LOL!!! Killary compares BDS movement with evil Pharaoh

SPUTNIK NEWS  –  In a recent article published in the Times of Israel, Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton used an analogy of the Passover story to reassure Israel of her support, echoing Netanyahu’s calls to counter the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

Citing the ancient story of how the Jews gained their freedom from slavery in Egypt, Clinton compared BDS with the “Pharaoh” who “denied the Israelites the right to worship as they chose.”

“International efforts to malign and isolate the Jewish people — like the alarming ‘BDS’ movement — are gaining steam,” the former Secretary of State wrote two days prior to the crucial New York Democratic primary.

Brant Rosen, co-chair of the Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) Rabbinical Council, criticized Clinton’s passage, referring to her analogy as “cynical.”

“It feels more than a little galling to be given such a politically cynical Torah lesson by a candidate running for the highest office of the world’s largest superpower,” Rosen told AlterNet, “I’d say she’s got her Pharaoh all wrong: America and Israel are the overwhelmingly more powerful and oppressive parties in this equation.”
