Secretary of State John Kerry today defended Israel’s hostility to the incoming Palestinian unity government, insisting their response was entirely appropriate, and saying he thinks the US can get peace talks restarted.
Though Kerry claimed “Netanyahu and Israel are waiting to see what happens,” the Israeli government reacted to initial reports of a unity deal by declaring all future peace talks impossible.
Today, Israel vowed that it would blame Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas for everything Hamas does from the formation of the unity government onward.
Of course, Israel already blames Hamas for everything done by anyone in the Gaza Strip, and blames the Palestinians in general for everything done there and elsewhere, so this isn’t so much a change in policy as a reiteration of their ongoing belligerence toward Palestinian unity.
John Kerry is insane. What Kerry is meaning to say is that Israeli apartheid is "appropriate." Just when you think the dumb ass is finished being a dumb ass…
John Kerry, please don't start the peace process, as matter of the fact get lost, leave the Palestinian people and their unity alone. USG politics carried by John Kerry is again about to divid the Palestinian nation unity. Last time he said Israel is a apartheid regime, this time he is going to make up for what have said by trying to brake the Palestinian unity, John Kerry, you for peace process to restart, order state department stop doing any business with Israel, support nation that are willing to boycott Israel as Bill Clinton, Tony Belarus and Bush regime did to Iraq which lasted for 14 years.
Kerry and his boss are both stupid. It riles me to hear them talk about -"Isreali-Palestinian Peace Talks". The ONLY peace sponsored by the US and Isreal is the complete subjugation of an entire race of people -the Palestinians.
A few more years of blockades and limiting food and medicine to the Palestinians means that the entire population will be decimated by starvation and all Isreal's problems will be solved. That is why they wish to prolong the "peace talks" for as long as this takes.
How does this guy (Kerry) sleeps at night? His integrity as a human being sucks.
To jtt: meant to give a thumb up but missed the icon on the tiny iPhone screen. Kerry is a vacuous doddering fool who lost his manhood after a brief period in the 60's
John Kerry is not insane or stupid, he is just plain corrupt – he might not have started that way but he is corrupt now. So is Obama, Hillary, and 90% of Congress, etc. etc. What I don't get is why is Israeli money and approval so important to these people? Kerry married into money; Obama and the Clintons have bankrolled a sizable pile from doing the will of greedy, mentally twisted people for years. Can't they follow the Mental Midget's example and just quietly retire on their money? And what value is the approval of the Zionists? Isn't being in bed with these people like coupling with a syphilitic?
Jason – it's so sad to see an idealist become a hard-bitten cynic in such a short time but then Netanyahu is such a scumbag as is his poodle, Kerry.
Since when John Kerry a USA Foreign Secretary can assume to be a spokesperson for Israel, for giving his unequivocal support to a right wing regime headed by the notorious Netanyahu. It comes as no surprise that the Palestinians dumped his peace initiative which was doomed even before he became engaged.
