Hillary will be great for Israel. Hillary has been a steadfast defender of Israel’s interests. She will be a fantastic president for the US, an incredible world leader and one under whom the relationship with the US and Israel will be significantly reinforced.” Haim Saban to Jerusalem Post.
Israeli-American Haim Saban is one of America’s richest self-made billionaire. He is the owner of numerous media and entertainment outlets — and a big Democratic donor. Born in Egypt and raised in Israel, he has become a generous name in Democratic politics. One would often question the agenda behind the generous monetary flow bestowed by Haim Saban on the Clinton’s. what does Haim Saban wants in return of his generosity , to Hillary’s campaign.? “I’m a one-issue guy, and my issue is Israel” says Haim Saban. When asked in July (2014), how much he would give to Hillary Clinton’s campaign, he responded, “As much as is needed.” Saban’s sole purpose is to aid Israel by increasing an American support for the Jewish state. He has been utterly vocal about his purpose and how to achieve it. He has publicly described his method to achieve this goal by stating that the “three ways to be influential in American politics” . His three way method includes the functional control of economic , psychological and cognitive aspect of the American population. These are by making donations to political parties ( economical), establish think tanks, and control media outlets ( both cognitive and psychological in nature).
Media control- In a 2003 article, Dan Ackman wrote that Saban, who he described as an “Egyptian-born, Israeli-raised, now-American cartoon king,” was planning to buy the assets of a German media group, Kirch Media, for $2.2 billion. With his partner, TF1, a French TV Group, he would buy a “controlling stake in Germany’s largest commercial broadcaster, ProSiebanSat.1 Media.” Saban Capital Group regulates and owns Univision Communications, the largest Spanish-language media company in the United States. Now, it is crucial to understand the relationship between the potential incoming of the votes in favour of Hilary by the Hispanic population and the Saban’s ownership of Univision. The reach of Univision is more than 93.8 million households. The Hispanic vote has become a significant part of the overall presidential vote. Endorsement for Hillary became quiet prominent . In fact even before her announcement of 2016 presidential candidacy, she joined with Univision in a multi- year initiative to intend to aid Hispanic parental population to help their pre-school children develop language skills. Her involvement with the fastest growing politically influential Hispanics population and the continues P.R advertisements on Univision, is led to a much anticipated high majority of Latino votes (both among the Democrats and overall presidential vote). Gabriela Domenzain, who was Obama’s Hispanic media director in the 2012 election stated “You have to go to Univision to get to Latino voters.”
He also funds the American Israel Education Foundation, which is essentially a branch of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) , which contributes much to his think tank and media control policies ( both cognitive and psychological in nature).
Monetary control ( funding the Democrat)- Through the years, Saban has contributed an estimated $30 million to their political campaigns. His incoming flow of cash sure has had a direct impact of the policies being endorsed by Hillary Clinton. Infact, when the Democratic National Committee needed a new building, he donated $7 million to fund it, making it the largest known donations ever made to an American political party. Saban has supported Hillary in her senatorial and 2008 presidential campaigns and he, along with his Saban Family Foundation, donated from $10 million to $25 million to the Clinton Foundation. In 2008, the Huffington Post reported that Saban offered $1 million dollars to the Young Democrats of America during a phone call, in which he also “pressed for the organization’s two uncommitted super delegates to endorse the New York Democrat” Hillary Clinton. The article also noted that Saban has, since 1999, given nearly “$13 million … to dozens of candidates, PACs, and Democratic campaign committees.” . The Clinton’s are his loyal guests at his annual Saban Forum, which is held in Washington to discuss U.S.- Israel relations.
Hillary returns the favor to Haim Saban.
“Quite frankly, Israel didn’t teach Hamas a harsh enough lesson last year. True to form, Obama was too hard on our democratic ally, and too soft on our Islamofascist foe,” reads the letter, obtained by the Guardian. “As president, I will give the Jewish state all the necessary military, diplomatic, economic and moral support it needs to truly vanquish Hamas – and if that means killing 200,000 Gazans, then so be it.” Hillary Clinton ,in a Leaked letter to Israeli billionaire Haim Saban.
“Time after time I have made it clear that America will always stand up for Israel — and that’s what I’ll always do as President,” Hillary Clinton, after the Goldstone report.
Considering BDS (Boycott Divestment and Sanction) , which is a nonviolent movement for the justice in Israel/Palestine has grown more momentum than Israel could have imagined. Considering the figures, Israel’s concern over BDS is genuine. Israeli financial newspaper reported ,estimating that BDS could cost Israel’s economy $1.4 billion a year. The estimate included exports from the West Bank settlements (occupied territories) and with the EU’s decision to label the occupied territory products by the Israel ( not part of the BDS movement) , The Rand Corporation estimates that the loss could be more than three times higher: $47 billion over 10 years. Now, Hillary has been a firm pro-Israel supporter, wrote a letter to Haim Saban and Jewish organization leaders pouring her great concern and unconditional support for Israel, in response to the BDS campaign.
“I know you agree that we need to make countering BDS a priority,” she writes, asking for aid working “across party lines” to “fight back against further attempts to isolate and delegitimize Israel.” “Israel is a vibrant democracy in a region dominated by autocracy, and it faces existential threats to its survival…….Particularly at a time when anti-Semitism is on the rise across the world — especially in Europe — we need to repudiate forceful efforts to malign and undermine Israel and the Jewish people.”
In the letter, she further addresses that as a U.S. senator and secretary of state she opposed “dozens of anti-Israel resolutions at the UN. Haim Saban was so impressed with the letter that he went ahead and published it publicly.
Her support does not end here, rather begins with legitimizing anti-BDS campaign. Blind Obedience and unconditional support to Israel further includes the a long list. The Briefing ( www.hillaryclinton.com) reported Hillary’s vision towards the support of Israel by Increasing support for rocket and missile defence, including Iron Dome and David’s Sling, and push to expand missile defence to northern Israel, so that Israel can defend itself against rocket attacks and medium-range missiles. Guarantee Israel’s Qualitative Military Edge to ensure the IDF is equipped to deter and defeat aggression from the full spectrum of threats, Renew the U.S.-Israel Memorandum of Understanding, providing a 10-year U.S. commitment to provide Israel with the security assistance it needs to maintain the most capable military in the Middle East, Expand shared security and intelligence operations and U.S.-Israel military exercises, Partner with Israel to advance the two-state vision of a Jewish and democratic Israel with secure and recognized borders, Cut off efforts to unilaterally recognize Palestinian statehood outside of the context of negotiations with Israel etc.
Meanwhile , besides her Israeli backed sugar daddy, her donors majority are business lobbyists and investment bankers , Hollywood industry ( DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg and producer/directors Steven Spielberg and JJ Abrams.) Major finance industry donors include Paloma Partners, the creation of hedge fund manager Donald Sussman, who contributed $1 million . Soros Fund Management contributed another $1 million , who has financial ties to the coup in Ukraine, which Clinton also backed as Secretary of State.
Millions have been invested in Hillary Clinton’s campaign by the elite corporations and individuals who would enjoy the holy grail of profit once she wins. Martin Indyk, Dennis Ross, and Kenneth Pollack who lead AIPAC policy front organizations would very likely receive National Security Council and US State Department positions if Hillary Clinton becomes president.
Do we expect America’s infamous imperialist foreign policies to become more inhumane and chaotic when Hillary Clinton occupies the White House? Without a doubt, yes. She certainly has huge favours to return once she is throwned.
