Senator who spearheaded letter to Iran got $1 Million from Kristol's 'Energency C'tee for Israel'

If any people get fire in their bellies as Oliver puts it, I hope it is the voting independents who lean left and the democrats when elections come around. We all just seem so passive compared republican/conservative supporters.

I agree with you and other here who expressed their views on Hillary, but, in the end, I would rather she gets it than any of the republicans I have seen thus far.

The propaganda circulating in social media tends to take its toll on impressionables. But what exactly has Hillary done.

Democrats do not need to demonstrate by yelling at the top of their lungs to be heard; we leave the screeching to the Republicans. Dems fight for equal justice for the poor, the middle class, for Gays, Transexuals, Lesbians, etc. Dems fight for Unions which are responsible for creating the middle class. Dems are fighting against the privatizing of Medicare, Social Security. Dems are fighting the GOP who insist on cutting food stamps for the needy, the disabled. If you don't see Dems out there acting as evil and militantly as the Republicans, well it's simply because we let our actions speak for itself.

Oh, well, I don't know about how everyone feels, but for me, I find her too hawkish and too much supportive of Israel, I thought so when I chose Obama over her in 2008. And then they way she and Bill Clinton ran their campaign in such manner I have had hard time getting over, my feelings were they were subtle but they played those democrats (and there are democrats who a little racist, some of the poorer white working class)who would have rather not have had a black man in office over a white woman but did not want a republican

The scale of civilian deaths in Gaza during the 2014 war with Israel puts Israel's adherence to international law in doubt, a UN official has said.

In his annual report, the special rapporteur also said many children were left traumatised by the 50-day conflict.

Israel and its ally the US were both absent from the debate at the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva.

Israel has denied a report that it spied on talks between Iran and the US over Iran's nuclear programme.

A senior Israeli official told the BBC that the claims, reported in the Wall Street Journal, were "utterly false".

The journal said Israel wanted details of the talks in order to build a case against a nuclear deal with Iran.

Earlier this month, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the US Congress that a deal being discussed could "pave Iran's path to the bomb".

The US, UK, France, Germany, Russia and China are seeking to reach agreement to curtail Iran's nuclear programme in exchange for sanctions relief.




They fear Iran wants to build a nuclear bomb - something Iran denies, insisting it is merely exercising its right to peaceful nuclear power.

The sides aim to reach a framework deal by the end of March.

According to Tuesday's report in the journal, Israel began eavesdropping on the talks last year and also acquired information from confidential briefings with US officials and diplomatic contacts in Europe.

The White House uncovered the operation, the report said, when US intelligence agencies spying on Israel intercepted messages among Israeli officials that could only have come from closed-door talks.

US officials were particularly upset that Israel had sought to share the information with US lawmakers and others to build a case against the deal, the report added.

But a senior official in Mr Netanyahu's office told the BBC on Tuesday: "These allegations are utterly false.

"The state of Israel does not conduct espionage against the United States or Israel's other allies. The false allegations are clearly intended to undermine the strong ties between the United States and Israel and the security and intelligence relationship we share."

The report comes amid tense relations between the White House and Mr Netanyahu's government.

The Israeli prime minister angered Washington in his recent re-election campaign when he said he would not allow a Palestinian state if he was returned to office.

He later tempered his statement, saying he did want a two-state solution, but that "circumstances have to change".

I know like others have expressed I have my feeling against her, but in the end, if she is the candidate I will vote for her. Probably over most other democrats as well, perhaps. I agree that she will be a good President regardless of her baggage with republicans.

I really want a democrat who is strong enough to stand against Israel if the need arises. Judging by an article and poll taken Huffingpost, I am not alone in that.
