came back from Vietnam. kerry was not the hero he made himself out to be, and this was exposed when he ran for president of the Usa against Bush.

I will admit that most if not all politicians are as Daniel The Prophet said in the book of Daniel in chapter 4 verse 17 the basest of men run the world but he was not talking about Christians at that time. SHALOM

salma, was olmert good for you? i bet he was. yet, your bobo, abbas, walked away from the best offer he got from olmert; east jerusalem, gaza and 97% of the west bank. when olmert wanted him to sign the agreement, abbas refused and never tot back to him. now, abbas, wants the very same thing olmert offered to him in the first place, but we now have netanyahu, who is much tougher than olmert. now, who do you blame for waling out on olmert. remember arafat walking out of the camp david where barak offered him everything olmert offered? arafat walked out! so, if abbas and arafat didn't make peace with the most left of the left israeli prime ministers, why do you think that changing our rightist prime ministers will give you everything that will be alright? you are so dumb, it is painful.

I could not agree more. the "infamous" 47% are parasites that the 53% have to support.

Mind your own business. Go enjoy the gaza hotspots.

Sarah, I admire you for taking the time to know your enemy.That is important. I wish I could do the same but every time I try, I get nauseated. Just looking at the little muslim is about all I can stand.

Still feeding off Karl Rove's lies. Kerry had a distinguished military career compared to say GWB or Romney who did everything in their power to avoid enlistment Kerry interestingly visited Gaza to see for himself the destruction after the Cast Lead Turkey shoot.

Do you know what the definition of is, is? You call yourself a Jew. You may be one genetically but you do not have a Jewish nefesh. You are a self hating Jew who has turned on his own people. Go get help.

If he is opposed to the settlers and Netanyahu, who are intent on driving Israel towards the cliff out of their selfish, shortsighted ideological obsession, then he may even help save Israel from itself.

Bob, go visit Maaleh Adumim and you will see that they "...look like (you)". Yes, Israel is also 'nuanced'.

That's the only question that matters.

Sarah B, doesnt like anybody, except of course herself.

And for all those Frightwingers with your Liberal-Socialist-Commie-Fascist mantra still at full volume-your man lost Obama won, even you people should have heard this by now-your cornor of the Twilight Zone is not that far out.

There is not a single person in the Democratic Party who can be considered as a friend of Israel. After watching their convention nobody should have any doubt about it.

It shows Israel has doubts about him. That makes him more qualified because what's good for America is bad for Israel. At least as far as some right wing Israel-firsters, war mongers, and the neo-CONS are concerned.

Compared to Chuck Hagel as sec'y of defense, Kerry will be a walk in the park.

Kerry is another in the list of sub par choices for SOS. (the acronym is funny too) This American Jew tends to be conservative, and as such voted for Romney. (if pennsylvania EVER went republican in presidential elections, i may have a coronary) Settlements (aka... buildings that can be repurposed, bulldozed, etc) are not an obstacle to peace... The Palestinian government that refuses to sit and negotiate, unless they get everything they want prior to negotiation is the obstacle to peace... but then if you call them on it they cry like children.

excuse me Tel Aviv is not all israel it is your right to be against the settlement but you live in a civilized society in the US where various minority can live side by side but you can't compare israel and the israeli neighbourhood to the US because israel is facing threat from the south to the north with fanatic muslim who want to destroy israel !! you talk about settlement but leaving teritorries after territorriies didn't bring peace at all

I will settle this, no kerry is not good for israel because he is not even good for the us, end of story

will not be good for Israel as the US Sec of State. He has shown himself to be both feckless and unprincipled. I know of no military person or other correct-thinker who respects him. He is among the leading Democrat examples of liberal, politically motivated, dissembling, sphincter ani. How can he be against settlements and a true friend of Israel?
