Hillary is speaking at AIPAC right now...nt

[Walk away]

[Iliyah]

1. K & R

[Funtatlaguy]

2. Impressive so far

She seems very relaxed.
Much better at reading TelePrompTer than she used to be.

[riversedge]

3. She has a very serious tone-good

[Funtatlaguy]

7. Best tone I've heard from her

Very appropriate for the setting.
Calm, reasoned, may I say very Presidential.
And, she's my second choice.

[question everything]

15. When was she using teleprompter?

She is known to be able to talk with complete paragraphs without the needs of notes or other aides.

[riversedge]

4. Re Iran Nuclear program--We must DIStrust & Verify

[6chars]

18. A potential President can't be naive.

Hillary is not naive.

[riversedge]

5. Sanders is missing this important opportunity. A video will not cut it.

[Walk away]

8. AIPAC won't take Bernie's video.

[GvilleDem]

6. No candidate is perfect

Listening to this speech is like filling my ears full of needles so far, as expected. My father is deeply against the Palestinian genocide (and it is a genocide), and thusly backs Bernie over Hillary. I can't make an argument, its a fair point.

What I hope is that Hillary is just being a good politician. That there is no benefit to be had being transparent about our disagreements with Israel, so we say everything they want to here, continue to make the actions which benefit us, along with peace in the middle east, while justifying our actions as being in Israel's best interest (as they are).

What I would still like to hear is some remark on that Israeli meeting with the republicans. That should not be tolerated ever.

[6chars]

16. you people like to use that word pretty casually

you really shouldn't.

[BlueMTexpat]

9. I am no fan of AIPAC.

Not at all.

I am appalled by the Netanyahu government's policies towards Israeli Arabs and Palestinians, whether Christian or Muslim, its meddling in US foreign policy, and its continual fomenting of discord in the ME among all countries there (an easy task to be sure). I am also appalled by AIPAC's encouragement of that government's policies.

That said, no serious US politician running for President can ignore this constituency, especially if we are to have any success in working towards peace in the ME.

[Walk away]

10. I have to agree. I don't know many people who aren't against Israel's....

...behavior in the Middle East. However, things just seem to get worse when we don't keep them close. The US has a lot more influence on creating a lasting two state solution if Israel trusts us and is closely tied to us.
I think the Israel/Palestine situation was missed opportunity of the Obama presidency. I think Clinton is the one to bring them back into the fold.

[6chars]

17. whose behavior in the ME are your acquaintances for?

Trick question.

Anyway, Hillary did explain her ideas about how to manage the situation. You can't manage it with ponies.

[BlueMTexpat]

22. I would like to hope so.

[question everything]

11. Came at the end

"We remember an Israeli leader - Golda Meir. How long do we need to wait?" (Well, not exact quote..)

Thunderous applause.

[Walk away]

12. She had many standing ovations and she endorsed the 2 state solution and....

the Iran agreement. She explained her positions on policy that AIPAC disagrees with and she still was applauded.

[George II]

13. ALL Presidential candidates from both parties will be addressing AIPAC today, with one glaring...

....exception.

The same candidate who won't be in Washington for the Town Hall tonight.

Hint: It isn't Clinton, Cruz, Kasich, or Trump.

[ProudToBeLiberal]

14. I don't like Hillary Clinton's policy when it comes to Israel, but I see it as a necessity.

I'm pro-Palestinian and support the BDS movement. Unfortunately, in America politics, it's political suicide if you "anti-Israel." So, I'll give Secretary Clinton a pass on this issue.

[spooky3]

19. I don't either but what I'm SMH at is...

The anti-Clinton crowd can't seem to make up its mind. Her speech showed that she's a neocon through and through. Oh wait - it showed that she was pandering, which I thought meant she was telling someone something she did not believe in order to appeal to them. These seem directly contradictory.

[grossproffit]

21. I'm the opposite. I'm ecstatic that she gave such a strong speech.

[grossproffit]

20. Great speech. She condemned both antisemitism and the BDS movement.

She's truly ready for prime time. I'm now behind her 150%.

[ericson00]

23. bump...I'm very glad Hillary stands with Israel unlike

fringe candidate Bernie Sanders. Hillary is with the majority of overall Americans and Dems alike
