The National Jewish Democratic Council has its new pro-Clinton video out. Its called “Hillary Validators” and includes an interesting gallery of political figures praising Clinton, in hope to win over Jewish voters.

Alongside Israeli opposition leaders Tzipi Livni and Ehud Barak, the late Israeli president and prime minister Shimon Peres makes an appearance, and so does current leader Benjamin Netanyahu, clearly not a big fan of Democrats.

“As someone who knows a thing or two about political comebacks, I can tell you: ‘I don’t think we’ve heard the last of Hillary Clinton,’” Netanyahu says on the video.

The NJDC also added Republican senator John McCain and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to the video montage.

The excerpts, needless to say, were filmed before Clinton’s run for office and are not direct endorsements for Clinton.

The Forward is free to read, but it isn’t free to produce

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’ve started our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we need 1,800 readers like you to step up to support the Forward by April 21. Members of the Forward board are even matching the first 1,000 gifts, up to $70,000.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism, because every dollar goes twice as far.
