US officials had previously expressed some disquiet after past criticism of Secretary of State John Kerry, but the National Security Adviser Susan Rice today took the backlash to a new level.
Fresh off of Israeli officials calling Kerry an anti-Semite, Rice has termed the attacks on Kerry “totally unfounded and unacceptable,” insisting Kerry is committedly pro-Israel.
Kerry’s push for peace talks has clearly rubbed a lot of Israel’s far-right coalition the wrong way, and many have lashed out publicly at Kerry, accusing him of anti-Israel bias based on some deep-seated hatred of Jews.
Kerry’s warnings that if the peace talks collapse Israel might face renewed boycott efforts were also seen as a threat by many in Israel, though Rice insisted that both she and the rest of the US government remains unconditionally opposed to the boycott of Israel, no matter what.
Starts out good, why does she have to ruin it by with the pro-israel crap. US government officials need to start defending themselves and each other against israel.
They are suckholes to aipac
Hopefully the recent failure to get us into the Iran war AiPAC will realize that they can buy our elected office holders but they can no long buy their loyalty. Our elected officials are true prostitutes and they will turn on their Johns quicker than street walkers. Hopefully we can break the immoral relationship between AIPAC and our elected officials
They asked a coyote who is your witness, coyote answered, my tail.
Z-z-z-z
Surprise, surprise Rice and the other hypocrites don't object to Israel's 7Yblockade of Gaza because the Palestinians have the temerity to object to Israel mass murder and land theft. However she and her cohorts object boycott against Israel who for over 60Y have flaunted Int. Law and remain in illegal and belligerent occupation of Palestine, despite numerous UN res.
Kerry and Blair before him are supposed to be independent mediators Abbas should pick up his bat and ball and leave. Nothing will come of this when Rice can openly declare that Kerry is "committedly pro-Israel" while Rice and her bunch of crooks are crooks "unconditionally opposed to the boycott of Israel, no matter what."
They are putting themselves out of the middle east for good.

They can bray as much as they want boycotts will come and theres not a damm thing they can do about it. wrong cannot be right.
I will call Kerry anti-american for being so totally committed to israel…
how is that
Anyone who has the balls to stand up against the Israel lobby and their flunkies in the
US Congress is anti-Semite? I'm tired of this crap. The truth is, Israel is a rogue state built
on land and resourses stolen from the Palestinians. I better be careful. Don't want to
sound like I'm an anti-Semite.
From my calculations, the top-down progression for loyalty from State Dept elites is:
1. their colleagues, 2. Israel, 3 America, 4 justice
Yeah, I'd say your calculations are correct!
This may be a new low in the deconstruction of the term: anti-semite. John Kerry's paternal grandparents were Jewish. From the perspective of many Jews, Kerry is attempting to ensure the security of Israel far more competently than the current government of Israel that seems to be capable of doing little more than their usual schtick of kvetching. The right-wing chutzpah is predicated on a fermisht spiel that is so schmaltzy and so schlocky that it's nothing but bupkes – a massive load of fercockt dreck. Oy vey!
Rice: Israeli Criticism of Kerry ‘Unacceptable.
’ Israel to US, what are you going to do about
What are we going to do about it? I'll tell what we are going to do about it. We have options and "no cards are off the table including…WE SHALL COMPLAIN TO AIPAC.
I love US officials justice blindspot, moral blindspot when it comes to Talmudia.
Boycott Israel!
Bravo for the boycott!
Why should it matter if Kerry is "rock solid" in pro-Israel support? Politicians should be ashamed to say that they support other countries besides the US.
