13. A hoseshit assumption...
that "her silence toward Israel's brutality implies the senator will continue AIPAC's mission to occupy the whole of the occupied territories..."

Her silence implies no such thing. It is simply silence. She is not playing to her "pro-Israel" Jewish base, she is simply stating a pretty reasonable position, which is that Iran's statements denying the holocaust occurred and denying that the state of Israel has a right to exist are outrageous and should be condemned. I agree with her. The alternative is that we agree with Iran's position that the state of Israel does not have a right to exist, and that the Jews should, what, be deported? Shot? Jailed for their 'crimes' against Palestinians?

Are we supposed to pick sides in the Israel/Palestine conflict? Talk about a stupid idea.

There are legitimate grounds to be anti-Hillary, if that's your cup of tea. This ain't one of them.
