Israel's "Emperor's Clothes" inevitably are slowly being revealed. The resulting transparency of true intentions & behaviours are being revealed. As long known, Israel & her supporters need to face their realities and understand their inevitable future based on their long-time non-Judaic or democratic behaviours. Remember, not one single American President supported Israel's Occupation and expansion ... sooon comes the UN & International Court. Hence, either force radical change or suffer the harsh consequences of isolated and on your own ...

The author boldly claims that he speaks about „reality“, but he is clearly speaking about racist, supremacist, and segregationalist Takatuka lands (“Bantustans”) under „Israel’s patronage“ which will never be accepted by any democratic people. The article clearly shows that the author wants Israel to top South African Bantustans building apartheid policy. Nice to know.

#2 - I think you meant to post this for some other article as clearly you were reading something very different - or you have a very vivid imagination

Kerry/Obama/Hagel know there is no change they will solve the rest of the world's problems. N-Korea/Iran, the rest of the Arabs and even Europe show them no respect and even laugh them in the face. The only place where they still have some influence is Israel and the only change for Obama to build his legacy is "Peace" between Israel & Palestinian. If, after he's gone all hell brakes loose, it's not his problem anymore.....it will be Israel's fault!

#1 is a typical depraved leftist who counsels Jews to cede our rights and turn Israel into a 9 mile wide concentration camp rather than face "isolation". Every sane Jew knows that isolation is infinitely better than suicide. Isolation is temporary. Suicide is permanent. Do these leftist cretins seriously believe Jew haters will start loving Jews if Israel cedes our rights and land? How dumb and suicidal can a human being be?

Anytime someone puts the word Palestinians between quotes shows that she or he has no sense of reality and no honourable intention to achieve peace.

Israel is pressured for several principal reasons, one, the United States is impotent on all other issues, Iran, Syria, Egypt, etc . Israel is weak, likely to submit to pressure. This is buttressed by the fact that a significant minority of israelies welcome the pressure and want to weaken Israel by supporting the creation of an arab terrorist state in Judea and Samaria, a proxy of iran at the gates of Jerusalem and Gush Dan. Kerry, is an egomaniac imotivated by his hatred of his Jewish roots. and finally, spending time in Israel is nice and convenient particularly with the fawning Israeli government., the King David hotel and the hummus.

if this goes anything like obama's 'health care' it'll be just another in a series of abject total failures. Jobs, housing, budget, hmm having a hard time trying to find something good that obama actually did, maybe his upcoming retirement? He and carter can go bust nails for the cameras.

I do not want the readers to have to focus on anything other than the Israeli - Palestinian problem. Get in your best jabs but at least be intelligent about it. It is not a one way street . There are faults on both sides but you all wear blinders when it comes to the faults of the Palestinians. Like history only began in 1967 ????. I'm tired of those that only believe one side of the story.

The problem is not Obama: it is Netanyahu. Netanyahu knows everything that Bechor writes, but instead of standing up for Israeli survival he mumbles platitudes about "not repeating Shoah" while doing his best to establish a lethal Arab state in the heart of Israel.

Actually the Corean crisis ,the eu financial crisis and a Syrian crisis are the price the internatinal politics is paying for the thesis that Israel and the Palestinian are at the heart of the conflict in the Middle East, and perhaps even in the entire world

but you could at least stop alienating the rest of the world.

Whether it's the US President, American Jews, French Jews, European governments, Palestinians, everybody. I think that the US can decide whether sending Kerry is in its interests or not. The US is in more of a position to tell Israel what is "should do" and if you don't like it Mr. Bechor, you can stop taking our money.

It would appear as if you couldn't make peace with a cactus because it has thorns that might hurt you. Kind of a fitting description considering you hold all the cards. They only hear the Pal side of how oppressive you are. The world sees a very different situation then what is really going on. They see you as a belligerent bully that has everything you need and are willing to give up none of it. As an American that reads all the major Israeli newspapers as well as other capital news org's, and has been to Israel three times, I do see what the true reality is, understand the terrible crux of the problem and sympathize with Israel. John Kerry's constant visits can only be good for Israel in that the clarity of the truth will shine thru. You have no peace partners and the world needs to see it irrefutably. America loves Israel, as it also loves a mean little brother. Understanding the little brother is paramount to helping him. We are our brothers keepers. Don't be angry, use his exposure for the truth, and be bold about it. The price of doing nothing will only increase in time, everybody knows that. Send Kerry across the checkpoints and he will tell the truth, no matter how loud Hamas and Abbas howl. Shalom Israel, Rob

#12. You are absolutely correct. Is Obama hostile? Of course. However, Obama is only a problem because Bibi is gutless. If Israel was led by a Churchill, instead of a wimp, Obama would pose no problem whatsoever to Israel.

Perhaps the author should just accept the reality of seeing Kerry in Israel every two weeks, and stop compulsively whining about it.

I do not think you are really part of the jewish people. Take it from this sefardic jew. Otherwise: a great article!!

Alienating the rest of the world? Sounds like a perfect description of Islam.

We do America what they do us. We arm Mexican cartels train them then tell Americans not to overreact when rockets are hitting your cities. Then tell you that Americans can't build in LA. Then we can help negotiations to see how much of America to give to the Mexican cartels. Fair is fair. This is exactly what the US does.

Geez! How old are you?

Hide your Iron Domes when he comes! Kerry famously said 'missile defense is a cancer upon the world.' He might decide to steal the missiles and park them in Rhode Island so he can escape the Massachusetts tax on rockets. Or he might get his wife Teresa Heinz to put ketchup on them and pretend they are hot dogs. Or he might throw them over the Capital fence, mistaking them for his Vietnam war medals and cause a horrible explosion that would awaken Obama at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Poor boy needs his sleep. Too much partying with sequester money!

To virtually every world leader, Obama is a joke. Nobody has trouble telling Obama "No". Nobody except Bibi. Obama relishes his power over Bibi, like a school yard bully, and treats Israel is despicable ways he'd never dare to treat any other nation. Israel must stop taking crap from Obama once and for all. Israel needs a leader who can stand up to bullies. Not cower before them.

predecessor...Madame who ? STOP meddling in Israels affaires, you US MORONS !

OUR advisors to help her out of the mess Mr.Hussein Barack Obama is putting her in. Poor, clueless Americans, have faith in Israel: we shall never abandon you!

However, I am also beginning to think that the real reason behind the US insistence on keeping the Israeli-Palestinian issue alive and kicking, is that this is the only conflict that can serve as a global focal point. Thousands of people can die all over the world and no one cares; one person dies over here and there is an immediate media outcry. America needs this focal point to hide their goings on from the rest of the unsuspecting world. They won't let go just yet. So, keep yours eyes to the skies and Switch on your little antennas; the truth is everywhere around us.

rightwing Israeli's don't like peacetalks doesn't mean it isn't the right or honorable thing to do! But than it's still en vogue to accuse Obama of anything isn't it? ;-)

obsession / project for his presidential tenure. Hey, wasn't he given an award for peace in the beginning? He has yet to fulfill this goal - right? Probably he wants to go down in history for achieving Middle East peace. Dream on !

You mean like the people who voted for Obama blame everything on Bush?
