The Times of Israel calls Kerry " a Traitor"

[mylye2222]

Astoundingly, the secretary’s intervention in the Hamas war empowers the Gaza terrorist government bent on destroying Israel

And they seem to miss HRC.....no wonder why, she's not only taken any risk in Middle East mess, but she is also far more unilateraly pro Israel , unlike Kerry, who has always been more enclined to understand both side's needs....

When Kerry’s predecessor, Hillary Clinton, got involved in the effort to broker terms for ending Operation Pillar of Defense in November 2012, it was self-evident, first, that a ceasefire was at hand, and, second, that the diplomatic work was being coordinated effectively with Jerusalem to ensure that Israel’s vital interests were being served. It is a testament to Kerry’s incompetence (or worse), and to the collapse of faith between him and Israel, that, when he headed ignominiously home on Saturday, neither of those assumptions held sway.

Whether through ineptitude, malice, or both, Kerry’s intervention was not a case of America’s top diplomat coming to our region to help ensure, through astute negotiation, the protection of a key ally. This was a betrayal.

1. So trying to negotiate peace makes JK a traitor to a foreign nation? That's some logic.

[mylye2222]

2. Yes, what a bunch of crap.

Cant wait of US RW scumbags relaying it.....The Kerry bashing its exhausting.

3. Mr. Horovitz,

Fuck off!

4. They just can't put up with a US official not doing exactly what they tell him to do.

Even if he does 99% of what he's told, it is not enough. The US has been Israel's lapdog for so long, they cannot tolerate even the slightest disobedience.

Don't worry, AIPAC and the US corporate media will soon have Kerry back on the Israeli leash.

5. On the surface at least.

Its not so recent that kerry had taken distance with Israel policies. He did it since 2009.

[BillZBubb]

6. The surface is the problem.

The US needs to take a public stand condemning Israeli policies that warrant condemnation. Silence is tacit approval.

Actually calling Israel out for once would vastly increase US prestige and credibility in the world.

7. You know what, do it your way Israel, lets just have the US stop covering for your crimes

at the UNSC. Arrogant and stupid to call Kerry a traitor. Becomes more clear that
Israel's government does not want peace they want continued occupation..duh.

8. Israeli government accused him of a "strategic

terrorist attack."

This is not a sane, rational state, just another backwards Mideast theocracy on the downward slope.

[Aerows]

10. I read that

That has to be the most insane rhetoric I've heard in a while.

[oberliner]

12. No it didn't

There was no such statement from the Israeli government.

[geek tragedy]

13. Just "very senior officials"

Meaning cabinet members--more than one.

This is the game our 'friends' in Israel play.

Though calling John Kerry a terrorist is admittedly a new low, even for those ingrates.

A nation of Dick Cheney's.

[oberliner]

9. No it doesn't

The word traitor appears nowhere in the article.

[geek tragedy]

11. From Haaretz

But over the weekend, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry ruined everything. Very senior officials in Jerusalem described the proposal that Kerry put on the table as a “strategic terrorist attack.” His decision to go hand in hand with Qatar and Turkey, and formulate a framework amazingly similar to the Hamas framework, was catastrophic. It put wind in the sails of Hamas’ political leader Khaled Meshal, allowed the Hamas extremists to overcome the Hamas moderates, and gave renewed life to the weakened regional alliance of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Israel showing its idea of what friendship means. Still bitter that Mitt lost apparently.

14. Like I said

the most insane rhetoric I've heard in a while, and I live in Mississippi, so you know I've heard some right-wing bullshit before.

[geek tragedy]

15. If one goes by polls, Israelis are more

explicitly racist than white people in Mississippi, so there's that.

[Aerows]

16. Good grief.

That's nothing good.

[geek tragedy]

17. That's the thing--people think Israelis

are like the cast of Seinfeld or something. In reality closer to Duck Dynasty.

[Aerows]

18. I don't know too many Israelis

but I know plenty of "Duck Dynasty" types, and they spout the same "hate, shooting, killing, destroying" things that we are hearing lately with regards to the I-P war from Israel's leaders.

Their government makes Mississippi proud of its tolerance from what I can see. I think even Alabama feels better about their government.

19. our neighbor is Israeli-American, just got his US citizenship, he's awesome,but

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/oct/23/israeli-poll-majority-apartheid-policies

More than two-thirds of Israeli Jews say that 2.5 million Palestinians living in the West Bank should be denied the right to vote if the area was annexed by Israel, in effect endorsing an apartheid state, according to an opinion poll reported in Haaretz.

Three out of four are in favour of segregated roads for Israelis and Palestinians in the West Bank, and 58% believe Israel already practises apartheid against Palestinians, the poll found.

A third want Arab citizens within Israel to be banned from voting in elections to the country's parliament. Almost six out of 10 say Jews should be given preference to Arabs in government jobs, 49% say Jewish citizens should be treated better than Arabs, 42% would not want to live in the same building as Arabs and the same number do not want their children going to school with Arabs.


...


According to the Haaretz report, the survey found that ultra-Orthodox Jews held the most extreme views about Arabs, with 70% supporting a legal ban on voting rights and 95% backing discrimination against Arabs in the workplace.
