As Hillary Clinton claims that Black Lives Matter at home, abroad she is proving that the lives of black and brown people count for very little.
Her speech today was absolutely a travesty. It was hawkish and basically cheered on further militarization of Israel.
She equated the BDS movement with anti-Semitism.
She failed to acknowledge the suffering of the Palestinian people.
This is par for course for Hillary Clinton. Her foreign policy positions have been consistently hawkish and hews close to neoconservative positions. This is not controversial at all. She regards her relationship with Henry Kissinger as a sign of strength. She aggressively pushed for intervention in Libya and Syria. Libya is a failed state now. Syria has been absolutely ravaged by the war. Millions have fled(and denied refugee status in the US!) and hundreds of thousands are dead. She has taken a very hawkish line with Russia (a nuclear power!). She facilitated the overthrow of a democratically elected government in Honduras.
And she voted for the war in Iraq. Last time she was asked about it by Chris Matthews, she brought up 9/11. This is unacceptable.
Her foreign policy experience and platform have been deeply damaging for the peoples of this world. It is indefensible.
Constructive criticism:
Hillary Clinton must apologize for and disavow her hawkish foreign policy stances. She must show that she has learnt from the long history of abusive US foreign interventions. The American people are tired of endless wars and living in constant fear. The peoples of the world want to be free from unwarranted aggression.
