russia/Asia. So if the immigrant Jews in Israel as much turkish descents as many of Europe/Russia and Asia.
The closest thing you'd find "turkish" descents are the Turkish. Another would be the Hungarians, who came from the border regions of the Khazar Empire, once were part of it. Then in this case if you believe that theory, then I'm the closest thing to a 'Khazar'.

well, i'm familiar with the khazar theory you talk about. apparently there is much talk about that one. i don't know what the truth on that one is. but i know that the jewish settlers that came from russia and poland were first indoctrinated into the judaic religion and not direct decendents of judah like the ones that were originally from the middle east. the funny thing that people are forgetting is that there were twelve tribes of israel, not just the tribe from judah. just because we lost track of where they all went doesn't mean that the jewish community are the only israelites. i wish there was more research on the lost tribes of israel. because we might find out that most of us, jewish or not, are israelites.

he might still be here in spirit though, let's see how this plays out. obama is bush's cousin ya know. that he even said so himself in one of his campaign speeches. someone brought it up to him during the q&a session and he elaborated on that. i can give you the link to the video. in fact he has 6 U.S presidents in his geneology. here is the link.
