1. Before all else, the US ought to demand of the Palestine...
N.L.Katz ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (02.01.14)
...Liberation Organization (PLO) with which Israel conducts the talks, to make good on its written commitment of 20 years ago and amend the PLO Charter, first published in 1964. The PLO Charter continues, to this day, to call for Israel's demise; for the "cleansing" of the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people of its Jews; and, for the use of all means to achieve the above. If Mr. Kerry doesn't understand this matter, one wonders, what does he understand about the Arab Israeli conflict....??!!
2. WHAT DOES HE ( KERRY ) CARE ?
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (02.01.14)
Why should John Kerry give a toss about peace in the Middle East ? He is set up for life and will receive a marvellous pension etc. He does not ,repeat NOT reside in the region .
3. #1 Kerry thinks he can disguise a rancid piece of meat
Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (02.01.14)
by smothering it ketchup.
4. #2
Maurice ,   Montreal   (02.01.14)
Historical prestige! Can you imagine the amount of honors and prestige that his name would eternelly be associated with in the pages of history if he were successful?
5. Stay out of Israel, Kerry
Devorah   (02.01.14)
And continue destroying your own country with your XL Pipeline.
6. Thanks, N.L.Katz, for your post, #1.
Adam Smith   (02.01.14)
7. The Day After
Carlos ,   San Antonio, TX, USA   (02.01.14)
What happens on the day after the Palestinian state is established? The Iranian Embassy is opened in Jerusalem (the Palestinian Capital). Dozens (hundreds?) of Iranian “diplomats” are posted to the new Embassy. What happens on day three after the Palestinian state is established? Palestine enters into a mutual defense pact with Iran. What happens on day four after the Palestinian state is established? ?????
8. Quixotic
Nick ,   Den Haag Holland   (02.01.14)
don't think we're being quixotic. Noooo of course not,just slightly IDIOTIC to believe all the Arab crap.
9.  US BID NOT QIXOTIC
A SPADE A SPADE ,   SAFED OBVIOUS HOUSE   (02.01.14)
Not " Quixotic" merely : " foolishly impractical especially in the pursuit of ideals ; especially : marked by lofty romantic ideas or extravigantly chivalrous action . 2) CAPRICIOUS , UNPREDICTABLE.
10. Kerry...
Avi   (02.01.14)
It is amazing to see how relentless Kerry is in meddling in the affairs of other nations we are ancient people protected by god the land god gave us is not ours to forfeit vanity will not serve his lost pride as it did not for pharaoh or Hitler the upcoming holiday of Purim should give Kerry a hint if he claim to be our friend and allay he will turn around and walk away before it is too late...
11. QUIXOTIC: A RAP
DA RAP ARTIST ,   SAFED RAP HOUSE   (02.01.14)

MR CYNIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (02.01.14)
14. ENOUGH WITH THE THREATS
tTEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (02.01.14)
15. Kerry is bullying Israel in Munich...THAT
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (02.01.14)
says it ALL!
16. Leave Israel alone, political gangster Kerry !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (02.01.14)
17. Kerry's mobster threats against Israel.
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.01.14)
Kerry is trying to scare Israel into taking dumb self destructive things using mobster threats. There is no sane reason for Israel to cede Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria to the genocidal P.A. That is why he uses threats. Israel will be strong. Kerry will fail. The picture of Kerry becomes even more vile when you consider he is orchestrating the European pressure on Israel.
18. Huge victory for Palestinian fascism
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (02.01.14)
Mabrouk to the Palestinians, whose multi-decade propaganda and terror campaign is paying off. Instead of boycotting brutal Arab dictatorships who butcher innocents and rape their countries, Kerry is telling the world to boycott a liberal democracy because it builds houses. All this while the Palestinians continue a massive campagin of racism and deligitimization while they themselves have been proven to be thieves on a massive (multi-billion $) scale of Euro, American and Japanese tax money. What fools we are for failing to fight like they fight and demanding the Palestinian leadership be jailed for war crimes and theft. For they are indeed murderers and thieves.
19. EU/USA SANCTIONS ON ISRAEL?
JERSEY JEW ,   NJUSA   (02.01.14)
20. helpless Kerry
eva ,   frankfurt am main   (02.01.14)
Kerry is not very welcome in Germany, persona non grata in Egypt, the Maghreb countries will surely not provide him a warm welcome. The only country left is ISrael. His pressure on the Israeli government reminds me of Germany prior to 1939. Not very democratic.
21. Jon Kerry and his Lack of knowledge of the Middle East
Helene Shepsky ,   Oxford, Ms, USA   (02.01.14)
Kerry, Obama and the EU and UN continue to blame Israel for everything. Why don't they go and stay in Southern Israel for a few weeks without letting Hamas know. Maybe then they can see what it is like to have rockets continually shot at you, and the rest of the world says "don' fight back, it's your fault for being a Jew"!
22. Let's all Boycott Kerry's party of appeasers and bigots!
Chaim ,   Haifa   (02.01.14)
23. What short memories
Rodney ,   CT. SA   (02.01.14)
the leaders of Israel and the US have. They have completely forgotten what happened to Sharon and the US after the Jews were thrown out of the West Bank and Gaza. The God of Israel will not be mocked. He will repay, believe me.
24. Israel is a democratic state...
Rob ,   Orangevale USA   (02.01.14)
Kerry could indeed just walk away. Then what? I read all manner of hatred for the man. Do you that hate him have a better way? Step right up and see what your own countrymen call you. Are you one to flutter at name calling?(a resounding YES) Do you think you can do better? Know anybody with the balls to step up and be responsible for the near impossible. No, I knew you didn't. Vote to send Kerry home. We could use the money here at home and really, it's your war. Saddle up and go fight it by yourselves. The next round will be a doozy. Who cares right? Kerry should get out so you can witness the carnage coming as sure as tomorrow. We don't particularly care for Kerry, but we understand that this is the last chance for peace in our times in the middle east.. Your move Israel. shalom, rob
25. BOYCOTT ,SCHMOYCOTT
tTEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (02.01.14)
Do your worst .
26. Delusional
Sam SM ,   UK   (02.01.14)
So Kerry and Obama 'believe that a possible deal would be the key to an entire change of the Middle East'. Naive idiots - like the prospect of peace and democracy in Iraq.
27. Boycott around the corner
Harold ,   USA   (02.01.14)
Yes if the peace process fails the EU starts boycotting more than 75 pecent of Israeli exports.
28. " ISRAEL FACES BOYCOTT " ....YAWN
CAPTAIN OBVIOUS ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (02.01.14)
29. Kerry sounds more & more like one of the desperate houswives
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (02.01.14)
30. Mr. Kerry
Michael   (02.01.14)
When the Secretary of State speaks in absolute terms " that failure is unacceptable to us". He obviously, doesn't care if it is acceptable to Israel. This is problematic and one must wonder what is Mr. Kerry's intentions. It is funny how Mr. Kerry is thinking in an absolute . Yet, with Syria and Iran is position is somewhat more flexible. It is also disturbing that Mr. Kerry has softened the boycot against Iran. That stormed the U.S. Embassy in 1979. yet, threatens his friends with boycotts. Iguess Mr Kerry's definition of enemies and friends needs to be reevaluated.
