Human Rights Watch wrote to Hilary Clinton to explain to her a few facts about the Israeli occupation and Israel’s "Annexation" fence.

The letter says:

Dear Senator Clinton,  
 
We write in response to comments attributed to you in Ha’aretz (November 15, 2005) during your recent trip to Israel…The media has quoted you as expressing support for the wall because it "is against terrorists" and "not against the Palestinian people." In light of your general standing as a supporter of international law and human rights, we find these comments disturbing and disappointing.

…

Israel has built the bulk of the wall well inside the Occupied Palestinian Territories for the purpose of capturing Israeli settlements, and the Palestinian land and resources they control, on the "Israel side" of the wall.

…

In the case of many Palestinian villages, the wall separates students from their schools, families from their relatives and friends, workers from their jobs, and farmers from their agricultural land, greenhouses, olive and citrus trees, and even water. The wall has severely circumscribed the already limited access of a number of Palestinian cities and villages to their local hospitals, schools and social service facilities.

…

In light of these considerations, we hope that you will reconsider your position in support of the wall, which ignores, and thereby undermines, the pronouncement of the world’s highest judicial authority on matters pertaining to international law. We hope you will reconsider the evidence indicating that the placement of the wall inside the OPT is designed to annex settlements to Israel, under the guise of security. And we hope that you will instead join us and other human rights organizations, both around the world and inside Israel and the OPT, in demanding that Israel respect international law and protect the human rights of the Palestinians subject to Israeli military occupation. 
 
Sincerely, 
 
Sarah Leah Whitson 
Executive Director, Middle East and North Africa Division

Anybody who thinks Clinton will be a dynamic and bold American President should really set their sights much higher.

Isn’t it funny how she always seems to support Israel when she’s involved in a campaign?

Ha’aretz said that:

Clinton is not slated to visit the Palestinian areas during her visit.
