Top Israeli officials, as they tend to be every couple of months, were inconsolably outraged at Secretary of State John Kerry, after Kerry said he believes the unresolved Israeli-Palestinian peace process is a “cause of recruitment” for ISIS.
Economic Minister Naftali Bennett led the official show of outrage today, claiming Kerry was engaged in “anti-Semitism” for the comments, declaring “someone will always blame the Jew.” Bennett went on to claim Kerry’s comments were “aiding global terrorism.”
Other Israeli officials insisted the comments were unacceptable, largely officials who were opposed to the peace process, and who were condemning Kerry for pushing it even before the ISIS comments.
The State Department tried to downplay the row, saying that they assume Israelis were given “false information” about what Kerry actually said, and that Bennett was distorting his comments “for political gains.”
When will the US tire of the Zionist attitude and constant use of the canard of anti-Semitism each time the truth is told concerning the effect world wide of the Israeli treatment of the Palestinians for the last 50 years?
"When will the US tire…"
When the money stops flowing into political campaign coffers.
"When will the US tire…"
When government officials and employees stop breaking out in a sweat in fear of the Israel lobby. When they get some backbone. When their brains get re-engaged.
When if stops becoming suicidal for any government member to tell the truth about Israel. Or in other words, never. So maybe start with re-educating the American people and dismantling propaganda orgs such as the NYT.

Well, they do give the false and misleading impression that 'peace' is possible between Palestine and the terrorist state.
It's not often you actually get some truth out of Bennett.
Kerry should know you just can't fool Fred C. Dobbs.
God forbid peace breaking out, so the Israelis would be forced to stop killing Arabs and expanding Greater Israel.
Forget it. The American people are overwhelmingly not in favour of a government policy of fairness when it comes to Israel. They've bought into the silly idea that it has something to do with Israel having a right to defend itself. As if!
It's almost comical, a country with a population the size of a medium sized city dictates to the strongest nation in the world with a population of over 300 million. Our politicians tremble in confrontations with the parasitic Israeli state. This disfunctional relationship would make a great sitcom if it wasn't for the fact that the viewing audience would find it unbelieveable.
NSA sends surveillance material to Israel, as if it does not have it already!
Great material for blackmail of US administration and Congress
