Hillary Clinton: U.S. insulted by Israel's settlement announcement

hmm... wonder if stephen harper is going to add Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to his list of anti semites?

Clinton sat with CNN's Jill Dougherty (15 second commercial before interview begins) to discuss Israel's most recent attempt at derailing any progress with the Palestinians. While Hillary maintains that the United States relationship with Israel is not at risk, she goes on to criticize her "friends".

"But we have to make clear to our Israeli friends and partners that the two-state solution -- which we support, which the prime minister himself says he supports -- requires confidence-building measures on both sides," Clinton told CNN's Jill Dougherty. "And the announcement of the settlements the very day that the vice president was there was insulting."

"I mean, it was just really a very unfortunate and difficult moment for everyone -- the United States, our vice president who had gone to reassert our strong support for Israeli security -- and I regret deeply that that occurred and made that known."

Heh, the audacity of this woman! How dare she says anything neg... oh, never mind. I'll let the insufferable director of the Anti-Defamation League speak for himself.

Abraham H. Foxman

We are shocked and stunned at the Administration's tone and public dressing down of Israel on the issue of future building in Jerusalem. We cannot remember an instance when such harsh language was directed at a friend and ally of the United States. One can only wonder how far the U.S. is prepared to go in distancing itself from Israel in order to placate the Palestinians in the hope they see it is in their interest to return to the negotiating table.

STFU, Abe. Seriously! This is Foxman's m.o. I have written a little about his tactics, in the past. He went after Bill Moyers last year, and Moyers humiliated Abe with his rebuttal. Here is a snippet.

Dear Mr. Foxman:

First, to call someone a racist for lamenting the slaughter of civilians by the Israeli military offensive in Gaza is a slur unworthy of the tragedy unfolding there. Your resort to such a tactic is reprehensible

Contrary to your claim, I made no reference whatsoever to “moral equivalency” between Hamas and Israel. That is an old canard often resorted to by propagandists trying to divert attention from facts on the ground, and, it, too, is unworthy of the slaughter in Gaza. Contrary to imputing “moral equivalency” between Hamas and Israel, I said that “Hamas would like to see every Jew in Israel dead.” I said that “a radical stream of Islam now seeks to eliminate Israel from the face of the earth.” And I described the new spate of anti-Semitism across the continent of Europe. I am curious as to why you ignored remarks which clearly counter the notion of “moral equivalency.”

B'Nai Brith Canada: Obama made harper say something negative toward Israel because he sucks

You just know stephen harper's clan gathered around portraits of himself and that orange cat of his and stared at each other trying to come up with a way not to offend the Israelis. Unfortunately for the war crimes supporters, they couldn't just stay quiet while the rest of the world criticized Israel for their latest attempt at sabotaging any shot at peace talks in the Middle East.

So even though Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon did issue a statement, it certainly seems to have an apologetic ring to it. Said Cannon

"Consistent with the positions of the United States, the European Union, the United Nations and other key partners, the Canadian government sees the construction of permanent settlements in East Jerusalem as an obstacle to the prospects for peace,"

"Canada believes that all parties should abide by their international commitments. This announcement does not advance the cause of peace in the region."

Translation: "We really don't want to upset you Israel, we approve of your ways, but we must be seen as being onside with the rest of the world in this matter. On the bright side, mums the word on the white phosphorus!" wink

By no means an unpleasant statement, unless of course one is of the mind that mere criticism of Israel is offensive. Somebody like Frank Dimant for example, the executive vice president of B'Nai Brith Canada, who remarkably had this to say.

it was "regrettable" that Cannon objected to Israel's right to build the settlement, but said his statement was "very mild" compared with Biden's.

Dimant said he believed the Harper government was motivated to make the statement in order "to appease" the United States.

"I think the Americans may be looking for more counties to voice displeasure with Israel and therefore apply additional pressure to Israel to make even more concessions because, up to now, Obama's policy has been a failure in the Middle East," Dimant said.

"Therefore, I think they probably called on Canada, which is seen as a very strong, fair supporter of Israel, to join in this condemnation."

Frank, you are an imbecile who lives in a fantasy world. What you consider very strong, fair support of Israel, is absolute acceptance of their policies. You may want to heed the words of Vice President Joe Biden, who said to the audience at an Israeli university, "Quite frankly, folks, sometimes only a friend can deliver the hardest truth."

budget watchdog says harper's budget plans fall $10 billion short

Has stephen harper been right about anything during his reign as ruler? Does he actually have a degree in economics, and if so, where did it come from? A gum ball dispenser perhaps?

At any rate, Parliamentary budget watchdog Kevin Page says while he and jet setter Jim Flaherty generally agree over the short term forecast, the harper clowns are far too optimistic about how quickly they will be able to balance the budget.

Last week's budget predicted a $53.8-billion deficit at the close of this fiscal year, falling to $1.8 billion in 2014-15.

Page said the deficit will likely still be $12.3 billion at that time.

The disparity stems from Page projecting $6 billion less in corporate tax revenues, and about $4.5 billion higher spending, in part due to higher service charges on the national debt

Page is not saying it can't be done, but additional measures will be needed. A spokesperson for Flaherty dismissed Page's projections because his private sector buddies say Jim is the awesome.

anti~gay, family values conservative: "I'm gay"

Another Republican hypocrite bites the dust. Rumours started swirling shortly after the arrest of Roy Ashburn(Retard~California) for drunk driving hit the news.

"Sources" claimed the divorced father of four had been pulled over after leaving Faces, a gay nightclub in downtown Sacramento, just prior to his arrest. Realizing there was no way out, so to speak, Ashburn admitted he is gay in a radio interview with KERN radio host, Inga Barks.

Staying true to his republican values, Ashburn justified working against things like gay marriage, by explaining he was simply representing his constituents. And that is simply a cop~out, in my opinion. Many Californians voted for equal rights for the GBLT community. Whatever the real reason, he picked a side, the wrong side. And in light of this revelation, he should be ashamed of himself. Not for being gay of course, but for actively working against himself and others. You'd think someone who has had to live a life of lies would try and help others so they wouldn't need to go through the same torture. But that would take courage.

Here is an example of Ashburn's malicious discourse, popular among the folks with traditional values.

"We need to preserve traditional values for the future of our children. Children must be raised with morals and principles. As a society, we must provide them with a secured and loving environment that allows them to flourish."

Yes, we must protect the children!!! I suggest the courts intervene and forbid the Senator from having contact with any of his children.
