From Fox News:
Only a year into his tenure as America’s top diplomat, Secretary of State John Kerry has made at least ten trips to the Mideast to broker an agreement between the Israelis and the Palestinians. He also has drawn two of the most pointed public barbs that Israeli officials have directed at an American secretary of state in decades.
Strategic Affairs Minister Yuval Steinitz told reporters in Jerusalem on Sunday that Kerry had said “hurtful…unfair…intolerable things,” and accused the secretary of trying to force the Jewish state to “negotiate with a gun to its head.”
Triggering Steinitz’s “gun” comment was one by Kerry at a security conference in Munich on Feb.1. He was explaining how deeply the desire for an Israeli-Palestinian accord is felt around the world before veering into speculation about the consequences that could befall Israel if such an accord is not secured - presumably under the auspices of Kerry’s own shuttle diplomacy.
“Everywhere I go in the world,” Kerry said in Munich, “wherever I go - I promise you, no exaggeration, the Far East, Africa, Latin America - one of the first questions out of the mouths of a foreign minister or a prime minister or a president is, ‘Can’t you guys do something to help bring an end to this conflict between Palestinians and Israelis?’”
In some parts of the world, such as Indonesia, Kerry suggested, the Israelis’ continued occupation of the West Bank helps extremist groups recruit jihadists.
“For Israel,” he went on, “there’s an increasing de-legitimization campaign that has been building up. People are very sensitive to it. There are talk of boycotts and other kinds of things. Are we all going to be better with all of that?”
Many Israelis interpreted Kerry’s comments as an implicit threat that he would support such measures against the Jewish state - despite the fact that Kerry has historically opposed boycotts against Israel. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014/02/11/kerry-draws-israeli-criticism/
Crap rolls downhill and it starts with Obama.
It is obvious Obama is a Muslim fanatic and despite his denials, just doesn't care for Israel. And his dislike of Israel flows downhill to John Kerry who also doesn't care for Israel.
And I don't believe Kerry when he says that the leaders of other countries ask him about Israel and Palestinian conflict. Considering that in most countries, it doesn't affect them very much, why would they bring that subject up over other problems, like global warming (for the liberals out there), the economy, trade, security etc?
I'm pretty sure Israel and it's leaders are counting down the days until Obama leaves and hopes like hell that Hillary Clinton is not elected in 2016.
