Erick Stakelbeck, a CBN News correspondent who covers Israel and the Middle East, offered this summation: "Secretary Clinton can't have it both ways. She likes to portray herself as a great friend of Israel, yet in her book she advances the inflammatory, false narrative of Israel as land-grabbing oppressors and the Palestinians as blameless victims. If she wants to create daylight between herself and Barack Obama, these comments certainly don't help her cause. In fact, Secretary Clinton sounds an awful lot like her former boss-and that's a prospect that should make supporters of a strong, secure Israel very wary."
