An attempt is made to share the truth regarding issues concerning Israel and her right to exist as a Jewish nation. This blog has expanded to present information about radical Islam and its potential impact upon Israel and the West. Yes, I do mix in a bit of opinion from time to time.

Israel Furious at Hillary Clinton's Concern for Israeli Democracy
The Telegraph
Israeli government ministers have reacted with fury to comments made by Hillary Clinton expressing her concern for the state of democracy in Israel and the status of Israeli women.
Phoebe Greenwood, Tel Aviv
The US Secretary of State reportedly criticised legislation proposed by Benjamin Netanyahu's government that would curb funding from international bodies to organisations working to promote human rights withn Israel.
She told the audience of US and Israeli officials on Saturday of her shock on hearing reports of gender segregation on buses operating in Jerusalem, which she claimed was "reminiscent of Rosa Parks", the African American woman who refused to give up her seat on to white passengers on a bus in 1950s America.
Mrs Clinton went on to claim that recent incidents of gender discrimination against female Israeli soldiers reminded her of the situation facing women in Iran. A spokesman for Israeli prime minister declined to issue an official response to Ms Clinton's remarks, claiming they were made in a private forum. However speaking off the record, an official within the foreign ministry claimed the Israeli government was "astonished" by her remarks.
"We fail to see why this is a matter of such importance for the US Secretary of State. Does she deal with the same urgency to the social problems in states other than Israel?
Comment: ...and this is from the "most pro-Israel President" Israel has ever known-what nonsense. Yet the MSM promotes the lie and does not say anything about this piece. Well, actually they do, some have written "after all we have done for you..." sound familiar, junior high comment, no?
