Despite her rather ugly Islamist ties, Huma Abedin has been careful about avoiding being involved in actual political issues. At least in public. In private, it's been another matter.
The email exchange started with Band writing Abedin that Bill Clinton was hesitant to attend the AIPAC forum that year.
“Aipac begging for wjc to come speak at conference. He doesn’t think he should unless you all do,” Band wrote to Abedin and Cheryl Mills, Hillary’s former chief of staff.
Mills said it was up to Hillary and she would check with the secretary of state.
Meantime, Abedin wrote: “U really want to consider sending him into that crowd?”
Band pressed for an answer: “Go or not go?”
Abedin responded: “No go to aipac.”
The private reality behind the public rhetoric about Israel is that the Clintons and the people around them don't like Israel. Huma Abedin's Islamist ties make it unsurprising that she would dislike the Jewish State and its supporters. But there is a reason that she is so close to the Clintons. They share her worldview. And it's a worldview that is anti-Israel and pro-Islam.
