1. KERRY'S ATTACKS AGAINST JEWS ARE THE REAL PROBLEM
(02.05.14)
2. Obama and Kerry kiss the feet of Iran but insult Israel
(02.05.14)
3. Unacceptable?
Abraham Nachmias ,   Petach Tikva IL   (02.05.14)
What do you mean? Whatever Kerry says is the ultimate true and we the interested parts know nothing, at least not better than him? Please MRS. Rice, take a look to the last 30 years of USA external policy and you will understand why nobody respects your point of view!!!
4. Who invited him here anyways?????
Devorah ,   Jerusalem   (02.05.14)
Aren't Kerry and Obama Americans? Why are they trying to run Israel? STAY HOME AND MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.
5. No, criticism is a sign Kerry is doing things WRONG!
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (02.05.14)
Imagine you're in the back seat of a taxi, only to realize the driver is under some influence, doesn't know his way around the city, and is driving wild - taking out pedestrians and street lamps in his path. You beg him to watch out, to slow down, and finally beg to be let out. He takes offense at your "back-seat" comments, insisting you're lucky he was there to pick you up. Kerry is the driver, Obama the dispatcher who hired him and keeps sending him out on the road.
6. Kerry's approach is working well
David ,   Shiloh Israel   (02.05.14)
This guy just might do it yet? He's uniting everyone against him!
7. Kerry's two states
Qumbe ,   Somalia   (02.06.14)
Kerry needs to know that Jordan is divible into two to accomodate Palestinian brother instead of sub dividing tiny Israel.
8. "real issues"
CJK   (02.06.14)
1 refusal to recognise israel as the nation state of the jewish people. 2 continued terror attacks against the jewish population of israel by arab palestinians. 3 continued threats to destroy the jewish state by islamic terror states and groups, most prominently iran and its terror proxies. 5 continued development of the shia terror entity's nuclear weapons program. 6 threat by european entites, including the eu, and member countries of launching a boycott, divestment against israel. 7 impermissible interference by the obama admnistration and the europeans in israel's internal affairs. 8 the growing presence of al qaeda and other jihadists on israel's borders.
9. Facts are Not an attack anymore then IAF defending us
Rob ,   Ashqelon, israel   (02.06.14)
10. Maybe take the hint (you're not wanted here)?
Miracle Dog ,   Israel   (02.06.14)
11. #6 don't kid yourself
Sam ,   Kfar saba   (02.06.14)
12. Tough Skin? Than Why So Sensitive?
Steve ,   USA   (02.06.14)
For a person that says he has "tough skin" he sure is being pretty sensitive about the criticism, with the entire US government responding hysterically. Susan Rice tweeting furiously from the Whit House, the State Department Spokesman responding hysterically daily.... etc...
13. Peace process
Ellio lumbroso ,   Canada   (02.06.14)
These kind of approach was already made by President Clinton at Camp David , with Arafat and Ehoud Barak . And nothing worked . I have my doubts that it will ever work . The reason ? Both parties want the same thing .
14. They aren't personal attacks. Israel
michael   (02.06.14)
is just stating the obvious. The U.s position is so absurd that U.S. 'spin doctors' will have a hard time putting the Genie back in the bottle. That is of course, if the spin Doctors haven't gotten caught up in the spin.
15. Kerry's achievement so far : 5% of nerve gas shipped out of
ab   (02.06.14)
Syria. Don't you dare to criticize this Great Achievement
16. Amd also please remember the fiasco in Egypt :
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (02.06.14)
Kerry deals out Obama visions - but remember when Obama dealt out his own foreign power position and told Mubarak to step down ? Well, that was first fiasco by Obama. Who says that this American administration is so wise ?
17. Obama wants to shove Pal state down Israel's throat
Sam ,   Canada   (02.06.14)
The Palestinians reject a Jewish Israel but the Obama administration would like a Palestinian state anyways. It wants to suck up to Arab and Muslim states and expresses outrage when Israel resists. It tells Jews how much it loves Israel. Israel will have to stand up to the Obama bullies and do what is good for itself. There is a limit to how much Israel must grovel to Obama and Kerry. It's already released a bunch of murderers for nothing just to please them.
18. Enough on this so-called attention to Kerry
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (02.06.14)
He is not the greatest that ever lived - why such attention ?
19. US: Kerry has tough skin, personal attacks distract from rea
George Weiss ,   Teaneck   (02.06.14)
I propose that Kerry spend as much time on all the other crirical issues in the world as he does on Israel/Arab issue. Mybe he could do some good but I bet he will be met with even harsher reactions than he has been.
20. John Kerry
Harold ,   USA   (02.06.14)
Go Kerryh Go and good luck for your peace frame work.
21. It pains me to say this!
bill ,   Skokie U.S.A.   (02.06.14)
Why do the Israeli politicians think that the International Community will not treat them the same way that the Iranians are beign treated. This will happen in ordered to alter their behavior. Just as we look into the sky and make predictions about the weather in the same way Mr. Kerry is predicting the worlds next action in order to bring about a solution to this very complex and tragic reality, that concerns everyone. There is no way to stay neutral in regargs to the Isareli, Palestinian disput. It is depressing to see brother against brother it pains everyone! It's time for Jacob, and Esau to heel each other and love one another as himself!
