you sound like you live a truly enviable life, by my lights - but anyway, given your evident expertise, I would like to bring over from a Gleen Greenwald thread these questions about the Israeli endorsement of Hillary as NY Senator in 2000, which no one there could answer. Here's the wikipedia page:

The endorsement as I recall it is oddly elusive web-wise. The context is fairly easy to re-assemble:
(1) there was her deal to pardon the New Court hassids.
(2) there was getting over the Suha Arafat kiss
(3) there was a bizarre, sticky, emotional Jewish campaign of sympathy for her as a humiliated but faithful wife (honestly). Any details on this last (which I recall from the radio) would be esspecially welcome.
