Hill’s Anti-Israel Donor: Where Does She Stand?
THE ISSUE: Hillary Clinton accepting money from George Soros after he backed anti-Israel groups.
Once again, Hillary Clinton makes it obvious who and what she is (“The Company Hillary Keeps,” Editorial, Aug. 16).
By taking huge sums of money from the anti-Israel and morally bankrupt George Soros, she ties herself to everything that he represents.
If anyone still doubts Hillary’s extreme dislike for the Jewish state, Soros’ support should remove any confusion. Steve Heitner Port Jefferson
The likelihood of Clinton returning a single dime of Soros’ anti-Israel-tainted money is as likely as her admitting she did anything wrong.
As a reminder of the former secretary of state’s anti-Israel bona fides, did she ever make a peep when President Obama said the pre-1967 borders should be a starting point for Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations?
Where was she during Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress?
The left has it in for Israel, and Hillary clearly is down with the program. James Hyland Beechhurst
Every time Republicans think they have a smoking gun on Hillary, they come back with a water pistol. Denny Freidenrich Laguna Beach, Calif.
Let’s suppose that the Clintons are actually innocent of wrongdoing, and that this latest scan- dal — and all the earlier ones — have innocent explanations. That’s still not good enough.
In life, it’s not only necessary to avoid evil itself — it’s also necessary to go the extra mile and avoid the appear
ance of evil. Judaism even has a named concept for this. It’s called ma’aris ayin, which means “the appearance to the eye.”
In Judaism, it’s a sin not only to commit evil, but also to appear to be committing a sin. If nothing else, the Clintons have abjectly failed this test. James Nollet Milkowice, Poland
Let billionaires like George Soros, the Saudis and Hollywood liberals waste their money on anti-Trump smear ads.
They can’t praise Hillary’s record because her record has been deception, coverups and lying. John Gibson Lake Jackson, Texas
