1. Just one missile on BG airport...
James ,   SD   (01.24.14)
Just one missile on BG airport will ruin Israel's economy. When Hamas overthrows Abbas and the PA, all of Kerry's "security committment" will be worthless.
2. The "occupation"
Devorah   (01.24.14)
Lurch continues to refer to the presence of Jews in our own land as the "occupation," and Bibi finds this to be acceptable? Kerry is a dark force surrounded by darker forces, and he needs to be kept out of Israel because he is a destructive curse.
3. wrong, wrong
alexi   (01.24.14)
assurances US or palestinian are worthless. ID will always be on jordan valley withinisoveriegnty. You want a state, you got jordan. it is not for kerry to provide assurances. herzog and livni are dumb as doorknobs!
4. Wishful Thinking
Joe Mevorah ,   Lincoln, USA   (01.24.14)
Kerry has high hopes for this neighborhood. The expectations are too high for both sides. As to continued American interest in the Middle East, he is lying. Asia is Ameica's 21st century economic partner.
5. Obama's United States wants to attack Israel
CJK   (01.24.14)
Kerry has promised the Arab Palestinians that Tzahal will leave every centimeter of territory the Arabs claim. It is impossible to understand how Kerry will accomplish this miracle. For verily, Tzahal will not leave any territory under Israel's authority unless it is ordered to do so by the legitimately instituted government of the Jewish State. Kerry is playing a very dangerous game, making promises that he cannot enforce and which only serve to inflame passions. Kerry's promise will inexorably lead to more war and more terror.
6. One last chance and
arne ,   chicago usa   (01.24.14)
it's the right time to take it. Israel's got to move on this one, all the right guarantees are in place, and the U.S. put their stamp of approval on it. it's most definitely a go. "One last chance" for the Pals.
7. #1 james
arne ,   chicago usa   (01.24.14)
I don't think so--I think the pal's on the west bank want to get on with there lives--hamas will become a thing of the past--it's the right time for Israel to get it on.
8. #1
Harold ,   USA   (01.24.14)
That attack can happen when Israel try to distroy Iranian Nuclear sites.
9. Kerry's promises
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (01.24.14)
If John Kerry wants to give half a country to the Arabs, he can give them half of the USA.
10. IDF free Israel ?!
yosef, phd ,   florida - israel   (01.24.14)
This kerry is an obsessed, ignorant, vainglorious moron - representing a worthless president and the worst administration in the history of once great United States...
11. This is our land. Kerry has ZERO authority.
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.24.14)
Kerry acts like Arab leaders who constantly promise "Palestinians" to deliver Israel to them on a silver platter. This is our land and will be ours forever. Thousands of years after the vile Obama regime is nothing but a bitter memory, our many times great grand children willplay in Judea and Samaria.
12. #8 like the thousands of attacks from Gaza?
(01.24.14)
you're full of it
13. #8 why don't you go and fight with your brothers in Syria?
(01.24.14)
you seem full of energy - go ahead and make us proud
14. BRAVO #2! Could not have said it better.
Israeli 2   (01.25.14)
LURCH indeed!!! How observant.
15. #5, Cipora, I agree with you, Kerry is a loose
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (01.24.14)
cannon and he promotes an obsessive anti-Israel agenda. He is a mental case !
16. Kerry is a MENTAL CASE...just like his sorry
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (01.24.14)
boss...
17. Compared to Kerry, Arafat was a sane mind !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (01.24.14)
Can anyone enlight me about Kerrys medical record ???!!!
18. "Never promise more than you can perform." ...
ASTRONAUT ,   SC, USA   (01.24.14)
19. #1
dan ,   DC   (01.25.14)
which is why the best course of action is to let hamas kick out abbas now, before a false agreement, rather than after.
20. Kerry's Illegal Demands and Presence
Janice ,   Mobile USA   (01.25.14)
Who does Kerry think he is and by what right does he have any power to tell Israel what to do or promise anything to the Palestinians. His arrogance and perceived sense of importance are unequalled. Israel is a sovreign nation with a legitimate government....Kerry and Obama cannot dictate terms or anything to Israel! WHY are Netanyahu and some of the others taking up any time with this insane, destructive man? What are the reasons that they are even allowing this crap to take place? Syria, Iran, Russia and every place else us telling those two to go to Hell. Why does not Israel do the same? Talk about weak with no spine! That is an understatement!
21. 2 A stench by any other name
lydia ,   Brisbane   (01.25.14)
Palestine is not YOUR land. 250UN resolution against Israel illegal occupation and you think you can play little Jack Horner with Facts..
22. Comparing Apples to Oranges Kerry is the POTUS rep.
lydia ,   Brisbane   (01.25.14)
Arafat was the Palestinians representatives. The ony thing they had in common was that both the US and the Palestinians are were well aware that the Israel illegal occupation has out lasted its usefulness and long pass its used by date.
23. President of Israel?
Max ,   Washington DC   (01.25.14)
Americans did not elect Kerry to be President of the United States and unless he is running to be President of Israel, how can he make promises to the Palestinians that affects every citizen of Israel and even the citizens of the United States by removing the IDF from the Jordan Valley and other strategic Israel Borders? When US or Israeli boots on the ground are removed, terrorists move in - just open your eyes Kerry!
24. #6. Leftist "peace" prattle is always wrong.
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.25.14)
We heard the same B.S. leftist "peace" prattle before Oslo, Disengagement and every other leftist disaster. Israel's true path is the same as the WW II Allies' path. Total victory with no concessions.
25. There is no Palestinian territory
Leon   (01.25.14)
Another empty promise from the former United States...
26. I respect Mr. Kerry many opinions very much.
Miron ,   USA   (01.25.14)
But he is in no way guarant of Israel security. he needs to know his place and perform his role. A bit more humble approach can be a lot more productive as far as policy making goes. And insofar as promising army removals, why not Mr. Kerry assure Afganies that our army, his army, leaves country, from whence terror came to US more than 10 years ago.
27. Invading minority Jews will emigrate to West, again
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.25.14)
28. Is Mr K unaware they want a Jew-Free state?
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (01.25.14)
29. Palestinians to guarantee Israels security
lydia ,   Brisbane   (01.25.14)
What a nonsense. Who dreams up this bs. Its like asking Hamas to stop the rockets targeting Israel from every which direction. Israel has p***ed off too many enemies .
30. 5.15 Israel's own self imposed obligtion UN242
lydia ,   Brisbane   (01.25.14)
The US has used its ONE veto to shield Israel from Int. Sanctions but neither John Kerry or Obama stole Palestinian land and imported a horde of 'fake' Jews to murder, harass and threaten the Palestinians.
