Hillary Clinton: Differences with Israel would be dealt with ‘in private’

ed note–I am sometimes asked if there is a chance we are going to get through this mess alive, and my answer invariably is that our chances are almost identical–but indeed, not as good–as it was for those who were onboard the Titanic as it was sinking and there were only enough lifeboats for less than half the passengers.

The reason I maintain this view is explained thus–when you go to the doctor for a check-up, one of the things he/she will do is to test the body’s reflexes, to see if the pupils constrict/dilate, to see if the knee kicks outward when struck and if the gag reflex works when the tongue is depressed. These things are done in gauging the overall health of the body’s nervous system, given that the reaction is the byproduct of impulses that travel directly from the affected body part to the spinal cord, triggering an automatic motor response that than travels directly back to the affected area.

Having said this, when looking at the health of the ‘body’ in the political/social/cultural sense, there are no healthy reflexes that exist anymore. Hillary Clinton is the most dangerous woman alive today for every man, woman, and child on earth. Her greed–working in tandem with her ambition and her feminism–coupled with the blood of all innocent people she has shed, absolutely guarantees that as president, she will almost assuredly execute whatever demands come her way by organized Jewish interests, which MUST by definition include more war in the Middle East and beyond.

And yet, people throng to her rallies and embrace her as if she were a messiah of sorts and based purely (and only) on the fact that (a) she is a woman, and (b) she will make sure that legalized infanticide and other crimes that cry out to heaven for vengeance will continue unabated, all the while not realizing how their own lives–in a manner up close and very personal–are going to be seriously mal-affected by her becoming president. If the body’s reflexes were in good stead, a fever so hot that you could see the heat lines coming off of it would be raised by the presence of this woman on the political scene, but tragically, it is utterly absent.

Hillary Clinton said that as president, she would handle disagreements with Israel “in a respectfully and preferably private way” — a rare dig at how President Barack Obama handled the relationship.

“I think any disputes or disagreements should be handled in a respectfully and preferably private way, so we don’t give any aid and comfort to Israel’s adversaries or drive any wedges between us,” Clinton said in an extensive interview with the editorial board of the New York Daily News posted online Monday ahead of the April 19 primary in New York.

It was a contrast with Obama, who has said he believes it is healthy to air in public some differences with allies. Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have clashed over the Iran nuclear deal and the path toward Israeli-Palestinian peace.

Clinton, the front-runner in the bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, has otherwise hewed closely to the policies of Obama, whom she served in his first term as secretary of state and who remains popular among Democrats.

She said in the interview that like Obama and others before him, she saw settlement expansion as “not helpful” and that she would continue the policy of maintaining Israel’s qualitative military edge in the region.

Her rival for the nomination, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., also spoke at length with the editorial board last week. He also expressed strong support for Israel, but his remarks on what he called Israel’s disproportionate response during the 2014 Gaza war stirred controversy.
