1. God help us all . .
Mike ,   NZ   (07.28.14)
If this. Is how the US supports it's most trusted ally in the Mid East then god help us all. It would be better to have Putin's support.
2. More than 1000 Palestinians Killed
ltrail ,   United States   (07.28.14)
I suppose it's not possible that the reason for the many casualties of Palestinians is largely due to the fact that Hamas stages there rocket attacks in the midst of civilian populations. Nah. That couldn't be the reason. The PA needs to destroy Hamas themselves to save Israel from having to do it for them.
3. Obama's pressure="fire onlyw hen fired at"=Death of 4 soldi
ab   (07.28.14)
-ers today,terrorists not fired on while preparing mortar salvo that killed the soldiers
4. Kerry is our best friend
jochair ,   kfar saba Israel   (07.28.14)
I recognize Kerry has the best intentions, but he does not listen to our needs. only what the VN saysand he doggedly continues with the two state solution, that is DOA. peace will happen when Pals stp their agression against Israel, that has now gone on since 1880.
5. the entire obama regime is extremely bizarre
K   (07.28.14)
they side with hamas, with qatar and turkey against israel. they side against egypt, israel, and other us allies who are fighting al qaeda. yet they complain and play the victim.
6. Cry me a river
ROBERT ,   FARMINGTON,WV   (07.28.14)
Cry me a river and get over.
7. News Flash: Israel is a democracy; the Israeli government
(07.28.14)
does NOT control the speech of news casters, or the general Israeli population. Perhaps the White House has chosen to forget the meaning of "free speech" and "transparency".
8. She is 100% correct up to a point
Murray ,   Montreal   (07.29.14)
Just ask Angele Merkel
9. John Kerry is an idiot
gregg bowman ,   Parksville, Canada   (07.29.14)
John Kerry know nothing about the middle east situation and is proving it every time he opens his mouth....the US can hoot and holler all they want...an idiot is an idiot.....warm regards, Gregg Bowman, Canada
10. Strange
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (07.29.14)
There has been absolutely no comment about Kerry by any government official period. Ha'aretz is well known for inventing stories. So the US is all pissed-off because the Israeli government said nothing at all. Grow up already
11. real friends
Mendoza ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (07.29.14)
know that sometimes they can disagree and even say no to a best friend.The wealthy uncle should have already learned this somewhere along the way.
12. What Was Kerry Thinking?
Manny ,   N. Miami Beach USA   (07.29.14)
Yes, yes, yes...Kerry is Israel's friend...Obama is Israel's friend... No better friends exist. It's a good thing HaShem is in charge, otherwise I'd be worried...
13. What are we, keeping score???!!!
DvorahTheProphetess ,   SC, USA   (07.29.14)
Would it please Kerry et.al., if ONE MILLION ISRAELIS WERE KILLED?? Is that the problem? Not enough ISRAELIS have died to "even out the score?" This isn't a tennis match you idiots! Hamas slaughters their own women and children, using them as the Ultimate P.R. tools as they hold them hostage in schools, hospitals, civilian neighborhoods – while IDF drops flyers warning the citizens to evacuate.
14. Obama is the worst friend of Western civilization
Gabriel ,   Budapest, Hungary   (07.29.14)
Better he goes to preach to Saudi Arabia and Indonesia. Israel should not rely on current US government.
15. obama administration
Zvi ,   Canada   (07.29.14)
It looks like obama administration is on full arab oil payroll.
16. Civilians Right HA! HA!
diskmaster2 ,   Western Wa. State US   (07.29.14)
AlJazeera has been keeping a list of names and ages of the dead. Google: "Gaza under siege: naming the dead last update" You will be able to find some stat's. Very interesting.
17. is that so......
les ,   canada   (07.29.14)
if the "us is fuming", imagine how israel feels from the constant back stabbing it gets from from the hussein/kerry comedy duo.
18. 10
Birdi ,   Israel is ours.   (07.29.14)
A true friend will never stab you in your back. A true friend will never laugh in your face, a true friend will never talk behind your back. A true friend will support you through thick & thin. Obama is not a friend to Israel, he never was, he never will be. The sooner we realize this, the better. Our ears need to be closed, our eyes need to be open, at all times. We can win this war, with our own strength & the support of HaShem. May G*d Bless our soldiers & keep them safe. Am Israel Chai.
19. Kerry tried to "swift boat" Israel
Susan ,   Kfar Saba   (07.29.14)
and our politicians called him on it.
20. everyone is fuming
(07.29.14)
Obama is fuming because Netanyahu did not immediately follow his orders to cease fire and save Hamas from defeat. Israelis are fuming because 10 Israeli soldiers are dead thanks to Obama's cease fire. Hamas is not fuming: they got the best Eid el Fiter gift they could imagine from Obama.
21. #9
mark ,   ca   (07.29.14)
Greg, any president with an IQ above 90 would not appoint this man to this position. But to be fair to kerry, he is a messenger at best. Kids, look at the side effect of excessive use of Botox!!
22. Israel must break with this US Admn Treachory.
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney   (07.29.14)
Friends don't accuse Israel of illegally occupying Israel. Better to have no one than a treacherous friend.
23. Radical Egalitarians!
zelig ,   Memphis,U.S.A   (07.29.14)
John Kerry and Pappa Doc Obama are radical eglitarians.There is nothing right in the world.There is nothing wrong.Everything and everybody is equal.Jihadis are to be accorded the same respect as librarians.People who lob missiles with recklass abandon must have their "grievances".Maybe what we need is a post Eid "Shwarma Summit" where everyone can eat and drink and sing Kumbaya! These two nudnicks won't even protect the American border.Why should anyone think that they care about Israel's border? Bless Obama and pray that he'll grow a brain someday.But the true hero today is dead and burried.G-d bless "Star Wars" Ronald Reagan whose dream came true with the help of American money,Israeli engineering and with the grace of Hashem
24. Correction
Tommy HellFinger ,   Toronto   (07.29.14)
I've stopped calling them stupid, ignorant and such. They know very well what they are saying and doing...
25. this us admins.
oded ,   u,s of obama....   (07.29.14)
is simply bar none the most pathetic anti israel.america since their mutual creations. j. kerry is as dumb, clueless, power- grabbing spotlight- hugging bufoon of the first order. and his kenyan master is not better. screw them both!
26. As Syria and Arabs kill hundreds of thousands of Civilians
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (07.29.14)
Some guy named Kerry ....wants to stop some people of a different Culture...(Jewish---ahem) ....from protecting Jews from Arab slaughter? Why is it that Kerry and Obama only try to stop Jews from protecting themselves against senseless slaughter of their civilians? Just because no one in the Gaza Strip built bomb shelters with UN supplied cement...does it make it Israels fault...that so many Arabs have only access to tunnels to attack Israelis.......built with UN supplied cement. They started a war...and cause and effect have left them with casualties. Syria has mass casualties...and Obama and Kerry only focus on stopping the culture that they deem unworthy of protecting themselves. It's a public joke. If you want to cross the border into the United States...they will be happy to help anyone. we have no borders anymore here. Think about that...before you listen to the king.
27. Kerry and Obamanation
noel nesor ,   Israel   (07.29.14)
Let them fume - we must protect ourselves. taking their bullying advice would be catastrophic.
28. With Friends Like Kerry ...
Ami ,   Tel Aviv   (07.29.14)
With friends like Kerry and Obama, Israel has no need for enemies.
29. own medecine
michel ,   Ashkelon   (07.29.14)
After treason, lies and hypocritical behavior from them, any critic is nothing in comparison. The protectors of terrorists would merit better trial and jail.
30. Opinion from Texas
Texana ,   Dallas, Texas   (07.29.14)
The US State Department spokesperson said that this (criticism of Kerry) "is not the way that allies treat each other"... the way that Obama and Kerry have treated Israel is NOT the way that allies treat each other by betraying Israel and stabbing our allies in the back. Won't vote for any Democrats here, trust me!
