Secretary of State Hillary Clinton won over the Jews when she was a junior senator from New York. But now, as Secretary of State, she seems to be siding with the Palestinians in the war between Israel and Hamas.
In the past as First Lady, she was close to the Palestians and now again, in her new position, she is moving back to that same theme. As a senator she was for Israel, but that could be just to get votes.
In the article below, Jews in New York express their distrust in Clinton.

U.S. to give more than $900 million to Gaza
For a country that seems to be strapped with cash problems, we sure have a lot to just give away. The United States is willing to give more than $900 million to help rebuild Gaza after the Israeli invasion of this year.
According to Reuters, the money will need Congressional approval before the money is shipped to Gaza though. But once it is approved, because it will be, it will be distributed through the U.N. and other bodies and not via Hamas, said an official.
Let's hope that Hamas doesn't get its grip on this money.

Hamas letter to Obama: Don't be biased toward Israel
Fox News article below (link to original)
U.S. Officials Outraged at U.N. Over Hamas Letter to Obama
U.S. officials are furious with the United Nations for its role in Hamas' attempt to enlist U.S. Sen John Kerry to transfer a letter from the Palestinian militant group to President Obama during Kerry's trip to the Middle East, an official source told FOX News.
The incident also has raised security concerns over how much Hamas knew about Kerry's travel plans.
Kerry turned the letter over to the U.S. consulate in Jerusalem on Friday, saying he was unaware that it was from Hamas until hearing about the letter in media reports, including on the BBC. He told FOX News on Saturday that he will not be visiting Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal during his trip to Syria on Saturday. He is scheduled to meet with Syrian President Bashar Assad.
U.S. officials in Jerusalem are outraged at the United Nations Relief and Works agency for apparently handing the letter off to Kerry.
The official source who spoke to FOX News argued that if the U.N. had a letter from Hamas, it should have given U.S. officials a heads-up before the news was leaked to media organizations.
The Hamas official who wrote the letter confirmed to FOX News that he wrote Obama personally, asking him not to be biased toward Israel in its conflict with the Palestinians and to act fairly. He also said Hamas is ready to talk directly to a new American administration.
This Hamas official insists he had the backing of the group to write the letter, but it appears the official acted alone.
Kerry turned the letter over to the U.S. consulate in Jerusalem on Friday and his spokesman told FOX News that the Democratic senator was not aware that the letter was from Hamas when he accepted it from an official with the U.N. relief agency.
Kerry told FOX News that he never read the letter because it was sandwich among other promotional papers the U.N. gave him. A State Department official confirmed to FOX News that it was from Hamas and is now under review.
A potential concern was whether such a letter would violate the United States' policy toward Hamas. Obama has said his administration will not engage in diplomatic talks with Hamas unless the group renounces terrorism and affirms Israel's right to exist.
In addition, a U.S. official said there were security issues with the letter. The official who spoke to FOX News said there is concern that Hamas had advance notice that Kerry was visiting, which may raise issues of trust with the U.N. on future diplomatic trips.

Obama gives aid, shelter to Palestinians
President Barack Obama is acting as if he is in a Miss. USA or Miss. America pagent. He is after "world peace." At least peace between his administration and the Muslim world.
Obama has sent millions of dollars in aid to the Palestinians in conflict with Israel. In an article published Friday he sent Palestine another $20 million in aid. Apparently also he offered safety to the Palestinians living in tents during the conflict to stay in the United States. We'll his heart is in the right place, but is his mind? Palestine is allied with Hamas, a terrorist group which wants Israel wiped off the map, as does Palestine. Hamas denies that the Holocaust ever happened. Hamas is also financially backed by Iran.
So, is Obama a Zionist? Probably not. But he does want to be on the good side of the Muslim world. This is a major risk to the future of the nation of Israel.
At this rate, the United States will be allied with Iran, Palestine and Russia in no time.
Cheers to world peace, comrades!
