Clinton = Obama: Hillary, At Saban Forum, Endorses Obama’s Anti-Israel Middle East Policy

[Jewish Press] – From the drive for Israel to accept a suicidal so-called “two state solution” to nuclear talks with Iran, Hillary Rodham Clinton is endorsing President Obama’s [anti-semitic] Israel-related positions.

Clinton, who was Obama’s secretary of state during his first term, spoke Friday night with Haim Saban, the Israeli-American entertainment mogul who through the Brookings Institution convenes an eponymous annual forum of Israeli and American leaders. Saban has been a backer of Clinton and her husband, former president Bill Clinton.

Her talk was notable for the degree to which she endorsed Obama’s policies. Clinton derided perceptions that U.S.-Israel tensions had become tense under Obama.

“Nobody can argue with the commitment of this administration to Israel’s security [except anyone with a brain],” she said when Saban pressed her on the perceived tensions.

Clinton, a likely contender for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, has been perceived since leaving the government as distancing herself from Obama – notably in her defense of Israel this summer during its war with Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Obama officials criticized some Israeli actions as excessive [and Hillary Clinton defended Hamas terrorist mass murderers on video].

She forcefully endorsed the Israeli-Palestinian “peace” talks aggressively advanced by the Obama administration and resisted by the two sides. Their absence, Clinton said, created dangers for Israel and “leaves a vacuum that is filled by bad actors, threats.”

Clinton deemed as “essential” the two-state solution sought by her successor as secretary of state, John Kerry.

The nuclear talks with Iran had effectively suspended that country’s weapons program, she said, and the Obama administration had managed to sustain international support for sanctioning Iran as a means of keeping the Islamic Republic at the talks.

Clinton anticipated a U.S. security umbrella for Gulf Arab states as a means of reassuring them about Iran’s intentions, but said membership in the group would be predicated on a “non-aggression pact” with Israel.
