1. Yes, Kerry's words and actions ...
jay abouaf ,   jaffa israel   (05.01.13)
...lead to murder. John Kerry has a lot of political experience, yet his judgements are wrong; his ideas and actions contradict the cause of human rights.
2. US meddling in Israel is clearly harmful
Cipora Julianna Kohn ,   Z   (05.01.13)
it is obvious that the entire region is going up in flames. israel will not make any concessions to the arab palestinians under these circumstances. kerry should concentrate his efforts on persuading putin to solve the crisis in syria. it is doubtful that putin will cooperate, but an attempt must be made.
3. USA = ISLAMIC COUNTRY = THREAT

4. Sure, the moslem in chief gave us the arab inter
Sarah B. ,   U.S.A / Israel   (05.01.13)
Stupid Kerry giving us estat Palestinian terror, go mind your own business. Give us our aid, weapons and don't meddle in our business.!!!
5. When was the last time
Mira ,   Vienna   (05.01.13)
that US officials (including Obama) have done something reasonable and sensible? They are clueless!
6. The ONLY rational comment...
Gideon Reader   (05.01.13)
Lurch Kerry has ever made was the query"..."Y-o-u R-a-n-g??" Sort of s msle jane Fonda but with better Botix fills.
7. "We won't be suckers"
Sheik rattle & roll ,   USA   (05.01.13)
What an idiotic statement by a government official. The only suckers are the American tax payers should be Kerry's response, however when Kerry does ask a foreign country to release terrorist that is pushing it. I hope Israel sticks to the principle of no terrorist released and hopefully there could be some type of peace agreement or at least the 2 sides could start negotiating because it is better to jaw jaw jaw than to war war war quoting Winston Churchill.
8. #4 What a poor attempt you have made
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (05.01.13)
to impersonate an intelligent person. Instead of looking clever you look stupid.
9. good-to hell with 2 states
boaz   (05.02.13)
israel has claims on reubens lands on the east bank which is rightfully israeli. many arabs do not know they are sitting on israeli land in judea including mashaal and zohar. 24.7 communications is needed and fast to the arabs who frankly do not know. Livni is like olmert, a frightened peacenik with no concept of reality, geography and understanding arab society.' Another option is for israelis to move to another land and let the arabs choke on their beloved al quuds and turn it back into a bloody garbage dump. The shiffer/olmert gene needs to pass on for israelis to have a future; otherwise it is enslavement like in the past.
10. Kerry will prove Israel not serious, lay ground for UNSC '67
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (05.02.13)
...borders.
11. #7 Said Churchill 9 years after the war
Get Real ,   UK   (05.02.13)
ended and who had long recognised the evil to be faced and hated appeasement and surrendering to threats. Lesson not to be forgotten there Bibi
12. "Israel"
Abu ,   Planet Earth   (05.02.13)
"Israel" is not a state. The Arabs WILL control all of the middle east. Jews are a fake people made up by bankers and accountants. ISLAM will control the world- INSHALLA
13. #12 :-)
Beary White ,   Norway   (05.02.13)
Anyone who wants to tell this lunatic which evil cult he belongs to, and that he is brainwashed with the most deadly fairytale from his birth, by evil imams?
14. 12 Abu.agree with you,Russia is dead,
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (05.02.13)
Europe and North America are doomed,but there are 2 countries that will put an end to your hallucinations,and will cut off your wings,China and Israel,where national security comes before the constitution.
15. #1 Jay yes. Whenever he talks, ...
Zvi   (05.02.13)
... he just reminds me of his meetings with Bashar al-Assad in 2009 and 2010. At the time, he came across as a sucker. He still does.
16. Looks like this administration is trying to beat Clinton in
tom ,   tel aviv   (05.02.13)
terms of causing maximum casualties amongst Israelis(Jews). It'll be hard to do though....unless they're going for the "Iranian Solution".
17. Kerry/Obama: "Loose lips sink ships"
Benny ,   IRAN   (05.02.13)
It is most unfortunate that leaders in the WH are clueless that &5% of Jordan is Israeli land, as mandated by the UN. The British tyrants,acting like Robin Hood stole away what rightfully was mandated for the Jewish Homeland & instead gave it to the oil-rich Arabs to curry favor with them. The Pals are the real "OCCUPIERS" Get it? Its simple!
18. Israel suffers because of Bibi's cowardice.
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.02.13)
No other national leader has any trouble telling Obama "NO". Only Bibi. Israel continues to suffer because Bibi is a coward. Because Bibi lacks the guts to clearly reject the abominable Two State Final Solution, which would turn Israel into a 9 mile wide concentration camp. Because Bibi lacks the courage to claim Israel's more than 3,500 year old ancestral heartland.
19. What a sad sight to behold, sweet little boy, dead father
AB ,   TheRock   (05.02.13)
20. So now it's Kerry ;) ,...
split ,   US   (05.02.13)
If you're independent self sufficient superpower you been bragging about why bother what Kerry or anyone for that matter has to say or is doing ? Why don't you show a finger to America and UN and go on with your business ,...
21. To No. 18
Bertram ,   London, UK   (05.02.13)
To respond fully to your repetitive juvenile diatribes would mean that I haven't got a life. Therefore, just two points: 1. Pre-1967, Israel was (is) only 9 miles wide at its narrowest, otherwise it was (is) anything up to 71 miles wide (viz. the Negev and Galilee). 2. Your use of 'concentration camp' suggests you do not know what a concentration camp is and therefore have no understanding of the Holocaust.
22. #21. Your "response" simply emphasizes my facts.
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.02.13)
Bertram. Your "response" simply emphasizes my facts. Judea and Samaria make Israel viable and legally belong to Israel. It is obvious to any literate school child, that favoring a 9 mile waist for Israel is pure lunacy. Former Labor P.M. Abba Eban also called the 1967 armistice line "the borders of Auschwitz' I hope, for your sake, your skill in debate is not indicative of your life. It's pathetic.
23. 20
(05.02.13)
we showed them the finger, but they love us so much that they won't leave us alone. capich?
24. To No. 22
Bertram ,   London, UK   (05.03.13)
Chaim, you are overdoing your "any literate school child" mantra in your quest to make you sound intelligent. Allow me to elaborate. First of all, Israel, like many countries occupies an irregularly-shaped piece of land , with both narrow and broad bits. Secondly, there are in fact some countries which are smaller in size than Israel with even narrower 'waists' but they do not claim extra territory to compensate because it is in their interests to live peacefully with their neighbours. As for Abban Eban, we can all quote selectively since he also said that Israel was “.....tearing up its own birth certificate. Israel’s birth is intrinsically and intimately linked with the idea of sharing territory and sovereignty.” However, I know this cuts little ice with you, since you take the position of the spoiled child: what's mine is mine and what's yours is also mine.
25. #24. You do a good job discrediting the Suicide Left.
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.03.13)
Bertram. There is a silver lining in every cloud, as the saying goes. The silver lining in your posts, and others like it, is that you help discredit the Suicide Left. Your mind numbing defense of turning Israel into a 9 mile wide concentration camp insults human intelligence and provides momentum to the decline of the Israeli left. It is obvious to any sane person that ceding our ancestral heartland and shrinking Israel's waist to 9 miles is clearly lunatic. No amount of pseudo intellectual babble can hide it.
26. eh..no....
rm ,   Amsterdan, NL   (05.04.13)
It's Israel's actions on the ground in the Westbank that breed hatred and eventually lead to terror or G-d forbid a new intifadah..Don't believe bloody rightwingers who want you to believe it's all Obama's fault. Or John Kerry's fault. Or the US in general...Israel only got itself to blame...
27. Israel should welcome intifadah as chance to clean house.
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.04.13)
Far from fearing a "Palestinian" intifadah, Israel should welcome is as a chance to clean house and drive vast numbers of our genocidal "Palestinian" enemies out of our land forever.
