In fact, stronger than anything that Shaffir had to say.
It is interesting to consider the differences between Clinton and Sanders, speaking the Brooklyn debate (http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/apr/15/sanders-clinton-brooklyn-debate-israel-palestine-comments) and Biden and Kerry. All different - likely because of personality and the position they are in. Yet, in terms of where they say they want to end up, they all speak of two states living in peace.
One huge difference is that Sanders spoke of the Palestinians and their needs - far more than the other three. Like Sanders, Biden overtly called out Netanyahu as he spoke extensively on the settlements. Kerry, in this speech, focuses on the need to change and make choices and you can't get there "just condemning the other side". In the rest of the world, even Sanders would be said to not be even handed given his comment that he is 100% pro Israel. Biden and Kerry are still very much pro Israel liberal Zionists - as is Stav Sheiffer and - for the most part - J Street.
Clinton, in terms of her world view, is very likely also a liberal Zionist -- and that is the root of why she calls for a 2 state solution. That is the dominant American position - Democrat or Republican - Jew or not. In some ways, it is different than our position anywhere else. For how many countries have we heard people like Kerry call for an inclusive, unified, secular, democratic country. Here, that would be the immediately rejected idea of a one state solution with equal rights for all. What is interesting here is that Sanders is closer to Biden, Kerry and even Clinton than to say - Jews for a Just peace.
Given the broader spectrum that people COULD be on, what is interesting is that all these Democrats are in a pretty narrow range. Where there MIGHT be a difference is that Sanders, if President might not veto things that are consistent with our policy, and Obama, Biden and Kerry might put out the plan for a two state solution and that could be in conjunction with a positive resolution. I don't see Clinton doing that ... but her actions if President would likely be in line with Obama's actions up until now.
