Sane Jews Do Not Vote for Hillary
By Joan Swirsky
CanadaFreePress.com
At the beginning of January 2016, an organization
called NORPAC—a
lobby whose mission is to support candidates and
sitting members of Congress “who demonstrate a
genuine commitment to the strength, security, and
survival of Israel”—invited its members to “an
exclusive and intimate” cocktail reception for
Hillary Clinton for people willing to pay $2,700 per
individual or $5,400 per couple.
The invitation included a synopsis of Hillary’s
credibility vis-a-vis Israel, stating that she had
“been a supporter of the US-Israel relationship for
many years…and, as Secretary of State, she had stood
up against Israel’s enemies….”
Then, NORPAC promptly betrayed its pretense of
impartiality by stating: “Please join us in support
of Secretary Hillary Clinton for President and share
your concerns about the US-Israel relationship with
her at this pro-Israel event.”
Of course, all of this hype was pure fiction, but
fully embraced by the leftwing Jews who have
essentially abandoned genuine Judaism for the Social
Justice causes embraced by the Democrat party,
causes that make them feel like “good”
people—everything from the redistribution of wealth
(aka Communism) to saving the environment (from the
colossal hoax known as climate change) to equality
for women (except when it comes to speaking out
against the vile abuses of Sharia law, the mass
rapes by Muslims in Europe, and the rapacious
behavior of one Bill Clinton) to the Holy Grail of
leftism, abortion, which amounts to the de facto
approval of the over fifty-eight-million infants
murdered by this gruesome procedure since it became
the
law of the land in 1973.
But the subject here is not the magical thinking of
leftists or the suicidal ideation of liberal Jews.
Rather, it is to correct the decades-long fantasy
that Hillary Clinton is even remotely supportive of
Jews, Israel, Zionism, in fact anything to do with
Jewish life.
WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE…
So let us forthwith dispense with the fiction that
Hillary Clinton is a friend of Israel, of Zionism,
of Jews. In fact, she loathes all three, and her
ignominious track record of nearly 40 years in
public life proves this beyond a shadow of a doubt.
In an article in Newsmax.com in December, 2002,
writer Carl Limbacher reported that as far back as
1979, when Bill Clinton was the governor of
Arkansas, “it was quite common” for both Bill and
Hillary to refer to each other as “a Jew mother
f-cker” or a “Jew bastard.” This was reported by
Arkansas state trooper Larry Patterson, who guarded
the couple for six years. Patterson also said that
he “won’t go into their generous use of the N word,”
but only seven years ago, Bill told Sen. Ted Kennedy
of Barack Obama, “A few years ago, this guy would
have been getting us coffee.”
When Hillary was First Lady of Arkansas, there were
few if any Jews in her orbit…simply a demographic
phenomenon. So where did her Jew hatred come from?
Her reported-to-be Republican parents? Her
upbringing in generally leftist Chicago? Her
education at elite Wellesley College? Her religion,
most often described as Methodist—you know, that
lovely Protestant denomination that is relentless in
pursuing the Boycott-Divest-Sanction
campaign against Israel ? In Wellesley, she was
introduced to the writings of America-hating Saul
Alinsky, the author of
Rules for Radicals, a man she maintained close
ties to, wrote her thesis about, and, to this day,
echoes his “America is bad” beliefs.
It’s useless to speculate about where Hillary’s
leftism or antipathy to Jews came from, sort of like
wondering about the genesis of a particular
malignancy. Yet, speculating can sometimes shed
light. Perhaps Hillary’s Jew hatred came from the
experience she had when, at age 27, the Yale Law
School graduate served on the committee to impeach
President Richard M. Nixon, and a Jew, Jerome
Zeifman, Chief Counsel on the Watergate Committee,
fired her for lying and being unethical,
according to writer Carole Fader.
In Zeifman’s 2006
book, ‘Hillary’s Pursuit of Power,’ Fader
reports, he wrote that, “Hillary Clinton is
ethically unfit to be either a senator or
president—and if she were to become president, the
last vestiges of the traditional moral authority of
the party of Roosevelt, Truman and Johnson will be
destroyed.”
In an earlier book, ‘Without Honor: The Impeachment
of President Nixon and the Crimes of Camelot,’
Zeifman wrote: “During my 14-year tenure with the
House Judiciary Committee, I had supervisory
authority over several hundred staff members. With
the exception of Ms. Rodham, [special counsel John]
Doar, and [senior associate special counsel and
future Clinton White House counsel Bernard]
Nussbaum, I recommend all of them for future
positions of public and private trust.”
Talk about an early warning system!
AN IRRISISTABLE ATTRACTION TO JEW HATERS
According to Jeff Dunetz, blogger of The Lid, when
Hillary graduated to become the First Lady of
America, she continued her
anti-Israel, anti-Zionism, anti-Jew fetish.
Dunetz reports that “even before her marriage to
Bill, Hillary Clinton was opposing Israel and
promoting the forces of terrorism.” On page 49 of
his book, ‘American
Evita’, Christopher Anderson wrote that “at a
time when elements of the American Left embraced the
Palestinian cause and condemned Israel, Hillary was
telling friends that she was `sympathetic’ to the
terrorist organization and admired its flamboyant
leader, Yasser Arafat. When Arafat made his famous
appearance before the U.N. General Assembly in
November 1974 wearing his revolutionary uniform and
a holster on his hip, Bill `was outraged like
everybody else,’ said a Yale Law School classmate,
but Hillary tried to convince Bill that Arafat was a
`freedom fighter’ trying to free his people from
their Israeli `oppressors.’”
In November 1999, Dunetz elaborates, Hillary made a
trip to the Middle East and met with Yasser Arafat’s
wife Suha, who proceeded to accuse Israel of “daily
and intensive use of poisonous gas” that caused
higher cancer rates in women and children, and of
contaminating the drinking water or Palestinians
with “chemical materials and toxic gases.” And what
did Hillary do in the face of this barrage of
Jew-hating lies? She “sat by silently” and then gave
Suha a hug and a kiss, in essence endorsing her
blasphemy.
When Hillary was the Sec. of State, Dunetz
continues, both she and Bill “made mega- dollars
from their extensive involvement with Dubai, a
leader in the movement to boycott Israel, and a
major commerce and shipping point for the
`business-side’ of terrorism.” So deep are Bill and
Hill into Dubai that “The Clinton Foundation has
established Dubai Study departments in universities
in the US and London. They worked hard at granting
legitimacy to this Jew-hating, terrorist supporting
nation.” And there is more. Dunetz reports that when
Hillary ran for president in 2007, San Francisco
Examiner columnist P.J. Corkery wrote that she “made
$10 million a year from Yucaipa, a Dubai firm. Ron
Berkle, the owner of Yucaipa companies, was a major
fund-raiser for Bill and Hillary.”
The Clintons also had and have a connection to the
world’s biggest exporter of terrorism, Saudi Arabia,
and the Saudi Royal Family donated $10,000,000 to
the Clinton Library. Hmmm…they must be interested in
literacy.
A BRIEF HIATUS
The above represents a drop in the ocean of
Hillary’s longtime predilection to all things Arab
and aversion to all things Jewish, with the glaring
exception of her run for the U.S. Senate, during
which time she was a quick study in learning how to
pander for the formidable Jewish vote. And sure
enough, Jewish Democrats ignored her paltry track
record of public service, overlooked her former
blasphemies of Jews and Israel, and continued their
fetishistic embrace of all things
leftist-cum-socialist, mixed with a dollop of gender
politics, and generously laced with perpetual
victimhood.
It’s relevant to note that Hillary’s tenure in the
Senate yielded few benefits to New Yorkers and few
accomplishments, and it didn’t take her long after
leaving the Senate and becoming Secretary of State
to dismiss a previous deal that had been made with
Israel and to call for the end of the construction
of new homes in what Israel’s enemies call
settlements on the West Bank but which are actually
the
legally sanctioned territories in Israel called
Judea and Samaria.
By this action, Hillary, in essence, told Israelis
that they could no longer live in their
neighborhoods, and for good measure she threw in
Jerusalem as well. Then she and Barack Obama
proceeded to keep up a steady drumbeat of
vilification, public admonishment, duplicitous
dealings, and relentless demands on Israel, with
nary the mildest demand on the Jewish state’s
fanatically bellicose neighbors.
So obsessed with Israel is Hillary in the basest of
ways, she even spoke publicly in 2011 at the leftist
Brookings Institute about Israel’s accommodation to
the Orthodox community in terms of females singing
in the Israeli Defense Forces, comparing the action
to the way Iran treats its women. Right. In her
mind, there is no difference between simply walking
out of a singing performance and stoning the
offending woman to death.
The next year, at a forum on US-Israel Relations,
she
scorched Israel for its supposed insensitivity,
lack of empathy, and lack of generosity toward those
poor victimized Palestinians, turning a malevolent
blind eye to the serial violations by Palestinian of
all their agreements with Israel.
SHE’S BAAACK!
But now that she’s running for president, Hillary
the Panderer is back, pretending that she’s a friend
of Israel, hoping that the Jewish public she
considers quite stupid will forget that as Secretary
of State she created and executed the most
anti-Israel policy of the most anti-Israel president
in Israel’s mere 68 years of existence.
“Old habits die hard,”
writes Tiffany Gabbay for TruthRevolt.org. Only
last month, Hillary hosted a panel that included
Salam al-Marayati, president of the Muslim Public
Affairs Council (MPAC), “who openly supported
Hezbollah in its 1983 bombing of a Marine barracks
in Beirut and who blamed the 9/11 attacks on
Israel.”
Hillary’s ties to al-Marayati go way back; Gabbay
provides adetailed
report developed by Patrick Pool of PJ Media.
“Waves of controversy have not stopped Hillary
Clinton from continuing to promote Marayati,
including appointing him to positions during her
tenure as Obama’s secretary of State.” To this day,
MPAC continues to vilify Israel and even published
“on its website in 2010 that Israel was harvesting
the organs of Palestinians.” But he’s still
Hillary’s pal! Mmmm… I wonder how much he’s
contributed to The Clinton Foundation, which as I
type is
being investigated by 150 federal agents!
Gabbay also provides a list of these
dubious figures tied to the Obama
administration. I wonder how many of them have also
provided hefty sums to the foundation. With the
Clintons, isn’t it always about the money?
An
editorial in The Jewish Voice this month cites
recent history to describe Hillary’s unique
unfitness to be fair and balanced as a president
when it comes to Israel. “Her vicious attacks on
Netanyahu and the Jewish State are legend during her
four years of leaning unashamedly to the side of
Palestinian causes,” the opinion piece states, and
continues to list some of her egregious anti-Israel
behavior:
- Her grant of 147 million
bucks to the Hamas controlled Gaza which was
utilized to repair the terror tunnels and
artillery emplacements after they attacked
Israel.
- Her 45-minute-long verbal
phone assault on Netanyahu for his refusal to
kowtow to Abbas’ demands.
- Her unending calls for “a
two state solution,” adding kindling to the
fires of hate that the Palestinians keep burning
in order to scorch the state of Israel.
- Her comments in her book,
‘Hard Choices’,” where she repeatedly mentions,
the “illegal occupation” of Palestinians by
Israel.
That is not to omit what writer/editor Jerome S.
Kaufman
reported in Israel Commentary about Hillary’s
recent speech at the American-Israel-Public Affairs
Committee (AIPAC) forum. “She told the outrageous
lie that she led the policy of imposing `crippling’
sanctions on Iran to force it to the negotiating
table and she supported the agreement that has put a
lid on its nuclear program!” Then she said: “We will
never allow Israel’s enemies to think a wedge can be
driven between us.”
“Huh!” Kaufman writes. “Evidently she does not think
that Ali Khameni, the current Supreme Leader of
Iran, thinks that, after Obamasigned a lethal
agreement with Israel’s mortal enemy giving them
$150 billion in spending money plus a virtually
unencumbered route to develop nuclear weapons and
the unlimited launching of missile tests designed to
carry them out, there is a `wedge between Israel and
the US.’”
Calling Hillary’s presentation “a con job for Jewish
audiences,” Kaufman pleads to her: “Please stop
parading as Israel’s friend. That is a complete
lie.”
And then there are Hillary’s closer-than-close ties
to advisor, family friend, and former advisor to
Pres. Bill Clinton, Sidney Blumenthal—he of her
private unsecured e-mail server fame—one of those
apologist “court Jews” who make the rest of us
cringe in embarrassment and revulsion. Writer Lori
Lowenthal Marcus
describes in The Jewish Press what happened on
May 31, 2010, when the Israeli Navy confronted six
ships sailing from Turkey, “seeking to blow up the
internationally recognized legal naval blockade of
the Gaza Strip.”
“Starting the very morningof the incident,” she
writes,” Sidney Blumenthal began emailing Hillary
Clinton, haranguing her to treat this grave tragedy
as a whip with which to lash Israel. Blumenthal also
sent screeds written by his unhinged son
Max, who insisted that the entire incident was
orchestrated in advance by a bloodthirsty Israel as
a means to blow up the peace process. By the next
morning, Blumenthal had
writtena seven-point memo to Clinton suggesting
ways the United States should respond to the
flotilla incident, among them, “someone in authority
needs to read Israel the riot act”...”
AmericanThinker.com writer Thomas Lifson fleshes out
this ugly story. Hillary’s “reliance on Sidney
Blumenthal as an advisor, despite the fact that she
was forbidden by the Obama administration to employ
him as a State Department aide, is now revealed to
contain a reliance on the even viler son of a vile
man. Just as telling is the way he plied her with
his son Max’s articles. Max Blumenthal is a radical
left wing writer and the author of ‘Goliath’, a
vicious anti-Zionist polemic that attacks Israel’s
right to exist and urges its isolation and ultimate
dissolution.”
“Hillary is imbibing poison from Blumenthal,” says
Lifson, “and went out of her way to do so. She
should be shunned by all who care about the survival
of Israel.”
A HATRED SO DEEP
Ari Lieberman
titles his article in FrontPageMagazine.com
‘Hillary’s Emails: Hating Israel’. In it, he spares
no passion in describing the candidate’s flaws
(“unrepentant liar,” “unethical,” “serial
hypocrite,” “likely a felon,” et al), and then
prefaces a further critique with this damning
caveat: “If you hate Israel and wish to see nothing
but misfortune for the Jewish State, stop reading
because Hillary is your candidate. If you care about
Israel and its relationship with the United States,
read on.”
Lieberman details the nefarious plots and plans
suggested to a very interested Hillary by her close
aides Thomas Pickering, never a friend of Israel,
and Anne Marie Slaughter, Hillary’s director of
policy planning. But he reserves his most scathing
commentary for Hillary’s closest advisor.
“Another miscreant and perhaps the most troubling on
the list of shady anti-Israel characters advising
Clinton is
Sidney Blumenthal, father and defender of the
notorious anti-Semite, Max Blumenthal. Max has never
met a Hamas or Hezbollah terrorist he didn’t like
and subscribes to every single
anti-Israel calumny and conspiracy theory
winding its way through the blogosphere. So extreme
are his views that even the German Communist party
washed its hands of him. Sidney Blumenthal is a
passionate defender of his son’s unscholarly,
anti-Semitic dung and has passed much of it along
via email to a very receptive Hillary. Among the
articles forwarded was a lengthy
conspiracy piece written by Max for the
Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Akhbar. Rather than
rejecting it outright, Clinton responded, “interesting
reading.”
Lieberman then discusses Hillary’s closest female
adviser, Huma Abedin, noting that her history and
involvement with the “fascist Muslim Brotherhood are
undeniable” ...Abedin and her Saudi-connected
parents have held high-level positions with various
Muslim affiliated organizations that have openly
adopted extremely hostile views toward the Jewish
State.
According to columnist Caroline Glick, “Hillary
would continue Obama’s anti-Israel policies. Saying
that her tenure as Secretary of State “was a
disaster of epic proportions,” Glick adds that
during those four years, “Clinton was a full partner
in Obama’s hostile policies toward Israel.”
So it is no surprise that among the other
anti-Israel people Hillary has hired
to help her win the presidency is former
Congressman Earl Hilliard, who, writes Carol Brown
in AmericanThinker.com, “was a reliable anti-Israel
voice in Congress”—voting against increased military
support for Israel and accusing Jews of buying the
election that defeated him.
Three-hundred and thirty million people in the
U.S.A., and these are the best Hillary could do!
‘Who does Al Qaeda want in the White House?’ is the
title of an article by Lisa Daftari, who writes
that, “The Wall Street Journal has obtained a
translated report of the text which suggests
that…former Sec. of State Clinton `will be an
extension of the policy of Obama and the Democrats
in the region.’” Precisely!
It’s astounding to me, who reads daily newspaper
reports of people being arrested and incarcerated
for relatively innocuous crimes, that Hillary has
not yet been frog-marched into a courtroom, on her
way to Leavenworth. Clearly, someone doesn’t
want that to happen because of the
guilt-by-association that would land that someone in
a cell in the same institution. And the media’s
reassurances that FBI Director James Comey “is
nonpartisan” ring hollow when you consider that on
more than one occasion, he has found
no criminal wrongdoing in several of the
Clintons’ fishy cases.
Tiffany Gabbay comments that Hillary’s associations,
which I’ve described above, “are nothing new to the
Obama administration, nor to the Clintons. In fact,
it is one of the primary reasons why voters
concerned about terrorism and national security, or
who care for the preservation of Israel, are best
advised to refrain from voting for Clinton come
November.”
No sane American, no sane Jew, can give that premise
a serious argument.
