61. Sotero/Kerry will soon name the state of Israel..
Beary White ,   Norway   (03.29.14)
..as the homeland of infidels,,to satisfy the islamic-cult-followers..!! This will be a trick to be done to remove the word "jews" in this current situation. Then, to actually compare Sotero/Kerry with the leadership of Iran.; Iran will wipe Israel off the map, while Sotero /Kerry wants to wipe the word jews from the vocabulary. Both will badly suffer when the days comes, and have to write a billion times on the blackboard: The Jewish state of Israel = Israel. The Jewish state of Israel = Israel. (and so on. . a billion times..)
62. Dan Kurtzer's formulation
Avramele   (03.29.14)
If I am not mistaken this is close to the formulation of former Ambassador to Israel Dan Kurtzer (an orthodox Jew BTW). It does three things: protects the immigration rights of Jews to Israel; does not compromise the political and civil rights of existing non-Jewish citizens of Israel; and avoids defining what it means to be a Jewish state upon which there is no Jewish consensus, not in Israel and not in the Diaspora. It also borrows the language of the Balfour Declaration which connects to our Zionist aspirations. All in all a good linguistic formulation for this Jew and Zionist.
63. What's Gaza to be called?
Ben S ,   Free World   (03.29.14)
The "National homeland for terrorists"
64. Jewish state
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.29.14)
According to Israel's declaration of independance it was named "the Jewish State called Israel"

EVIL clown !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
66. And America is national homeland for the Indians !
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (03.29.14)
So-called Americans are occupiers. Just so Kerry knows - I resent his and the admin's interference with our politics. Such hypocrites !
67. The secure National Land for the Jews.
Zechariah   (03.29.14)
68. National homeland for jews
Chaim ,   Petah tikvah, israel   (03.29.14)
What a chutzpah to suggest how we should rename our country. What about giving Obama the title "former Muslim president Barak Hussein Obama."
69. Dont skip to define the United States
Matilde   (03.29.14)
Lol @62 did your teacher told you the american country have a bunch of guys called republicans, democrats snd tea partys crashing into each other arguments? While they impress tourists with the statue of liberty, the american goverment remotely spies on his citizens, friends & allies. They were a british empire colony, thats why hawai belongs to them & also islands in the caribe. Of course, if define means to limit, it seems they havent applied to themselfs the concept.
70. Kerry suggests Israel as a national homeland for the Jews
Geoff ,   London UK   (03.29.14)
NEWSFLASH Mr kerry - Lord Balfour already did that and they Arabs rejected it then too!
71. "39. Israel is like your kid on drugs.... "
A ,   Belgium   (03.29.14)
And you are like the father, sitting in the couch popping another beer while munching on buffalo wings and watching "NFL Tonight". No wonder the kid wants to build his home on a barren hill in Samaria.

A ,   Belgium   (03.29.14)
clean bedbans, y'heeyeh b'seder, even for untermenschen as yourself. How many crimes did you solve today, Benazsi?
73. national homeland
shaya ,   israel   (03.30.14)
this is our land every arab that ever lived in the land of Israel came from Egypt, Jordan Iraq and one of the other 22 arab countries in the 1800's when Jews started to come back home from the Diaspora, the arabs don't belong here they should go back to where they came from, they were never a majority in my country and never will be, this is our homeland for 3000 years and it will stay ours, and there is no people in this world that are strong enough to make us give up what has always belonged to us.

shaya ,   usa   (03.30.14)
with allays like Kerry and Obama we don't need any enemies they are doing a great job trying to destroy the only people in the world that back the USA 100% of the time and thats because just like you they are Jew haters.
75. Taylor T: visits the Land Of Milk & Honey
ASTRONAUT ,   SC, USA   (03.29.14)
Love your analogy Taylor: Israel = drugged out/self-destructive teenager. Whereas in a mere 60 years, hard working Jewish pioneers and visionaries have built an ECONOMIC GIANT where there was once a desert. Try visiting The Land Of Milk & Honey, Taylor. You just might fall in Love.
76. Kerry and Israel
Diane B. ,   Perry,Ga.   (03.30.14)
Kerry, you are barking up the wrong tree! Israel is God's country and He gave it to the Jews! You are as bad as Obama!
77. History shows...greed, hubris are the Arab drugs of choice
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.30.14)

Matilde   (03.30.14)
Well, you know? At least, Sir Balfour knew that the history of the world started with the Judaism. Maybe Kerry is more likely to focus on what he knows than to learn about what he dont lol
79. Palestinian Lands
Augustbrhm ,   Arima Trinidad&Tobag   (03.30.14)
The Zionist do not want peace America`s 5billion and all of Palestine
80. vicky, Ashkelon Israel
Lavi ,   Montreal, Canada   (03.30.14)
Where do you come up with these baseless stories????? The bible was written by a man, NOT by God. Any man or person could of wrote whatever they wanted at that time so people stay in line. And for your information Aliens were here before us and are still here. Your religious version of a God is false and you can't prove that God or angels exist. For all we know, they were all Aliens and people didn't know what to call them at that time. Peace
81. #76 Diane
Lavi ,   Montreal, Canada   (03.30.14)
Prove it to me???? Israel is God's country lmao. There is no religious God like you say and everything written in any book, bible, magazine is man made. The best part is that your so blinded by reality, that you don't even know the real story in your own bible (man made book). God said you won't be allowed to return to the promise land until you get along with all your neighbors, which hasn't happened yet. So I guess in some way, your saying God is a liar according to your own words. Your very intelligent.
82. What identity? You are a bunch of frauds
lydia ,   Brisbane   (03.31.14)
What is staring you in the face is Israels 1948 declaration of Independence. Either it's valid or its NOT! If NOT you have no legitimate leg to stand on. If it has then Israel exists ONLY within its own self declared boarders hence the numerous UN res. against Israels illegal occupation.
83. 18 Big Ears! Bible Fables/Fairy tales not LEGAL
lydia ,   Brisbane   (03.31.14)
FACTS: When Israel UNILATERALLY declared its 'State" in 1948 Jerusalem was not a part of it. Nobody is asking fake people to divide Jerusalem they are asking them to p**s off back from where they came
84. Glass Palestine Bibi
Vladamir ,   Denmark   (03.31.14)
Just take out the terrorist on your doorstep. Show the world what backbone looks like and maybe, just maybe, the EU will learn to follow suit!!!
85. 4Your problem is Israels 1948 Ind declaration
lydia ,   Brisbane   (03.31.14)
RoR for Jews but none for Palestinians? "The moving finger writes ....." Go back to Est. Euro for you've used up whatever goodwill once existed for Hitler's Jews in the Middle East.
86. The Jeweish State
john costello ,   McFarland, USA   (04.01.14)
Israel's position as US ally has done more to wreck the standing of international law, our reputation as a just force for peace and the entire fabric of the modern, pluralistic democracy, in general, than even the Holocaust. That wickedness was addressed and led to much of the good things I have just named and which Israel continues to degrade. We left theocracy behind to find a better life. We found our nation on the basis that religion has no place in the public square and now the world's spoiled brat is forcing her weak-minded uncle to renounce all he once held high. Shame!
87. It's not up to the US to define what Israel is.
Zvi   (04.01.14)
Kerry the Assad-hugger is at it again.
