Republican Jewish Coalition slams Clinton’s AIPAC speech

The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) criticizes Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s speech to the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC, saying her track record proves she will not strengthen Israel-US relations if elected president.

RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks says Clinton’s “rhetoric rings hollow.”

“Actions speak louder than words and Hillary’s words can do little to paper over her disastrous tenure as Secretary of State. Under Secretary Clinton, the US-Israel relationship reached its lowest point and she supported the United States-brokered, ill-conceived and disastrous nuclear deal with Iran,” he says in a statement.

In her speech Clinton sought to affirm her commitment to Israel’s security and repeatedly called for elevating the US-Israel alliance to “the next level.”

Brooks said that he actions as secretary of state do not match her words.

“At every turn when her actions could achieve real results and speak louder than words, Secretary of State Clinton chose instead to sit and do nothing. Pro-Israel voters have learned from painful experience that there is a difference between political speeches and governing priorities. Hillary Clinton has proven time and again that talk is cheap, and today was no different.”
