1. Bill Clinton said the same thing about Hillary in 1998
RB ,   USA   (10.06.10)
When Hillary said she supports a Palestinian state, the White House said she doesn't represent US policy.
2. clinton: "THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY" Exodus20:14.

Adulterer, shut up, keep your silent forever before the beloved children of G-D! shame on you! Mr Clinton.
3. He's using private funds SO He's only a private citizen :)
Salma ,   Palestine   (10.06.10)
it's none of Knesset business to put a sticker over Mr. Clinton's mouth!!
4. COWARDICE
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (10.06.10)
Insult us then run away .Clinton is despicable.(but we already knew that)
5. WHY GET ANGRY / RILED ?
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (10.06.10)
Best to simply ignore Mr. Clinton who is yesterdays' news .Perhaps he should find suitable employment if he is bored and has nothing better to do with his time .By the way ,MacDonalds needs burger flippers...
6. Meddler
Rafael ,   Yerushalayim, Israel   (10.06.10)
Believe me Mr. Clinton, there are Jews here in Israel from all four corners of the earth who will oppose with all means necessary any attempt by the government of the US to force Jews out of our G-d given ancestral homeland.
7. He is a democrat, isn't he?
Ram ,   London   (10.06.10)
Israel can't expect much from them. Be very cautious and don't delay jumping on the defensive!!
8. "Shalom haver"
Steve   (10.06.10)
Just goes to show, Bill Clinton is not this great friend of Israel he was made out to be. He is simply another anti-Jewish bigot like the rest.
9. lol every democrate is good with words in
ghostq   (10.06.10)
safe distance, but he is to afraide to face reality, did it ever occure to him that people who came from russia also wants peace like Hankin. sound like clinton hide behind ethics that serve his perpose only, once he achieve his goal he will abandonne the ethinks.
10. He said the thrue
Adi ,   Sydney   (10.06.10)
as well as he said that he never had the sexual relationship with that woman... and I am one Isralei who speaks Russian as well. I hope none American would like to give Alaska back to Russia. I do not think the land is the peace problem, but US military aid and weapons companies sales to that region. This is just business, and the big one - more than 100 billion dollars a year
11. Bill Clinton is a Saudi pawn!!!
David P. ,   Capitola, CA   (10.06.10)
he's been bought and sold
12. "Right to speak his mind"...uh oh. Not a good sign for Bill
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (10.06.10)
Yea we know. Every citizen of a democratic country has the right to open his/her mouth and shove one or more feet in as deep as they want. In this case, Clinton swallowed a leg almost up to the thigh... Of course Clinton won't admit he stuck his foot in his mouth and ended up biting hard. Does Billy boy have time to fly half way around the world and apologize for being a jerk? Looks like the answer is no...
13. Clinton, private citizen, public idiot(end)
DT ,   TA Israel   (10.06.10)
14. Clinton's comments are Racist. Where's the Human Rights orgs
rebecca ,   Modiin   (10.06.10)
He's grouping people now according to where they come from "Children of Russians". Human rights organisations should be screeming. They're actually just Isralies. Isralies serving their country.
15. Right to speak his mind
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (10.06.10)
Clinton made crudely insulting and racist remarks about an ethnic group that are reminiscent of the KKK. Does he have a right to make these racist remarks? Dutchman Geert Wilders is on trial and German Thilo Sarrazin lost his job for "speaking their minds" for much less racist remarks than the foul-mouthed Clinton,
16. I did not have sex with that woman.
Wild Bill ,   D.C.   (10.06.10)
Picking up a pen underneath my desk (and staying there awhile) cannot be considered sex.
17. To # 2 '' THOU SHALT NOT STEAL''
Miriam   (10.06.10)
18. Now yall will say that Bill Clinton is antisemetic..
ace ,   san fran   (10.06.10)
Anyone that does not agree with Israeli public opinion is labeled Antisemetic.. Thats not the first US public figure that has had enough of the Israeli arrogance.. WAKE UP ISRAEL... Also wake up America; our absolute support to Israel's racist and apartheid policies are running us aground.
19. Clinton
Harold ,   USA   (10.06.10)
Mr. Clinton will never apologize to the Russian immigrants to Israel. These immigrants and related to those who immigrated to the United States and founded the Purple Gang and Murder Inc.
20. to #17 he meant the famous Monika incident
ghostq   (10.06.10)
which proves that Billi boy is not a sheep, just a horny toad, that hops between leafs of shady ethiks. and not only he cheated but he also tried to hide it. and he is capable of cheating values and morals when they r not suit him.
21. #17 God gave it to them, that's taking back what stolen.
Moses   (10.06.10)
22. Who said so ???,...
split ,   USA   (10.06.10)
Who's Lia Shemtov anyway ? Kudos to President Clinton and Ambassador Cunningham ,...
23. Miriam @ 17 ,... :) ,...
split ,   USA   (10.06.10)
24. #1 TOUCHE that was a good one!!
Mo   (10.06.10)
25. #18 Who called him antisemetic?
Nathan Chitayat ,   LA, USA   (10.06.10)
I never hear anti-Israel comments being labeled as antisemetic, unless they are indeed tainted with such sentiments. What I hear A LOT of is anti-Israel people complaining about this "antisemetism accusation", that barely seems to exist. Case in point: Your comment in this thread
26. Clinton's Israelis Comments
Saul ,   Houston, USA   (10.06.10)
Ex-President Clinton criticized President Bush’s politics like no other president ever did his predecessor. American (liberal) Jews thought that was very cute. Now he continues with that same behavioral pattern, this time against a segment of the Israeli population. Now he is not so cute. We Jews never seem to learn.
27. What he meant to say
Gene ,   USA   (10.06.10)
He wanted to say that Jews from Russia support center-right of Israeli government. What he meant to say is that center-right of Israeli government or (what is the same) majority of Israelis are obstacle to peace. In other words; if peace loving Palestinians could murder majority of Israelis then there would be no obstacle to peace. You need to understand language of diplomacy.
28. Bill Clinton is not only immoral
Vladimir ,   Jerusalem   (10.06.10)
He is silly. What did he gain in saying all this? He should mind his own business and not poke his nose into the internal affairs of a sovereign state. Or maybe he needs a psychiatric assistance?
29. Vladimir @ 28
split ,   USA   (10.07.10)
You'll be sovereign state when you stop begging for our financial and military assistance.
30. Bill Clinton hates Russian Jews because
Benny ,   Gush Etzion   (10.07.10)
the Russian Jewish women refused to smoke his "cigar"
