Hillary Clinton, anti-Semite

You don't think they cut a deal to avoid a floor fight at the 2008 Democratic National Convention, do you? Because it's pretty clear to me and should be clear to all of you where this is leading: President Hussein Obama has agreed to endorse and work for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election campaign. It's just a question of when the announcement(s) will be made (Hat Tip: Sunlight).

Obama and Clinton will meet for a lunch in the president’s private dining room, the White House announced Sunday. Their meeting will be closed to the press.

Clinton stepped down on as secretary of state on Feb. 1, after serving for four years as the nation’s top diplomat. In the weeks following her departure from the State Department, Obama hosted Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, at a private dinner at the White House.

The fact that Hillary Clinton is already the front-runner for the Democratic nomination in 2016, and is being pushed for the White House by President Hussein Obama and his administration, ought to be of serious concern to American Jews and to Israel. The reason for that is that in Obama's first term in the White House, he probably was not the most anti-Israel member of the cabinet. Hillary Clinton was.

It seems that in the Obama White House, the boss may not be the biggest Israel hater. That title may well belong to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (Hat Tip: Shy Guy).

In his book American Evita, Christopher Anderson writes.

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 UN General Assembly in November 1974 wearing his revolutionary uniform and his holster on his hip, Bill "was outraged like everybody else," said a Yale Law School classmate. But not Hillary, who tried to convince Bill that Arafat was a "freedom fighter" trying to free his people from their Israeli "oppressors." (1)
Of course Hillary's feelings about the PLO and Israel are only one aspect of her character, often a person's true nature is more closely revealed in a more intimate setting. In an early showcase of Hillary's diplomatic skills Christopher Anderson relates an experience that she and her future husband had during a trip to Arkansas in 1973.

It was during this trip to his home state that Bill took Hillary to meet a politically well connected friend. When they drove up to the house, Bill and Hillary noticed that a menorah-the seven branched Hebrew candelabrum (not to be confused with the more common and subtler mezuzah)-has been affixed to the front door.

"My daddy was half Jewish," explained Bill's friend. "One day when he came to visit , my daddy placed the menorah on my door because he wanted me to be proud that we were part Jewish. And I wasn't about to say no to my daddy."

To his astonishment, as soon as Hillary saw the menorah, she refused to get out of the car. "Bill walked up to me and said that she was hot and tired, but later he explained the real reason." According to the friend and another eyewitness, Bill said, "I'm sorry, but Hillary's really tight with the people in the PLO in New York. They're friends of hers, and she just doesn't feel right about the menorah." (2)

Read the whole thing. After that second story, anyone want to try to convince me that she 'only' hates Israel and not Jews?

If you thought Secretary of State Clinton was bad, President (Hillary) Clinton would be far worse. The time to stop this is now. This story ought to be spread all over the blogosphere until the mainstream media is forced to pick it up.
