‘Leaked Document’ Puts Kerry At The Head Of UN Snub Of Israel http://dailycaller.com/2016/12/28/leaked-document-puts-kerry-at-the-head-of-un-snub-of-israel/
There's still time to kick the Israeli envoys out of the country for insinuating that Kerry and Obama lie.
"a leaked transcript"... Lol... That's extraordinarily cute, unfortunately is not considered evidence. Man, why do I sense a dejavu is upon me? Oh right, a lot on 2016 happened on the basis of "leaked transcripts". Not that Kerry would give a shit 2 weeks before leaving. At least they kicked out couple more Russian state actors and put others in Russia on persona non grata lists. We are all excited to hear what the person who was elected president but has not even set foot into white house has to say about all this. It's a new world order... Or so...
Schumer: Kerry ‘emboldened extremists on both sides’ http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/312063-schumer-kerry-emboldened-extremists-on-both-sides Incoming Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Secretary of State John Kerry inflamed tensions between the Israelis and Palestinians with his Wednesday speech. Kerry fiercely criticized the Israeli government for its settlement policy regarding disputed territories occupied by Israel. “While Secretary Kerry mentioned Gaza in his speech, he seems to have forgotten the history of the settlements in Gaza, where the Israeli government forced settlers to withdraw from all settlements and the Palestinians responded by sending rockets into Israel,” Schumer said in a statement Wednesday. "This is something that people of all political stripes in Israel vividly remember." "While he may not have intended it, I fear Secretary Kerry, in his speech and action at the [United Nations], has emboldened extremists on both sides.” Kerry earlier Wednesday vigorously defended America’s abstention from a U.N. Security Council vote last week on a resolution condemning Israel’s settlement policy. “Friends need to tell each other the hard truths, and friendships require mutual respect,” he said at the State Department. "If the choice is one state, Israel can either be Jewish or democratic. It cannot be both, and it won’t ever really be at peace.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded by calling Kerry’s remarks “a great disappointment” that undermined the Jewish state. “Israelis do not need to be lectured about the importance of peace by foreign leaders,” he said in Jerusalem. The U.N. Security Council passed a Dec. 23 resolution 14-0 demanding an end to Israeli settlement building in occupied territories. The U.S. could have vetoed the measure but abstained instead, ending a longstanding American policy of shielding Israel from U.N. reproaches. President-elect Donald Trump joined with Netanyahu in unsuccessfully pressuring the Obama administration to block the resolution beforehand. President Obama has repeatedly clashed with Netanyahu during his eight years in office, most notably over last year’s landmark nuclear deal with Iran. Trump, meanwhile, has pledged his incoming administration will strengthen ties with Israel and defend it on the world stage.
Hmm... Schumer... Schuumer... Schüler.... Schuler... Sounds pretty Je.ish to me. Oh no, I said it. My career is over and it's a matter of minutes before all my FB and Twitter and Co gets shut down. Back to reality, this is hog wash. Kerry made a fair point that abandoning the 2 state solution makes Israel have to choose between being democratic, meaning allowing all non Jews in a one Israel equal rights or else a strictly Jewish state where minorities are subdued and disenfranchised. It makes perfect sense and reflects the frustration which should come up in every tax paying American (i am not surprised in this context that Trump is on the other side of the fence) after pouring billions of dollars into that country just so that a few right wing Jewish motherfuckers in the Israeli government destroy years if not decades of work with their illegal settlement policies. Edit: how right I was : "The Senate Democratic caucus elected Schumer minority leader, in November 2016. ... Schumer is the first New Yorker and first Jewish person to serve as a Senate leader."
