Clinton condemns burning of Israeli flag

http://www.jpost.com/US-Elections/Clinton-condemns-burning-of-Israeli-flag-462586

ntender Hillary Clinton condemns the burning of an Israeli flag outside of her nominating convention this week, a campaign aide told The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday.

"Hillary Clinton has always stood against efforts to marginalize Israel and incitement, and she strongly condemns this kind of hatred," said Sarah Bard, Clinton's Jewish outreach director.

"Burning the Israeli flag is a reckless act that undermines peace and our values."

masqueraded as "Bernie or Bust" protestors.

However, regardless, that type of crap isn't good.

I wish Israel would do more in making peace with the Palestinians, but I'm not going to burn their flag to try to prove a point.

Have you never been to an SJP event?

Burning Israeli flags is not uncommon.

and they have ZERO place in any political party's coalition in America, ever. I hope when Hillary cracks down on BDS, college campuses see SJP for the hate group they are and shutter them.

The group burned an American flag and an Israeli one.

The anti-Israel people are going to destroy the BLM movement, they can't stand it when other issues get more attention. Their tactic now is to insinuate themselves into real civil/human rights movements like BLM. It's disgusting.

and the converse. A lot of "intersectionality."

Anti-Israelism is a far-left poison that needs to be ended in our body politic.
