22. Yes, it is true. Her own words recently display it...
But maybe you can show me all these times that she's expressed her support for human rights when it comes to Palestinians...

There's quite a few folk in the US who think if they say they support the Palestinian right of self-determination and a two-state solution, that makes them bastions of human rights. That's bullshit. Someone who never utters a word of concern for the conditions that the Palestinians are forced to live under, and who justifies human rights violations by hiding behind the weak excuse of keeping Israel secure from suicide bombers, is not someone who wants a peaceful resolution to the conflict that is fair for both Israelis and Palestinians. And I've discovered that many folk who claim to support a two-state solution in fact support the idea of a mini-state with no power and no independence which is nothing more than a series of disconnected bantustans amongst Israeli settlements in the West Bank....

No offense, but yr the one making the mistake in assuming that I simplify things into 'anti-Israel' (btw, criticising Israel does not make anyone anti-Israel anymore than someone criticising the US being anti-American) and 'anti-Palestinian' (same goes for this term). I'm not into such nonsensical black and white, pick yr team and cheer it no matter what garbage. I made this observation about Hillary Clinton because it's true...

btw, how do you define 'pro-Israel'? I'm curious to know....
