Support Sec. Kerry's thread.

[mylye2222]

As you know, he has been trashed like no one by the criminal Bibi and his Klan, and in some way by the terrorists of Hamas too. So he now deserve a little bit better than insulting, don't you think, DUers?

So, Mr Secretary, we are proud of what you tried to accomplished over there, even iof no peace process is perfect. You did nothing wrong. More over, you spoke to your heart when you condemned the Gaza invasion, and it's an outrage that all what you get back from those fascist is only hatred and name calling.
You are a hell out of a risk-taker to the good, we know it.
You still have powerfull accomplishement for your record, like the Afghan electoral deal, or the outstanding work with Russian Lavrov and other partner on Assad's chemical weapons though issue.
No, Mr Secretary, stop dispending all your energy , at least for a while, on negociating with scumbags of Israel and Hamas. Take a good nap. You well deserve it.
We back you here!

1. Contrast the needed condemnation of the invasion and killing of the Gaza Pententiary and the cowards

of Congress.

Is Kerry also anti-Semite for not licking the boots of Bibi?

[bravenak]

2. I do not like the way our Secretary of State has been treated by our ally.

We give so much to that nation, we protect them from world condemnation and block them from harm in the UN. It worries me to see the Israeli government putting the future of their nation at risk.

Likud needs to go and give Israel a chance for a future. Oppressing a weaker people does not make them strong. It makes Israel look like a cruel and abusive nation with no care for the horror of their brutal occupation.

Why we send them weapons of war, I'll never understand. But, it needs to stop. No more blocking the uN security council. No more protecting child killers. The operatives and commanders and politicians behind the bombing of civilians need to be tried in court for their crimes. International court, not Israeli court.

4. Bibi is used to US lawmakers doing his bidding. Obama, Kerry and Biden aren't playing

to his standards.

They are acting as HONEST brokers and it is pissing off the corporate media elites.

[bravenak]

6. Likud is worse than even him.

They make him sound reasonable.

[blm]

3. Best way to avoid criticism is to NOT DO ANYTHING. Keep pursuing peace, John Kerry.

It is who you are at your very core. Any real student of history knows this.

[mylye2222]

5. Yes John. Take some rest, then goes back there AGAIN!!!!

U.S. Department of State Spokesperson Jen Psaki leads the Daily Press Briefing at the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. on July 28, 2014.

Says the transcript is there but I can't find it. The State Department:

http://video.state.gov/

There is video of Kerry discussing this there.

It's mentioned in an OP by Omaha Steve but I can't post it here. This is close to the title:

7. He was their best bet at peace! Unfreakinbelevable!

I feel sorry for JK, he's never had anything but Israel's best interest at heart and they run him through the mud --- and for what? Telling the truth about the situation!? Unacceptable, he is the best SOS we've ever had and gets treated like dirt by ANOTHER Rightwing - out of control- political party which seems to desperately want war over peace.

I expect there to be some harsh blow back to this type of bullshit treatment! The WH has to let Israel know that they fucked up!

[mylye2222]

8. I hope he still is!

And will not be replaced.....especially by Nuland! No way!

[blm]

10. CNN: Bibi is already walking back the comments targeting Kerry

.

[Rex]

13. Good idea.

That was stupid, even if their party is RWing...they don't have to lower themselves to the level of our GOP. Nobody should behave like our GOP...they are a pox on humanity.

32. There were two dies cast..one in 1917 and another in 1948

Both cast by westerners, who took NO note of cultural/religious/familial-tribal bonds.. They drew lines on maps and changed the world.

The west aligned with Israel because of the guilt they rightfully felt from WWII.

The region now known as Israel had been inhabited for thousands of years by people who did manage to get along (for the most part).. After 1948, they mostly became personna non grata in their own land, and little thought was given to the fact that they were pushed out.

The Arabic speaking people were not treated as equals.. they were subjects to be done with as the UK wanted.. they were expendable

In a fair world, a country for the Jews could have been created from the European post-WWII mess.. but it was easier to just take them "back home" , throw out the Arabs, have the UN give their seal of approval, and everything's hunky-dory.. except that it's never been even remotely okay.

People pushed out ALWAYS want to return to their land..and they NEVER accept the people who now live where they once did.


It would be very hard to see what was once Palestine, and to realize that what's now Palestine, is little more than an internment camp.

37. Hey SoCal....great post. I hope you repost as its own thread.

(and good to see you)

9. Conflating jews with the KKK?

Beats the usual Nazis comparisons I guess.

[blm]

11. She lives in France - she's absorbed DUspeak which includes

using the letter K for C.

[hack89]

14. Of course.

[blm]

16. I suppose YOU speak and write 4 languages perfectly, eh?

.

[hack89]

22. No - but I try to understand cultural context

And when I screw up I apologize.

[blm]

30. Do you have that expectation of every DUer who uses K instead of C?

Because that is all she did, something that is done every day here at DU since its beginnings.

[hack89]

33. It is not an innocent replacement

Do you understand that replacing c with k started with the KKK?

[blm]

36. Yes - and done here 100s of times every day since 2001. Why pretend THIS post from a French DUer

is somehow meant maliciously when it should be apparent to any casual member that she is following DU's cultural norm here?

[Swede Atlanta]

17. I suggest when Israel acts there are comparisons to historical events....

We need to see how far Bibi and his mendacious minions go. Do they have a number of Palestinians they want killed this time? Do they have a scoreboard? I absolutely believe they do. They want to annihilate the Palestinians in the same way Hitler wanted to kill the Jews.

Bibi is not a politician. He is a terrorist and should be targeted as such. He has been a pariah for years.

But the first step is for the U.S. stop enabling Israel. This will never happen until we stop the Jewish influence in Congress.

Once Israel were reduced to living within its own means it would realize it was a little two-bit country that no one cares about. With that realization they would negotiate in good faith. Until the U.S. stops giving Israel military and ANY other aid to Israel there is no hope.

Israel treats the U.S. as their bitch. When the U.S. says no new settlements, the Jews continue their building. When the U.S. asks to moderate the violence, the Jews continue the violence.

Only when Israel realizes they are a nothing state will the ever come to peace with their neighbors. I support the "Israel is a no-nothing state" promotion.

[hack89]

23. Good luck with that. nt

[rhett o rick]

19. You are really stretching to try to start a fight. nm

[hack89]

21. What does Klan mean to you? nt

[Kingofalldems]

24. Do you agree with the trashing of John Kerry?

[hack89]

26. No. nt

[rhett o rick]

34. This has nothing to do with me and it doesn't have anything to do with the definition of

Klan. You are trying really hard to make this what it isn't. If you want to make your racism case, go for it, but I sure as hell am not going to play your 20 questions game.

[hack89]

35. Ok. Nt

[2banon]

15. K&R

I haven't been much of a Kerry fan since his 2004 concession to another election theft. But as SoS, I think he's represented the U.S. as well as can be expected, given that Israel has no fucking intentions to ever seek a real solution other than to keep doing what they've been doing. So fuck the Likud's attempt to usher in Neo-Con Nuland as Kerry's replacement. fuck that.

[Omaha Steve]

20. Obama's got his back!

28. Sorry

I don't care for Kerry.

He may have tried his best in this effort, but no...we can do better.

31. No - he's the most honest broker we have, especially in that region.
