Clinton: US can never be neutral when Israel is targeted

Hillary Clinton tells AIPAC that “anyone who doesn’t understand that some things are not negotiable,” mentioning terror attacks against Israelis, “has no place as our president,” in a reference to Republican front-runner Donald Trump.

“We need steady hands,” she says, “not a president who says he’s neutral on Monday, pro-Israel on Tuesday and who knows what on Wednesday.”

Donald Trump has said he would remain neutral in possible future negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians.

“Not everything is negotiable,” bellows Clinton. “But Israel’s security is not negotiable,” she says to a roar from the crowd.

“As president I will make a firm commitment to ensure Israel maintains its qualitative military edge. The US should provide Israel with the most sophisticated defense technology.”
