The Candidates at AIPAC: Pandering by Numbers
Here’s a fun game. Which of these statements made at the AIPAC conference in Washington yesterday, were said by Donald Trump, and which by Hillary Clinton?
Quote 1: “Palestinian leaders need to stop inciting violence and stop celebrating terrorists as martyrs and stop paying rewards to their families.”
Quote 2: "Children are being taught to hate the Jews, it has to stop. You cannot achieve peace if terrorists are treated as martyrs.
Quote 1: “Iran is a problem in Iraq, a problem in Syria, a problem in Lebanon, a problem in Yemen, and will be a very major problem for Saudi Arabia. Literally every day, Iran provides more and better weapons to their puppet states…. Now they're in Syria trying to establish another front against Israel from the Syrian side of the Golan Heights…
Quote 2: “We cannot forget that Tehran’s fingerprints are on nearly every conflict across the Middle East, from Syria to Lebanon to Yemen. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and its proxies are attempting to establish a position on the Golan from which to threaten Israel, and they continue to fund Palestinian terrorists.
Really, though, all are re-purposed talking points borrowed from the oeuvre of Benjamin Netanyahu.
The AIPAC conference that wound up yesterday was sad, in that nothing substantive whatsoever was said by any of the presidential hopefuls. Moreover, the platitudes they offered sounded eerily similar.
