1. Kerry calls the truth "fear tactics"
CJK   (10.29.13)
it is just the plain truth that the shia terror regime is capable of converting its already enriched uranium to weapons grade uranium. kerry calls this truth "fear tactics." it must be said that obama, who has admitted that he cannot do mathematics beyond the seventh grade, cannot understand the details of nuclear enrichment. obama's arrogance is truly stupefying. he wants to impose a nuclear iran on foreign states whose very existence depend on stopping a nuclear iran.
2. Netanyahu surely realises
CJK   (10.29.13)
obama will let iran keep its nuclear weapons program. hence, netanyahu must decide whether he will attack iran on his own, or whether he will accept saint obama's dictates. either way, the decision will be historic and will determine the future of the jewish state.
3. We hear you loud and clear, Kerry.
Israeli 2   (10.29.13)
Your boss, not long ago said almost the same thing about and to Israel's leadership. You are not mighty and certainly not allmighty. Bibi is too kind and diplomatic, but do not test Israel's resolve. We will attack sooner than you know.
4. HBO and Red Kerry driving failed policies
tarbouche ,   aswan   (10.29.13)
Having succeeded driving USA into a veritable mess, destroyed its military credibility and relationship with most its allies, they now attack Israel's security as a prelude to remove its deterrence, to benefit Iran and Muslim Brotherhood. Barak Hussein Obama and Red Kerry can go hang ; No Never again
5. Netanyahu hung out to dry
george ,   ashdod   (10.29.13)
The sheer idiocy of Netanyahu's yielding to American pressure to "negotiate" with the Palestinians even to the point of releasing terrorist murderers becomes clearer by the day. In return for a worthless promise from Obama and Kerry to "keep all options on the table", Netanyahu is now talking about such things as Israel returning to the 1949 Armistice-Auschwitz Lines, dividing Jerusalem, and turning over the Temple Mount to the Palestinians. Utter lunacy on all counts--as with Syria, the Americans would never have attacked Iran or supported an Israeli attack..
6. The Real Fear
Zechariah   (10.29.13)
The real fear is that Mexico and Chetnya will get nuclear weapons so the USA has got to make it work.And so does Russia and China .What if the. Islamic areas in China and near Russia get nuclear devices .By 2050 billions could die in nuclear exchanges with a nuclear winter causing disease famine and wars of cannibalism.
7. Kerry is an idiot in the original sense of the word
Jumbix   (10.29.13)
That is, someone who does not know nor understand what is going on in the polis, in this case, the world.
8. Track record is a good indicator of sound decision.
Frank ,   Davao City, Phil   (10.29.13)
Bibi's decision will be 100% right, and Obama's decision to appease Iran will be a disaster and it will be 100% wrong.
9. #1 yes he does
(10.29.13)
If he was Israeli, Kerry would be a Leftist. Telling the truth is "fear tactics". Opposing Leftist dogma is incitement. War is peace Freedom is slavery ignorance is strength. Sane people see Orwell's 1984 as a warning. Leftists see it as a game plan.
10. Richard Cohen's article in the Washington Post...
ex-frummie ,   Johannesburg S.A.   (10.29.13)
titled 'Questioning Obama's competence' points out that America and Obama's standing is not what it once was and that neither are held in awe or respect any longer. From the U.S. causing the world financial crisis to Obama's failed foreign and domestic policies, the spying scandal, not to mention the political gridlock the U.S. appears to have lost control of itself and that is extremely dangerous for the future safety of the world. Yet the only world leader who seems to be towing the Obama line is Netanyahu. Yet Israels' very existence is at stake. I am a fan of Bibi, but he cannot afford to let Obama dictate Israeli policy when it comes to Israels future. Obama is at best incompetent or at worst Israels' biggest closet enemy. While uranium enrichment continues and world 'leaders' lips keep flapping, Israels very existence is at peril. Obama is already a lame-duck at home and now abroad. There are only three more years of his administration to endure. If I were Bibi, I would rather strike Iran now and risk 'managing' Obama till he is out of office, than risk a nuclear Iran.
11. Bibi can no longer hide behind US inaction
Lemmings Hotline ,   sd usa   (10.29.13)
If he wants to fiddle while Tel Aviv burns, dont blame the US any more. Obama's isolationism is now predictable. He has abandoned US foreign interest in the ME. Israel is truly alone.
12. Succumb instead to burying heads in the sand.
Doug ,   UK   (10.29.13)
Confronting the truth is not yielding to fear tactics. Failure to confront the truth is behaving like an ostrich which buries its head in the sand when an inconvenient truth crosses its path. Sadly, this is something that has been constantly witnessed amid the foreign policy of the Obama Administration.
13. Its not about Fear - but lack of Trust !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (10.29.13)
Israel and the Mideast Nations dont Trust the US any longer. You have lost them by Your Chamberlaining failing Policys. Arn.Sweden.
14. Fear tactics
Rhonda ,   Chicago, Il   (10.29.13)
Fear tactics? Easy to say when Mexico and Canada are at your borders.
15. FearTactics?
max ,   washington dc   (10.29.13)
Releasing over 100 MURDERERS is questionable "diplomacy" and only sows FEAR in Israel. This could not happen in America!
16. Israel has to get out of American control A.S.A.P.
(10.29.13)
17. Sec Kerry
RayS ,   NH, USA   (10.29.13)
What the US Sec of State means is "Give Iran a chance to destroy Israel". The is the person who put a knife in the back of our troops in Vietnam. A creature of no honor.
18. Run baby run
Reuven ,   Netanya   (10.29.13)
All of you that preach the end of Israel if Iran this, Obama that, bla bla bla ... Why you don't leave and go to live somewhere else where you and your family will not be endangered ... you must be really dumb if you stay here because we will all die... These are the scare tactics of the war mongering right political echelon, do us all a favor and move out from here!
19. He is a lefty married to a life time communist
(10.29.13)
What do you expect
20. Obama's administration...
Maurice ,   Montreal   (10.29.13)
...has been a disaster for the US and and the Middle East. It will be a disaster for Israel if Bibi goes along with it.
21. Kerry is the ONE who pushed for the release of convicted...
Hermon Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (10.29.13)
...mass murderers of Jewish children. Now, he is about to allow Iran to continue to develop nuclear weapons with which to threaten the six million Jews of Israel. And, yet, the Jewish community in America will support him when he stand for elections for the presidency.... How pathetic!!
22. Just give Iran some bombs..
Beary White ,   Norway   (10.29.13)
..from the air, aimed at Fordo and other nuclear sites..
23. Notice the U.S. feels comfortable to have a dig at Israel
(10.29.13)
but is too scared to have a go at Saudi Arabia. Time for Israel to review its relationship with a U.S. that is no longer in its corner.
24. fight and live.
michael Pielet ,   israel   (10.29.13)
Do not depend on obama. israel you are on your own. The great powers did not save one Jew during World War 2, and obama will not save israel. israel fight and live, do not fight and surely die.
25. # 1 Lemmings When wasn't Israel ( almost") truly alone?
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (10.29.13)
Modern day Israel was designed to fail. (by man ) In The British "White Paper" Israel's independence or statehood was not even mentioned Israel had to secretly find planes, ( War surplus planes ) pilots, (7 Americans forbidden to enter Israel's defense but did so anyway ) materials, etc. to defend themselves against a horde of Muslim armies at the ready to 'wipe Israel off the face of the map" in 1948. Ancient Israel had too many battles to mention, they won, lost, they endured but, actually Israel wasn't totally alone. G--d is on our side. Israel was truly alone also when she took out two previous nuclear facilities, Syria , and Iraq. What we don't know now will later prove Israel does have secret allies, some of whom are her now her very 'public' enemies. They too feel threatened by Iran. Keep the faith. It is in G-ds hands and HE dwells in Zion. BUILDING THE PROMISED LAND FOR MORE JEWS!!!!!
26. what a total clueless moron.
(10.29.13)
27. Kerry Spews Crap
Brod ,   USA   (10.29.13)
The fact is Kerry is a Papist. Papism invented Anti-Semitism that led to the persecution of Jews and Judeo-Christians for 1260 years, starting in 538 AD during the Dark Ages. These dark forces were also responsible for exterminating 6 million Jews in the Holocaust under the leadership of Papist Hitler. Like Hitler and Al Hussieni in WWII that perpetrated the Holocaust, today, Papism and Islamist-Jihadism work hand and hand to destroy Israel by trying to rob Israel of its liberated Historic and Biblical Homeland-Judea and Samaria-Land of Israel, and by siding with Israel's enemies-Islamist-Jihadism whose Charter, School Text Books and Maps call for the destruction of Israel. Virulent Anti-Semites such as Papist Michael F. Sheuer and others, have emerged spewing Anti-Israel venom through American TV. The "Beast" power of Revelation has now emerged to once again become the Beast power of the Dark Ages. Already they have dominated the Supreme court, the Obama Administration and have become a dominant entity in Congress. Their goal is to dominate Congress so they can enact Laws that will undermine America's Constitution. They are relentless in pushing their candidate to occupy the WH. These dark forces are a danger to Judeo-Christian/Protestant America that founded America to become the Land of Freedom, Liberty, Democracy and the Pursuit of Happiness for the down trodden of the world fleeing from the ravages of tyranny and terrorism, and hoping for America's beaming light to lighten the dark world dominated by evil forces. Free-loving America should not allow these dark forces to prevail. We know who will win in the End Time. The GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob-the Creator of the Heavens and Universe-the GOD of the Bible will put an end to the dark forces which the Bible calls "Beast," "Babylon" whose leader is the "Dragon"-Satan.
28. Without "giving diplomacy a chance",Kery would have to look
Moshe ,   Usa   (10.29.13)
for another job in order to be the hero his wants to be. Well . . . . he wasn't a hero in Vietnam, so now he wants to set the record straight & be one now ! Oh, Boo Hoo !
29. Kerry - coward pappet of islamofascists
