Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn) condemned Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton for remaining silent after Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders recently suggested Israel “killed thousands of innocent” Palestinians in Gaza during the summer of 2014. While reports began to surface nearly 48 hours ago, Clinton has remained quiet on the issue.
“The comments made by Sanders were not only egregious, but the lack of a response from Clinton was just as appalling. Her silence is so deafening,” said an outraged Assemblyman Hikind. “When will she publicly condemn this ‘blood libel?”
Added Hikind, “When it comes to criticizing Trump for his comments, Clinton doesn’t hesitate to lash out. It’s automatic. But when it comes to condemning Sanders for spewing false claims against Israel, she hasn’t said a word. She told us she was one of Israel’s biggest supporters. What happened to that?”
According to Palestinian statistics cited by the UN Human Rights Council, 1,462 civilians were killed out of a total of the 2,251 Gaza fatalities during the 51-day conflict, per a Times of Israel report. Israel claims in the reports that nearly half of those killed on the Palestinian side were combatants, and blamed Hamas for the civilian death toll as a result of deliberately placing rocket launchers, tunnels and other military installations among civilians.

Why is hikind more obsessed with hillary rotten Clinton condemning the remarks than the the actual remarks themselves?
Doesn’t Hikind know Hillary Clinton always an antisamite god forbid she becomes president she will continue obumers policy’s we should never vote for her
Hillary’s silence is intentional. For those who have followed her campaign, she speaks with forked tongue. She tells every audience exactly what they want to hear. Her true policies have no relevance. She has never represented either truth or honesty.
However, there is one thing that has been quite pronounced throughout, and this is the main bond that she shared with Obama y”sh. The rabid hatred of Israel. She will tell Jewish audiences about the unshakable bond between America and its closest world ally, Israel. But her back stabbing has been consistent. She seeks all the fictional victims of the world, like those of alternative lifestyles, Muslims, etc. She befriends them everywhere she can. She cannot be trusted to direct US foreign policy to recognize Israel’s role, or to crush the evil forces of terror. She messed up Libya royally, just to serve her own interests. Her criminal history is alarming, and with the exception of the consistent hate for Israel, she is so unreliable and inconsistent.
She should never serve in public office, lacking the moral threads needed to be a true leader. She cannot be trusted by anyone, not her husband or family, and certainly not any citizen of United States.
