Reality Check: Oval Office hides truths | JPost |
As guests go Netanyahu is one of the most unlikeable, and very little has changed since his first visit to Washington as prime minister in 1996. Back then, Bill Clinton was reported to have remarked after the two men’s meeting:
“Who the f** does he think he is? Who’s the f**ing superpower here?”
Hillary Clinton promises to cooperate with Netanyahu if she becomes President
As his visit to Washington approaches, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s claque in the U.S. is getting noisier and noisier by the minute. And Hillary Clinton is outfront.

Obama-Netanyahu meeting could benefit Hillary ClintonThere is also not a word about Palestinian suffering in Hillary Clinton’s piece in The Forward saying how she’ll reinvigorate the relationship with the Israeli PM as president: “How I Would Reaffirm Unbreakable Bond With Israel — and Benjamin Netanyahu”. Well at least she didn’t give an interview to Jeffrey Goldberg! She loves Israel; and Jews are suffering now.
On that first trip [in 1981; Bill Clinton was then in his first term as Governor of Arkansas], 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. I am appalled that those same streets are now filled with terrorism and fear. We now hear of daily stabbings and shootings of innocent civilians — teenagers, parents and senior citizens. Israelis have to look over their shoulders during everyday tasks, like carrying groceries and waiting for the bus.
She says nothing about occupation or denial of rights to Palestinians. They’re terrorists:
I wrote and co-sponsored bills that isolated terror groups, and pushed to crack down
on incitement in Palestinian textbooks and schools.She promises to invite Netanyahu, or whoever the PM is, to the White House inside of a month.
Hillary Clinton gains the support of Rupert Murdoch in her Senate race for New York and aspiration for the presidency in 2007; HRC has support of George Soros and Haim Saban.

My comment @TikunOlam – here.
Care for wounded during war has a long history from Florence Nightingale (Crimean War), the Red Cross / Red Crescent, Doctors Without Borders (MSF) and hospitals in war zones. The sanctuary of ambulances and hospitals has been layed down by the United Nations in Geneva Conventions. In recent times the U.S. , Israel and Palestinians have crossed the red lines of humanity.

Oui, what do you think of the official claim that the hospital was targeted by Afghan allies and the US military didn’t double check their claim that it was an enemy base?
Personally, even taking it on face value, I would have thought that after Korea, Vietnam, and Iraq, senior officers should have known better than to trust local intelligence or local troops!
It was a deliberate attack by US Special Forces in conjunction with Afghan elite troops. Was a well known location to forces on all sides and had been raided previously because Taliban fighters were also accepted and treated. Quite similar to the Israëli event. Arrogance of a nation and its armed forces … bending regulations, Geneva conventions and International Law.
Thank you. The claim rang rather hollow to me also.
Mossad operative Rupert Murdoch … If he were a politician, he would
be an accomplished Islamophobe at the level of Geert Wilders.
And HRC is in his pockets through political funds:
