Hillary Clinton: Israel has
‘lack of generosity … lack
of empathy’ for Palestinians

Daily Caller, by Gregg Re

Original Article

Posted By:StormCnter, 12/2/2012 5:31:20 AM

Speaking at a forum at the Saban Center for Middle East Policy in Washington on Friday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Israel is suspicious of Palestinians and doesn’t care enough about their plight. “I’m not making excuses for the missed opportunities of the Israelis, or the lack of generosity, the lack of empathy that I think goes hand-in-hand with the suspicion,” Clinton said, after praising the country’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, for working with her in 2009 to offer a moratorium on building new Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank.

Wrong! The Palestinians teach their children, from the womb, to hate and kill Israelis.

I half-expected the Hildabeest to quote Mayor Richard J. Daley´s gentle remark to Senator Abe Ribicoff at the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago [which I will not print here ´cause I wish to continue posting].

The Beast is awful, but at least the Dems are in lock-step in their hatred of Israel.

Lack of generosity and lack of empathy are code phrases for not paying enough their fair share and racist.

What if Netanyahu were to make a 50% offer -- allow the Palestinians to murder half the Jews in Israel. Would that be "generous" enough for Hillary?

When the Palestinian people rise up against Muslims who teach their children to blow themselves up in crowded Israeli restaurants, synagogues and towns, perhaps we can talk about who is generous and who is not.

Perhaps when Israelis begin targeting innocents civilians rather than targeting the military and terrorists who have openly said they want to wipe Israel off the map, we can discuss generosity.

Perhaps when the very goal of Palestinian terrorists is to target civilians -- children and women are not matter -- we may be able to talk "generosity".

In the meanwhile, Hillary Clinton should stop listening to her anti-Israeli American puppeteers and get real.

To say Israel isn´t generous is totally insane. When ever there´s a natural disaster Israeli doctors are among the first on the scene.

In a 2 state solution,Israel would be more than happy to offer aid to the Palestinians. This is a reckless and absurd comment.

FTA: “So, yes, there is more that the Israelis need to do to really demonstrate that they do understand the pain of an oppressed people in their minds, and they want to figure out, within the bounds of security and a Jewish democratic state, what can be accomplished,” Clinton added.

An oppressed people, really? The Palestinians have always been a pawn in the hands of Jewish hating Islamists. They need this so called "oppression" to justify their inbred hatred and gin up violence against Israel. This conflict is not about land. It is all about genocide. The Islamist will never seek peace with the Israelis because their goal is to wipe them from the face of the earth. They openly and enthusiastically say this. How do you negotiate with this mindset? Hillary and her fellow progs are no friend of Israel. They have thrown their lot in with the genocidal maniacs.

Agree #21, #22. It was and is plain as the nose on your face what this Democratic Party is all about these days. Obama is anti-Israel, Hildebeast is anti-anybody as long is it is politically feasible for her to get votes. Still the Jewish community fell hook line and sinker and voted the Democrats back into power this past election. I´m drained, it is up to God, we´ve done what we can, I think we´ve passed the tipping point.

Lack of generosity? Like the Arab nations the Palestinians originated from? I recall seeing an article in US News & World Report, in regards to the Palestinian origins. They are "refugees" from other Arab nations, kicked out/displaced, with an ulterior motive by the original hosting Arab country to be a pain in the side to Israel.

How about being objective, Hildebeast and asking the Arab nations, where the Palestinians originated from, to step up and be generous? This mentality that Isreal owes anything to the Palestinians, just because they want Israeli lands, is obsurd. Israel gave them Gaza, so where do the wants end? Well, we already know-the Palestinians want it all.

The Israelis have been far more compassionate to a deplorable bunch of primordial savages that are trying to kill them at every turn using any means at their disposal, than most cultures would be. When you try to help them they just bite the hand that feeds them. Remember what happened when they turned the Gaza strip over to them?

http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2005/09/these_greenhous.html

The Palis took over a well-run, prosperous area, (thanks to the Israelis) and like locusts proceeded to destroy the greenhouses and the sewage system, turning the strip into? yet another unproductive islamofascist slum. Then they proceeded to use it as a base to launch rockets at Israel...oh and of course dig tunnels.
As far as the Hillbag is concerned, how anyone could take that lying hag seriously is really beyond my comprehension. She is as two-faced as it gets... and both of them are ugly as sin!

I don’t suppose Hillary is in danger of losing the money and votes of American Jews no matter how much she disses Israel since liberal Jews in America don’t much care about Israel and probably agree with her. But some American Jews invested lots of their money to help the Palestinians build greenhouses in Gaza after Israel pulled out. The idea was to go beyond giving Palestinians a fish, which will feed them for a day, and to teach them to fish for themselves so they could feed themselves for their lifetimes.

It was a foolish idea at the time, the Palestinians want to make bombs, not flowers. The greenhouses were never built because the Palestinians tore them down before they were finished.

It´s a funny thing about people facing certain obliteration at the hands of those who hate them. When your suspicions about a evil mob of butcherous killers turn out to be spot on, kind of kicks that "empathy" and "generosity" stuff right out the window.

That is not quite the real story #24. Arafat a plain everyday criminal was ousted from in Russia with a merry band of outlaws demanding the nation.
As they made their way from one nation to another calling themselves the Palestine Liberation Army and creating one massacre after another they were rejected by all Arab countries.
One climax was the attempt to kill the Jordan king and take over Jordan. That resulted in the deaths of 10,000 people before they were thrown out. They he then moved on to tear apart Lebanon.
Only after Arafat decided he could gain Arab support by eliminating Israel did his band become Palestinians moving into Gaza and the West bank. That gang has lost out to hamas..

I never thought I could ever say this, but Hillary just might be a worse president than Obama -- but I don´t think he will ever give her a chance to see. I think Obama is going to want to do this for life - like a dictator. He is getting too much respect and swell head from this and I don´t think he will ever want to give it up. The people who put him in office think he is great - but I think they will see that he is not but it will be too late.

Frustration is taking its toll in the liberals’ war against guns. President Obama, pushing his broad gun control agenda, said we should be ashamed if we’ve forgotten the Newtown shooting so soon. The New York Times opined that Obama is being shouted down by the “gun lobby,” even though he and Biden had been crisscrossing the country “…making a forceful case for a package of laws that would reduce gun violence.” That, of course, is the media narrative on gun control. For every issue there is a narrative: a set of assumptions and boundaries of thought

GOLFE-JUAN, France—Frank Samson has prepared for a long time to meet his Waterloo. The French lawyer impersonates Napoleon Bonaparte at re-enactment battles, but it is no idle hobby. Mr. Samson has found what he says are perfect replicas of the French general´s gray overcoat, he has studied Napoleon´s native Corsican tongue and he has had himself crowned emperor of France, in a cathedral yet. In 2015, he wants to lead thousands of military enthusiasts into the ultimate re-enactment: the 200th anniversary of the battle of Waterloo in Belgium. But an American rival stands in his way.

Repeal, Replace, Still

Is it time to give up the fight against Obamacare? That’s a question some conservative health-care experts, pundits, and — more quietly — politicians are asking. In the first years after its passage, opponents had hoped that the Supreme Court would strike down the law or that a new president would sign its repeal before most of it took effect. But the Supreme Court decided to modify a few of its provisions instead of striking it down, and President Obama was reelected. Repeal is almost certainly off the table for four years. Obamacare will continue to be implemented.

As the bipartisan Gang of Eight works to complete a comprehensive immigration reform bill, there has been a growing consensus among Senate Republicans that the bill — so far seen by no one outside the Gang — should be the subject of multiple hearings and extended consideration inside the Senate Judiciary Committee. But on Sunday there were signs that consensus does not extend to the Republicans inside the Gang. Appearing on CBS, longtime immigration reform advocate and Gang member Sen. John McCain suggested the immigration issue is so familiar to lawmakers that multiple hearings will not be necessary.

The White House press corps should ask President Obama this question: You’ve told Iran’s leaders that if they come close to marrying a nuclear warhead with a missile that can hit the United States or our allies, they should expect a U.S. military attack on their soil. (Snip)Administration officials would never admit it, but the main reason for their being tougher on Iran than North Korea seems tied to American domestic politics as much or more than anything else, specifically the standing of Israel and oil versus Korea and Japan.

AS a Texas-raised journalist, I can tell you two things with confidence about my native state. One, its economy has been humming nicely for years. Two, this appears to greatly offend a certain breed of Northern writer, several of whom have descended on the state in an attempt to rebut stories of a “Texas miracle.” (Snip) “Texas has a long tradition of looking outside the government for support — and often finding it. That predates the Texas revolution and was reinforced by the rise of the cattle kingdom and the oil booms.”

One of the more disturbing aspects of the internet culture — fed largely by the ability to post anonymously — is the rash of mean, hateful comments made following the death of a prominent figure associated with one side or the other. It’s a disease that afflicts both sides. The death of Ted Kennedy a few years ago brought out the haters on the right to an unprecedented degree. The vitriol and foul language as well as carefully composed comments designed to inflict the maximum amount of pain that were the rule on the right

La Jolla´s jagged coastline is strictly protected by environmental laws to ensure the San Diego community remains the kind of seaside jewel that has attracted swanky restaurants, top-flight hotels and some of the nation´s rich and famous, including billionaire businessman Irwin Jacobs and former presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Tourists flock to the place. So do birds. Lots of birds. And with those birds comes lots of poop. So rather than gasping in amazement at the beautiful views, some are holding their noses from the stench coming from the droppings that cake coastal rocks and outcroppings near its business district.

America’s Foes Call Obama’s Bluff

Obama, Kerry and Hagel thought that they had a plan for putting North Korea back in the box. North Korea had conducted a nuclear test in February, violating once again the various understandings that had been worked out. But agreements and understandings, written or oral, had never meant much to the repressive regime which had suspended the Armistice Agreement that ended the Korean War numerous times—including last month. So Obama decided to wave a stick. The playbook for North Korea would feature flights by B-2 and B-52 bombers and F-22 fighter jets to remind

How America Lost
Its Four Great Generals

The quasi-official ideology of the U.S. armed forces holds that generals are virtually interchangeable, that individual personalities don’t matter much, that ordinary grunts are in any case more important than their leaders, and that what really counts are larger systems that make a complex bureaucracy function. There is some truth to all of this. But for all of the bureaucratic heft of the services and the heroism of ordinary soldiers, it is hard to imagine the Civil War having been won without Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan—or World War II without Marshall, Eisenhower, Patton, Bradley, Arnold, LeMay, Nimitz, Halsey,

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

Sen. John McCain says he doesn´t understand the threats from some of his Republican colleagues to filibuster a bill on background checks to buy guns. "I don´t understand it," the Arizona Republican said on Sunday of the threat coming from Sen. Rand Paul,Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Mike Lee and nine other Republicans. "The purpose of the United States Senate is to debate and to vote and to let the people know where we stand.” "What are we afraid of? ... If this issue is as important as we all think it is, why not take ... it up and debate?"

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

Is going gluten-free
healthier for everybody?

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.

Newtown killer Adam Lanza may have launched his murder spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School as an “act of revenge,” the Daily News has learned. A close friend of Lanza’s mother told The News that the troubled boy was a target of relentless bullying when he attended the Connecticut school years ago. “I think Adam felt betrayed by the school and this was his act of revenge,” said Marvin LaFontaine, a friend of Nancy Lanza’s. “Nancy told me he was being picked on at school. That they were just torturing him.”

ATTLEBORO, Mass. — As many as 25 students at a Massachusetts school were denied lunch this week — with at least some forced to dump their food in the garbage — because they couldn´t pay, school officials and parents said. Outraged parents said some students at Coelho Middle School in Attleboro cried when they were told by a worker for the district´s food service provider they could not eat on Tuesday because they couldn´t pay or their pre-paid accounts were short on funds. The on-site director for the company, Whitsons Culinary Group of Islandia, N.Y., was placed on administrative leave by
