According to a recording obtained by the Observer, in 2006 Hillary Clinton told the editors of the Jewish Press: “I do not think we should have pushed for an election in the Palestinian territories. I think that was a big mistake. “And if we were going to push for an election, then we should have made sure that we did something to determine who was going to win.”
Two emails to Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta from Neera Tanden, head of the think tank Center for American Progress, lay bare the influence of Zionist money on the political process as nothing else has.
Jeffrey Goldberg says Jewish students are “ill equpped” and “anti-intellectual” in dealing with the Israel Palestine issue. In order to be thought of as liberal, they’re replacing the simplistic Leon Uris narrative with an equally simplistic anti Israel narrative.
Another hot Wikileaks email has broken out of the Clinton camp: Neera Tanden, a Clinton adviser, called Netanyahu a ruthless ‘wing nut’ and Israel ‘depressing’ after he won reelection in March 2015. A few months later she hosted him fawningly at the Center for American Progress.
Megadonor Haim Saban called Bernie Sanders “bad bad bad” on Israel and urged the Clinton campaign to research James Zogby and Jeremy Ben-Ami’s “awful” statements about Israel to get ‘ammunition’ against Bernie Sanders last winter, according to the latest email released by Wikileaks.
Latest wikileak’d email from Clinton campaign shows the intense pressure inside the campaign to pander to the Israel lobby. Draft of a Clinton letter on BDS praised Jews: “Jews have led the way on human rights and civil rights, always raising the bar. It is wrong to ignore this tradition and… undermine the legitimacy of Zionism.”
Latest Wikileaks emails from Clinton official show campaign removed several phrases showing sympathy to Palestinians living under occupation from draft of Clinton speech to the pro-Israel Saban Forum last year
Hillary Clinton’s Dec. 6, 2015 speech to the pro-Israel Saban Forum cut any cues about “how Israel is treating the Palastinians,” thanks to campaign chair John Podesta’s intervention.
Before she launched her run in 2015, Clinton’s braintrust resolved to keep Israel out of her speeches at public events with “dem activists” but “drop in Israel when she’s with donors.” A smoking gun about the distance between the people and the donors on Middle East policy.
Fans of disturbing discussion of nuclear warfare must’ve enjoyed the third and final presidential debate, because there was an alarming discussion of how the apocalypse would go down.
