Hillary: "Israel is standing for American values"

...you know, I used to think I'd like Hillary...

New York Times:

"Speaking at a boisterous rally for Israel near the United Nations headquarters this afternoon, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton said she supported taking “whatever steps are necessary” to defend Israel against Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran and Syria in the military conflict in the Middle East.

Senator Clinton, addressing a crowd of several thousand people, said the United States must show “solidarity and support” for Israel in the face of the “unwarranted, unprovoked” seizure of three Israeli soldiers by members of Hamas and Hezbollah, which she referred to as among “the new totalitarians of the 21st century.”

“We will stand with Israel because Israel is standing for American values as well as Israeli ones,” said Mrs. Clinton, who was joined by two dozen political and religious leaders on a stage along 42nd Street."

Right. American values like mercilessly destroying all transportation routes and then attacking civilians trapped there, like attacking hospitals, like kidnapping hundreds of innocents and keeping them in prisons for months. Well, she's right. That's what the US did in Afghanistan and Iraq.
