Also, already in March, Clinton demanded Israel allow illegally built Palestinian Arab homes in eastern Jerusalem and prohibit legal building of Israeli/Jewish homes in eastern Jerusalem. Such Jewish construction, she said, was "unhelpful." Suddenly, parts of an "undivided Jerusalem" are places where Jews may not move or build, even though Jews were a majority in eastern Jerusalem from the mid-1800s until 1948, when Jordan forced Jewish residents to flee, and are now a majority once again.

Jerusalem has always been the religious, historical and political capital of the Jewish people. Clinton justifies her criticism of Jewish building by reference to the 2003 road map peace plan, which she claims Israel is not fulfilling.

Yet she doesn't mention unfulfilled Palestinian road map obligations that were supposed to occur simultaneously, including an end to the incitement, confiscating illegal weapons, cutting off all funding to terror groups and an immediate call for an end to all violence.

THESE VIOLATIONS were once taken seriously by Clinton - especially incitement. As she put it in an October 2003 Senate committee hearing at which I testified, "How can you think about building a better future, no matter what your political views, if you indoctrinate your children to a culture of death?" And again, in February 2007: "We must stop the propaganda... in idealizing for children a world without Israel, children are taught never to accept the reality of the State of Israel... We cannot build a peaceful, stable, safe future on such a hate-filled violent and radical foundation. In the years since... there has still not been an adequate repudiation of this by the Palestinian Authority."

Today, however, Clinton says nothing about incitement to hatred and murder. Thus, when interviewed this month on a PA-TV teen show and asked, "What would you do if your daughter was unfortunate enough to have been born under occupation, born deprived of freedom and liberty?" Clinton legitimized the question's false premise and actually helped incite hatred against Israel by not refuting it while also ignoring the fact that 98 percent of Palestinians actually live under the PA or Hamas, not Israeli control.

She merely responded that she would give her the "best education I could for her... I would never give up on the dream of a Palestinian state." That an alarming number of Palestinian parents have encouraged their children to become suicide bombers was somehow lost from Clinton's response.

In short, Secretary of State Clinton is deaf to the words that US Senator Clinton once passionately uttered. It is notable that her recent criticisms of Israel impelled New York Assemblyman Dov Hikind to observe, "I liked her a lot more as a senator from New York... Now, I wonder... who the real Hillary Clinton is."
