Hillary Clinton Endorses Trump's Board of Peace for Gaza [View all] Celerity Jul 1 OP

The plan is another "Perpetual Money and Real Estate Machine" for those "Epstein Class" scoundrels. usonian Jul 1 #1

i don't get it. why the hell is she inserting herself into this? did she HAVE to write something for the orleans Jul 1 #2

The Prospect article suggests she's doing it as a favour to Tony Blair muriel_volestrangler Jul 1 #15

Good grief Tony Blair favor? Nanjeanne Jul 1 #22

It's a measure of the awfulness of the "Board of Peace" that Blair may be the least corrupt and RW person on it muriel_volestrangler Jul 1 #28

If only the U.S. didn't put all those people in power... yardwork Jul 1 #64

They're Trump's chosen board. Yes, the US is responsible for its makeup muriel_volestrangler Jul 1 #67

The Financial Times op ed makes sense, calls for different control structure delisen Jul 1 #75

It doesn't look like an endorsement as much as it does another hard-to-accept lesson in reality for some. W_HAMILTON Jul 1 #7

Yes, of course Cirsium Jul 1 #8

Your words all appear in grammatical order, but they make no sense. muriel_volestrangler Jul 1 #13

But they are a tiny minority of Americans that swung the election to Trump. W_HAMILTON Jul 1 #29

It seems a bit of an obsession to take a Hillary Clinton op-ed in the Financial Times muriel_volestrangler Jul 1 #32

The words make sense. The same refusal to accept reality that gave us Trump is about to leave Gaza to his whims. SunSeeker Jul 1 #30

Don't capitulate to Trump. muriel_volestrangler Jul 1 #36

Ok, how do we achieve that? yardwork Jul 1 #46

I disagree that cooperating with the Board of Peace, led for life by Trump, is the only alternative. muriel_volestrangler Jul 1 #47

Who is in power now who can boycott Israel? yardwork Jul 1 #48

Right white supremacists Whip-poor-will Jul 1 #11

I think of the 22 Democratic Senators who voted to confirm John Roberts and just cry Ponietz Jul 1 #12

What a revealing list. Emile Jul 1 #17

Here are the 22 Dems who voted to confirm Roberts: Celerity Jul 1 #19

You are very welcome Quiet Em Jul 1 #43

Thank you. betsuni Jul 1 #73

Thank you. sheshe2 Jul 1 #90

I just read the entire statement and it isn't an endorsement. yardwork Jul 1 #45

As usual. She's right. At this point, our choices are limited and something needs to be done. QueerDuck Jul 1 #50

Thanks for summing it up succinctly. yardwork Jul 1 #54

Those who have been most critical of her for saying this, seem to be the same ones... QueerDuck Jul 1 #60

Well said. yardwork Jul 1 #62

If you read her op-ed I think you'll see that she is not promoting hegemony. yardwork Jul 1 #61

I admit I read the sections you posted after posting karynnj Jul 1 #69

I don't think Clinton believes it's possible to reason with Trump. yardwork Jul 1 #71

Yes it does. AloeVera Jul 1 #81

That's not what the Palestinian Authority said. lapucelle Saturday #92

Or Secretary Clinton might be aware that France voted in favor of UN Security Council Resolution 2803 lapucelle Saturday #93
