Clinton skewers Trump over Israel policy

US Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton lambastes opponent Donald Trump in a Channel 2 interview that airs today. She criticizes Trump’s flip-flopping on Israel, saying “there is no rhyme, no reason to his comments on Israel” and says his only experience regarding Israel is marching in the Israel Day parade in New York City.

“There is no rhyme or reason to his comments on Israel,” Clinton tells Channel 2. “They’re ill-informed, he might have people whispering in his ears, ‘say this, maybe that will be popular with some people.’ He has no grounding, he has no feeling.”

“The best I can tell, his only experience is marching in the Fifth Avenue Israel Day parade,” she jabs.

Clinton calls Trump a “very untrustworthy spokesperson about where he stands from day-to-day on Israel.”

“His understanding of the broader dangers of the region should alarm any Israeli, no matter where that person is on the political spectrum,” she says.

“Using nukes against ISIS? Not caring whether other countries in the region — including Saudi Arabia — get nuclear weapons? Giving a full carte blanche to [Russian President Vladimir] Putin to do whatever he seems to want to do right on Israels’ doorstep? Not knowing the difference between Hezbollah and Hamas? How does that in any way help Israel?”
