The Race to the White House Between Hillary Clinton and John McCain 

 

Mc Cain's sanity

Mc Cain says the Israelis don't torture Palestinians, they just blow them away with a rockets.

Hillary Clinton shuns International law and embraces Israel’s land confiscation wall!

 

“U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton said Sunday that she supports the separation fence Israel is building along the edges of the West Bank, and that the onus is on the Palestinian Authority to fight terrorism”. - Haaretz and Reuters.

 Senator Hillary Clinton KNOWS that the wall confiscates huge swaths of Palestinian land. The International Court has deemed the wall illegal and stated that its route cuts deep into Palestinian territories. Far from being on the edges of the West Bank, Israel's wall is built well inside the West Bank and separates Palestinians from their land and from each other.  

Senator Hillary Clinton has made yet another political calculation, this time placing the American interests and international law on the sidelines of politics. The two-state solution proposed by President Bush is doomed for failure as Israel continues to flagrantly ignore international law, build illegal settlements in the West Bank, build an illegal wall that cuts off Palestinians from East Jerusalem, the economic hub for the Palestinians and the future capital of Palestinian state.

Action:

Urge Senator Hillary Clinton to support a fair, just two state-solution that gives Palestinians ALL of the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem as their future state and capital. By supporting illegal and unjust activities carried out by the Israeli Government, Senator Hillary Clinton is destroying the prospect of a peaceful solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Contact Hillary Clinton through her web from:

1. Let Mrs. Clinton know that you want to rehabilitate our image in the world not make it worse.

2 Let Mrs. Clinton know that the Unites States should honor international law not mock it.

3. Let Mrs. Clinton know taking sides in this conflict does nothing to promote peace.

4. Let Mrs. Clinton know  that that you will not support her pandering to Ariel Sharon.
