1. Israel does not trust the Obama administration
CJK   (03.04.14)
ever since obama was elected president he has undermined israel and her prime minister benyamin netenyahu. obama has selected advisors all of whom are known to be hostile to the jewish state. obama himself is obsessed with the issue of the arab palestinians for no apparent reason except his own personal sympathies. obama's dictum that one makes peace with enemies is empty as is his claim that the cold war is over. obama's assiduous courting of the genocidal terror regime in iran is an apt summary of his blind, feckless foreign policy. israel canot rely on an incompetent hostile american prosident.
2. The John Kerry hot air balloon. America Fails.
Bernie ,   Erehwon, USA   (03.04.14)
3. Palestinian Dignity
Jacob E ,   Holon, Israel   (03.04.14)
Dignity is defined as: the state or quality of being worthy of honor or respect. That is the problem right there. Palestinians would have had dignity if they had accepted the division of the British Mandate and Transjordan. Or UN Resolution 181. Or the 49 Armistice Lines. Or any of the other dozen times they've had the chance for peace. But each time they've said no, they've lost a little dignity. Each time they've started a conflict or a war, they've lost some more. The dream of Israel is already done. We have our country. If they want theirs, they need to realize that they have very little dignity left and just take what is offered to them. If this is about the dignity of the Palestinians, it's about saving what little they have left.
4. Will not fail Israel (only) is failing the whole world
ydk ,   nyc usa   (03.04.14)
5. "TOO LATE!" You failed Israel despicably
Shlomo   (03.04.14)
6. The older Kerry gets
Corey Zimits ,   USA   (03.04.14)
the more he looks like Guy Smiley. In serious though, Kerry is liar number 3, right behind Obama and Holder.
7. Tell me this
Robert ,   usa   (03.04.14)
Tell me this , what has this administration succeeded in. look what this administration did with Syria , look at what they are doing with Iran. and now the ukraine , and not to mention how bad they have messed up America in general. You gotta be crazy to believe what they are shoveling. they have no credentials at all.
8. Syria. Ukraine. Israel.
Dan   (03.04.14)
Kerry and Obama will do for Israel what they did for Syria and Ukraine (not to mention Srebrenica). The withdrawal of the USA from the world has finally removed any reason for Israel to gamble on handing the West Bank to the completely unreliable Palestinians. Annexe it and Gaza now and transfer their populations out - the result is preferable to trusting America.
9. "US will not fail Israel"
(03.04.14)
...says Kerry who less than a month ago threatened Israel with a boycott.
10. America will not fail Israel
(03.04.14)
If you like your American support, you can keep your American support.
11. Yea, like the protected Ukraine after de-nuking them...
Security Sam   (03.04.14)
12. Syria. Ukraine. Israel.
Dan   (03.04.14)
Kerry and Obama will do for Israel what they did for Syria and Ukraine (not to mention Srebrenica).

13. Give Washington to the Pretend Pals.
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (03.04.14)
14. ''examples to the world''
(03.04.14)
(1) a hugh corrupt plutocracy despised by half the world and also now by half the people who live there and (2) a tiny ethno-state in the Middle East which half the people from (1) could not find on a map.
15. Complete BS...America has interests not friends
Al   (03.04.14)
Don't for a moment believe one word coming from the Americans. We all see the results of dumb moves..Oslo 1, Oslo 2 Hevron Agreement, Gaza Withdrawal, Sinai Withdrawal, Camp David etc etc. They were all devised to pander to the schnorrer leadership in Israel who are always about themselves. They can be bought off with a three day old felafel. The people end up suffering as they are continually subjected to on going terror and war. Israel knows no peace for the Israeli leadership are always trying to find ways to deny the nation victory over the Arabs. The Arabs deserve a routing, nothing less for waging continuous war against Israel. Israel owes them nothing.
16. Obama regime will never fail Iran or Putin.
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.04.14)
How can Lurch Kerry say these ridiculous things with a straight face? The Obama regime has done nothing BUT fail Americans and America's allies. Especially Israel. The Obama regime will never fail Iran or Putin.
17. Bye bye Ketchup Klown Kerry Heinz...
Leon   (03.04.14)
Glug glug glug that's the sound of your career flushing down the toilet of history...
18. Sec: won't fail Israel; Pres: can't defend Israel
Israeli-American Jew ,   Israel   (03.04.14)
Pres. trumps
19. Hitler spoke of dreams of other people...
Miron ,   USA   (03.04.14)
why don't he let those he speaks for worry about there dreams. For now we just need to know that tomorrow this guy won't open ovens in US for Jewish people or something worse. Given how much control he has over fascists in Ukrain it makes for a big question what the heck he will do when they take over in D.C.
20. This moron has neither balls nor scholarly study
Miron ,   USA   (03.04.14)
to access the depth and darkness of the tragedy he is pushing our world into. Forget Ierushalaim, forget America. An Crystallnacht went on in Kiev. And West, without failure, embraced fascists throwing boulders into storefronts and proclaiming vicious junta of murderous thugs democratic government. Unthinkable is happening in front of our eyes, and they are dancing happy and laud jig on the gravestones of murdered militzioners with wine in one hand and peaches of join in their mouths. The many faces of Don Juans of our times sitting in highest offices of our land. And I have a son and a daughter to raise here.
21. Is this not what he also told the Ukranians?
Jack ,   San Diego, USA   (03.04.14)
22. It is about
Israeli 2   (03.04.14)
you, the demise of Israel and the staunch support of all right wing Jews, Mr. Kerry.
23. Kerry
Paul ,   Boston USA   (03.04.14)
So Mr. Kerry are you still going to embrace us when as you said that the EU is going to boycott us and we will be an economic disaster? I doubt it.
24. Words!
Abraham Nachmias ,   Petach Tikva IL   (03.04.14)
Dear Mr. Kerry, USA already failed Israel and Obama, Clinton and you are actively working to get one not big failure like all the other things you tried. just that Israel will not quietly be your scapegoat! Look for another place were to get famous!
25. Chatterbox
Igor ,   Israel   (03.04.14)
26. The US promised security to Ukraine...
Dan ,   Hadera Israel   (03.04.14)
We see the results now. No thanks I feel like throwing up already with those empty promises and real pressure on us to commit suicide.
27. Too late ! US has already failed in
DT ,   TA Israel   (03.04.14)
GRAND style
28. It already has done - wonderfully !(end)
DT ,   TA Israel   (03.04.14)
29. Kerry Obama Can't speak for America
Norbus ,   Jerusalem   (03.04.14)
They most certainly can't speak about dreams of Israelis
30. ober fail
fly on wall ,   US   (03.04.14)
