During the Gaza flotilla crisis in 2010, Sid Blumenthal suggested to Clinton that the
administration needed to read the riot act to the Israelis so that Clinton wasnt
in the business of reinforcing Israeli propaganda on the incident. Blumenthal
advocated that Vice President Biden summon then Israeli Ambassador Michael
Oren and subject him to the full-dress Biden treatment. (Sidney Blumenthal
E-mail to Hillary Clinton, 6/1/10, State Department Release, 2/26/16)
During her appearance at an AIPAC summit in 2010, Clinton stated that the final
status of Jerusalem is an issue to be settled at the negotiating table, leaving the
door open for a divided city.
But when Clinton was courting the pro-Israel vote while campaigning for President
in 2007 she promised, in a position paper, to keep Jerusalem as the undivided
capital of Israel.

SECURITY PARTNERSHIP?
Clintons campaign rhetoric often emphasizes defending Israel from the
Iranian nuclear threat and enhancing security cooperation, but during her post
as Secretary of State, Clinton intentionally left Israel out of several security
cooperation summits where Israeli cooperation would have been natural and
expected.
In 2012, Israel was left out of The Global Counterterrorism Forum, a worldwide
forum to combat terrorism.

The conditions for a good agreement with Iran, however, were not met. Not only
did the Obama administration concede on anytime, anywhere inspections, but it
failed to address the critical issues of Irans ballistic missile capability and support
for terrorism.
At the end of the day, the agreement does not actually solve any of the problems
that Irans nuclear program poses, only postpones the date when the world must
more directly cope with a nuclear Iran.
Experts and editorial boards have widely criticized the deal that Clinton helped
initiate.
