DEM RIPS ISRAEL

By MAGGIE HABERMAN

July 26, 2006 -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's long-shot Democratic primary challenger yesterday accused Israel of atrocities against Palestinians.
"It has certainly committed many acts of brutality, and violations of human rights and torture," Jonathan Tasini said when asked if Israel is a terrorist state.

Tasini made the comments in an interview on the political blog www.r8ny.com.

Clinton adviser Howard Wolfson called the comments "outrageous, deeply offensive and beyond the pale."
