Hillary Clinton “goysplains” to Bernie Sanders in Passover article, accusing him of betraying his people by criticizing Israel

 

Hillary Clinton’s supporters have frequently, and often dishonestly, accused Bernie Sanders and his supporters of “mansplaining.”

 

Meanwhile, the presidential candidate herself published a blog post on the website The Times of Israel on Sunday night doing what can only be described as “goysplaining” — or, as a non-Jew, condescendingly accusing a Jew of betraying his own people for criticizing Israel.

In the article, titled “Fighting oppression, inequality and injustice on Passover,” Clinton told the Biblical story of Exodus and stressed that lessons should be drawn from it for today.

With hawkish right-wing rhetoric, Clinton steadfastly defended the Israeli government. She conflated the Jewish religion with the state of Israel and condemned critics of the government as anti-Semitic.

“I’ve proudly stood with the State of Israel for my entire career, making sure it always has the resources it needs to maintain its qualitative military edge,” Clinton wrote, bragging about her work to boost U.S. military funding for Israel.

“Protecting allies and partners like Israel is one of the most solemn duties of any Commander-in-Chief. Yet others in this race suggest we must remain ‘neutral’ in order to negotiate,” Clinton added, in a jab at her opponent Bernie Sanders.

Clinton implied Sanders is being derelict in his duties as a Jew and betraying his own people by criticizing Israel and its crimes.

Sanders is the only Jewish politician who has ever come close to being U.S. president. He was raised in a largely Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York and has said he is “very proud to be Jewish.” Sanders also had family members who were killed in the Holocaust.

Like Sanders, many Jewish Americans are increasingly critical of the Israeli government and its oppression of the Palestinians, who have lived under brutal, illegal Israeli military occupation for approximately five decades and face intense institutional discrimination inside Israel, as the U.S. State Department itself acknowledged in a recent report.

In recent weeks, Sanders has come under bitter attack from the pro-Israel right-wing for criticizing Israel’s disproportionate attacks on Gaza and for pledging to be neutral on Israel-Palestine.

“Israel’s safety is simply non-negotiable,” Clinton wrote. She belligerently added, “For the security of Israel and the world, we need America to remain a respected global leader, and be ready and able to block any international effort to isolate or attack Israel.”

 

The Times of Israel, the website where Clinton published her article, has previously published blog posts by Israel supporters that openly called for “genocide” of Palestinians, although it has subsequently deleted them after facing backlash.

In her opinion piece, Clinton compared Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions, or BDS, to the Egyptian pharaoh who, according to the Biblical Exodus story, enslaved the Israelites.

BDS, which Clinton calls “alarming,” is an international grassroots movement that uses peaceful economic means to pressure the Israeli government to abide by international law and respect Palestinian human rights.

Many Jewish activists support BDS, and some of the most prominent voices in support of the movement are Jewish. In her attacks on the nonviolent resistance movement, Clinton echoed common right-wing pro-Israel talking points.

Her opinion piece sounds very similar to speeches made by figures like Israel’s hard-line right-wing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whom Clinton has pledged multiple times to invite to the White House in her first month as president.

Can she just not? She should just stick to lying to the American people to scrape votes up.

Oh so Clinton pandering to Israel with Biblical quotes is ok now?

Where did you get that he's agnostic and so what if he is? Jewish person can be an atheist, it's ethnicity too, not just religion. 

He's Jewish. 

 

[lego 44,165]

gonna quote one of you from other thread

 

"Lord have mercy! Did you know brother Bernie marched with Martin Luther King?? Look at this handout...it has a bible verse! Yes... brother Sanders is a man of Gawd! On Tuesday I'm going to vote for Brother Panders!!"

How insulting can they get? I wonder how they will pander to the Hispanic voting block in California?

Ok she loves Israel we get it, and she seems to not really be seeing the whole picture there but honestly it bothers me more and more where people use terms like "mansplaining" or "goysplaining" she has an opinion and even if it's not a very clever one so what, she shouldn't share it cause she is a goy? What bothers me here is that people are dismissed based on their identity and what they say is not challenged, it shows that unless you are concerned by a subject you should not speak about it? Wtf seriously? This is just an example of PC gone too far IMO.

You do understand the the story of Exodus is in the Christian bible too? It's not only in Jewish texts. The Old Testament of the Bible is pretty much all Jewish texts. It's a story Christians and Jews know  and it's important to both religions. 

And since when is repeating an opponents policy wrong. It's Bernie's policy. If it offends Jewish people that's his fault not hers. This article isn't even appealing to Jewish voters, it's appealing to voters who already don't like Hilary and have already made up their minds to vote for Bernie. It's an incindiary and biased article meant to fan the flames.

Yes a bible verse that is in the New Testimate, which has nothing to do with his Jewish upbringing or his current agnostic views. He might as well be quoting page 98 of the good book of Cinderella because agnostic people think religious books are books of fairytales.

This is not the same thing as stating the story of Exodus. A story both Christians and Jewish people know and is a part of both religions.

How is it... "goysplaining" (wtf is this word) for her to criticize someone's position about a foreign policy?  

It''s implying that a white person can only talk about white issues. What kind of reverse racism experience?

Why would she pander to Israel though. She has nothing to gain at all at this point.

It's just her stance that she's pro-Israel. That doesn't make her anti-Palestine. I don't get why you think the two are inherently connected. Stop demonizing her

Dying at these arguments.  

"This article isn't even appealing to Jewish voters"

Read the second link, how is it not trying to appeal to Jewish voters?

She's pandering to American Jewish voters who read right-wing Times Of Israel, both in the States and Israel. 

 

She is demonizing Palestinians any chance she gets, tell her to stop.

"That doesn't make her anti-Palestine" 

LOL

 

Yet others in this race suggest we must remain ‘neutral’ in order to negotiate,”

The writer is Jewish, she's criticizing a Jewish candidate for trying to be "neutral", as in not doing enough for Jewish people of Israel, as much as she does. Just read her article on second link.

Jewish people already know her stances. She's been VERY clearly pro-Israel. What she's doing is pressing the fact that she supports their interests as opposed to Sanders. It's not pandering, given that she's done so in the spotlight very recently.

It's not like Sanders, who randomly posts his civil rights efforts 30 years ago, while failing to actually show how he's helped African Americans in modern times, all while using random Christian gospel quotes.

------

She's not demonizing Palestinians. She's against Palestinian aggressors like Hamas who are relentlessly attacking Israel. She's defending Israel's right to defend itself in that case. How is that a remotely bad stance?

Friendly reminder that she's the one who negotiated ceasefires between Israel and Palestine, in a conflict that would inevitably lead to a disproportionate number of dead Palestinians. 

Hamas, like many terrorist organizations, form because of oppression and have their reasons but that doesn't make them acceptable in any shape or form. How can you be pro-Hamas?

It's like being pro-Hezbollah.
