Bill Clinton: Kibbutzniks slaughtered on Oct. 7 were Israelis most supportive of Palestinian cause
2024-11-01
Wheels within wheels. Does he really think this will help the VP with Moslem voters?
[IsraelTimes] Former US president Bill Clinton defended Israel’s war against Hamas while campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris in Michigan yesterday.

“Let me talk about the hardest issue here in Michigan, the Middle East. I have to be careful what I say because there’s only one president at a time, and none of us can get ahead of where we’re going. But I think we’re going to have to essentially start again on the peace process,” says a hoarse Clinton.

“I understand why young Palestinian and Arab Americans in Michigan think too many people have died, but if you lived in one of those kibbutzim in Israel, right next to Gaza, where the people there were the most pro-friendship with Palestine — the most pro-two-state solution of any of the Israeli communities were the ones right next to Gaza, and Hamas butchered them,” he notes.

“The people who criticize [Israel’s response] are essentially saying, ‘Yeah, but look how many people you’ve killed in retaliation, how many is enough for you to kill to punish them for the terrible things they did?'”

“That all sounds nice until you realize what you would do if it was your family and you hadn’t done anything but support a homeland for the Palestinians, and one day they come for you and slaughter the people in your village.”

“You would say, ‘You have to forgive me, but I’m not keeping score that way.’ It isn’t how many we’ve had to kill because Hamas makes sure that they’re shielded by civilians. They’ll force you to kill civilians if you want to defend yourself,” Clinton says.

#9  #7 relative truth

"The Clinton clan's compound is cluttered
With limos on cinderblocks," muttered
A hick up the hollow,
"But follow the dollar!
Hubb's double knows where their bread's buttered."

#8  NMBS, the sad fact is Bill doesn't really stay around Hillary all that much. He actually spends a lot of time with (are you ready for this) the Bushes. Elder George (now deceased) once refered to Bill being there at Thanksgiving as his "extra son". This to a newspaper.

#7  I cannot but wonder if Bill speaks the relative truth in significant part because he feels the remembered warmth of attention and relevance, however fleeting. His ability to draw big speech money seems greatly lessened, and I'm not sure what benefactor billionaires still seek him out. And because I suspect CGI major fundraising is virtually moribund, the travel the world in style marry-go-round is ending.

If he can't get more speaking gigs, he faces spending more time with the chardonnay harridan and her endless anger tour! Who could willingly come home to that Chappaquiddick nightmare?

#6  There is Bill Clinton and Fetterman and a few others in the D party who are willing to put themselves out on this. The Hamasholes in the D party are younger and more numerous.
