| Hamas And Other Terrorist Groups Strongly Endorse Hillary | |
| 2007-11-15 | |
| Hamas believes Sen. Hillary Clinton, if elected president in 2008, will end President Bush's "unlimited military and diplomatic support for Israel" and adapt a more "evenhanded" approach toward the Palestinians, says the group's top political adviser. Speaking yesterday with WND Jerusalem bureau chief Aaron Klein, Ahmed Yousuf, the top aide to Ismail Haniyeh, the Hamas leader in Gaza and deposed prime minister of the Hamas-led Palestinian government, said in recorded comments the group heard from "many Americans" that if the Democrats take the White House next year they will implement "drastic changes" to U.S. foreign policy and relations with the Palestinians. "I do believe Miss Clinton will have a more balanced policy when it comes to how to solve the Arab-Israeli conflict," Yousuf told Klein. "And I don't think she is going to give to the Israelis this unlimited military and diplomatic support that they are actually enjoying now; so Â… the future politics in the region will [see] a very drastic change when it comes to how to handle the Palestinian question." Yousuf, speaking in English, said he hopes Clinton will "follow in the footsteps" of her husband's administration when it comes to dealing with the Palestinians.

| #6 Despite Dem attacks on Bush for staying aloof from the peace process, he had no choice. I'd hardly call $400,000,000 "staying aloof". |

| #5 The Arafat apologists have never forgiven Clinton for saying the failure of Camp David was Arafats fault. I doubt any of the guys quoted has really thought this through. In fact Ive seen Hillary attacked by Obama supporters for her statements in support of Israel, and of course shes being attacked more recently by Obama for her position on Iran. As for Clinton vs Bush, what did Clinton do but hold a summit, which is precisely what Bush is doing. Prior to this, Bush didnt get involved, cause with Arafat leading an intifadah, and later with Abbas trying to negotiate with a Hamas that was running the govt in the PA, there was no Pal partner. Despite Dem attacks on Bush for staying aloof from the peace process, he had no choice. Evidently some of these terrorists have not understood the situation Bush was in, and have picked up some of the mistake memes attacking Bush. If they had not, they could hardly consider Bush worse for the Pals than Bill Clinton. |

| #2 "I do believe Miss Clinton will have a more balanced policy when it comes to how to solve the Arab-Israeli conflict," Dangling the eternal bait for yet another effing gullible chump. Can it be any more clear that there will never be a peaceful solution to the Arab-Israeli "conflict"? Genocide is genocide and the Arabs want nothing less. The Palestinians will never accept any form of coexistence so the entire question is moot. There is no way to solve a conflict that one side does not want resolved, save by permanently maiming the recalcitrant party's military capability. I remain quite confident that none of this deters Hillary—or any other politician, for that matter—from lusting after the sure-fire Nobel Prize that such an achievement would surely garner. In reality, the Nobel Committee is a serious culprit in this tiresome Kabuki act. By awarding stooges like Arafat a Peace Prize for his role in this farce, they lend credence to the thought that there will ever be any sort of peaceful coexistence between Islam and Israel. Israel will only find peace once Islam has been dismembered and scattered to the four winds. |
