NY State Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn) is wondering why former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has not taken a position on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s scheduled address before Congress. Hikind, who has been very vocal about fellow Democrats stating they will boycott Netanyahu’s address, called on Clinton today to declare her position.
“I’m baffled,” said Hikind. “We’re talking about the former Secretary of State, a former New York State Senator, and a presumed Presidential candidate. Is Mrs. Clinton’s position in agreement with Secretary of State John Kerry or Vice President Joe Biden or Ambassador Samantha Power? Why has she remained silent on one of the most fundamental issues facing the State of Israel? We need to hear from her at a critical time like this.”
Hikind stressed that it’s important to remember that Iran, not Israel, has long been an enemy of the United States and that listening to Netanyahu is in America’s best interests.
“Iranian leaders continue to unashamedly declare their goal to destroy the State of Israel,” said Hikind. “As such, U.S. leaders are duty-bound to ensure that Iran is not given the weapons to make good on their threats. A nuclear Iran endangers the citizens of our ally Israel, our other allies, and the people of the United States. No American leader should be silent at a time like this. The issue at hand literally regards life and death.”
“Hillary, where are you?”

Hillary is in serious hiding because her philandering husband is knee deep, really much much deeper, in a scandal involving underage children on that island in the Bahamas.
Hikind wouldn’t necessarily know about it because the lamestream media won’t go near it.
dov? what do you want from her.
she is doing what she does best hedging both sides and then picking a winner.
Re comment no. 1: I’m no fan of Hillary, no fan of Bill, and certainly no fan of commenter no. 1. But when I read the first five words of his/her comment (“Hillary is in serious hiding”) I thought that Commenter no. 1 was on the right track. But then he veered off onto a track I did not know was there – underage children?! There are plenty of problems with a Hillary candidacy and the activities of the Clinton foundation, but commenter no. 1 would rather bring up some sleazy coocoobird allegations from some unheard-of news source than discuss an issue seriously. Tell us your source for the scandalous allegations about Bill Clinton, or don’t bring it up again.
As for Hillary’s position on Bibi’s thumb in the eye to the US president: since she sincerely believes that she will soon hold that title, she probably does not like Bibi’s conduct. She is hiding, probably, so that she takes herself away from an issue that may be of interest to potential Jewish supporters.
And if I am right (which I try to be), that is a further reason for Bibi to back down while he can. Whoever succeeds the current US president will take a dim view of Bibi’s kibbitzing in US politics, even if his views are aligned with the next president’s policies. And, there is a possibility that Mr. Netanyahu will not be prime minister in January 2017, though I claim no ability to predict that.
She’s in France, asking her good friend Sufa Arafat YM what to do.
Hopefully she’s a Baltimore chicaeda which lies dormant for 17 years!!
Enough damage from one family!!
NfgZERO,
I’m not surprised you don’t know about it either since you’re so drunk on Clinton Obama flavored Kool Aid so I would like to help you. Google Clinton Epstein and see what comes up. This would be a bigger scandal than the one he was in when he was president.
Moderator, I’m really sorry if I strayed. I’m really trying to keep things kosher.
