This is the biiggest list of hypocrites I have seen in ages! Here in America, free speech is thought to be a "natural" right....so what is Kerry's issue? As to Bibi and Yvette, only they can speak freely?

Learn from Moshe Feiglin. He keeps telling the truth and NEVER backs down. That is what Israel needs from Patriotic Right politicians. You were absolutely correct about Kerry and his self serving Nobel Prize chasing egomania. So why did you back down? Almost all of Israel supported you!

NONE. When truth is spoken.

Worst apology ever. U.S. should recall its ambassador.

Ya'alon created an unnecessary diplomatic incident to show his independence and he had to apologize. It should also be noted that he panders to the ultra Orthodox by refusing to draft them and further he clearly did not even speak to VP Biden during Sharon;s funeral. Those who are applauding his actions please take note-the man is a fool...

You see, a Republic Banana does not open a big mouth, The Palestinians insult the Americans and Kerry so many times I lost count, any body issued an apology? they are not a republic banana. So next time its very important not to bite the hand that has the leash because they might pull on it

Yalon said what every cabinet member is thinking, with the exception of Livni and that Atid guy. It needed to be said, straight to his facelift. Now it's out there, the message has been conveyed. The signal was received, loud and clear. Any excuses or backpedaling is merely windowdressing, and Kerry knows it.

Yaalon wants a Strong IDF presence to block Islamic Jihadists getting in and as a Shield Layer against against Rockets from the east and north .Kerry has huge numbers of security Personnel Working on iron Clad alternatives.the Pa would accept NATO troops but not Israeli.So it's a status Quo impasse .

Once upon a time the threat of Israeli action alone dictated policy, Israel taught the US counter terror and Israel acted unilaterally. This PC B.S. has got to stop, at least for national pride. The US under BHO is a paper tiger, its culture rotten from the inside out. An Israeli 6th greater is more sophisticated in in the area of middle eastern language and culture than a professional US State Department "diplomat". It is self-evident that the world and the US are obsessed with Israel, just look at any newspaper headline in any decade of the last 50 + years. Israeli leaders need to understand this and let the US eat out of their hands. There is not a US president past, present or future that doesn't want the mantle of "I made the Middle East peace" as his epitaph. For starters try Syria or the rest of the Arab world. if you can handle that then come back to Israel. As a refrain from Jimi Hendrix there will be no peace in the ME until the Arab peoples love peace more than power.

You are absolutely right-Kerry and Ob are one and the same.

Yes, Ya'Alon is truthful in his remarks, but what was he thinking in launching insults? How do his comments help Israel, by insulting Kerry?

....why did he apologise? That's the mark of a coward.

Please tell us as Americans, whether to quit the so-called 'peace process' or not. It is your country, and I'm really unsure how much you want from us in America. I will tell everybody I know what your answer is, and encourage them to do what they think is right after discussing your response. I am one of millions of Americans paying for this Sec. of state's travel and persistence. He is an American, and as such is only one in a myriad of statesmen that has endeavored to help you in your crisis, and yes, we here in America view it as a crisis. What do you want? Tell me and I will trumpet it to the world as I can have access to it.(Believe me, it is a very wide access). I am not a fan of any man, but this particular man is not there to invite your derision. If anybody has more energy and is willing to push Kerry aside, I await your results. Peace process my ass. Fire up the war machine, or make peace, it's your call. let me know. Shalom Israel, rob

As both a Vietnam veteran and an American patriot, Kerry is a disgrace to my country. He is simply another arrogant politician (besides Obama himself) who is totally ignorant of Israel's history and the Biblical account of God's (El-Shaddai's) land grant to Israel as well as the Quran's directive to conquer the "people of the book" by the sword, if necessary. LIke Obama, he may well be just another heathen in Washington who has never read Genesis 12:1-3.

This trying to force Israel to give up land for peace is not in with Gods word. God Himself gave that land to the jewish people.

No apology needed. If anything Yalon's Comments were mild. Kerry is nothing more than "flavor of the month" USA know nothing diplomat, trying to tell Israel how to run the show. Let Kerry loose on Seria first before coming to our backyard.

Yaalon statement was in fact pretty restrained . Yaalon stated the fact of a situation as he saw it. He could have been more explicit and pointed the finger to Obama's agenda. Kerry is acting purely as front man for Obama Obama drives the one sided PIECE talks hands on through Ambassador Indyk . Obama is intent on putting Israel in harms way, and out of the way He already sold the Middle East to Russia and Iran, disappointed that he could not establish Morsi and MB Sexuality plays a major part in politics T E Lawrence empowered Arabs post Ottoman Edward Heath sold out UK Sovereinty to Germany Obama Seroto turnrd the Middle East upside down and single handedly destroying USA

It's about time to call Kerry, Obama and the rest of these self-aggrandizing empty suits on their path to destroying Israel. The defense minister is standing up for Israel in the Arik Sharon tradition. Kol ha chavod!

We apologize for speaking the truth if it offends anyone.

Should the little boy in the fairy tale apologize for telling the truth that the "emperor has not clothes." I think not. Nor should Yaalon. I'm not a rocket scientist but it would seem to me that 14 trips to Israel by Kerry is "obsessive," what else could it be? Kerry and Obama will no longer be in charge in 2 1/2 years, so why should we risk our security for a piece of paper. Get real and applaud Yaalon for telling the truth. I'd rather have a politician that tells the truth than one that tries to sell a fantasy.

and replace Usa with Russia or China! Thats what you mean?

After a brazen attempt to scuttle the "peace talks" for whatever their value, a worthless letter of "apology" has been issued.

First we apologize to the turkeys in Turkey, then we apologize to the loser Kerry, so what is coming up next? An apology to Khamenai in Iran?

What a circus? First saying things to offend Kerry, afterwards to be obliged to apologize about it! He's good to be a simple Knesset member, an opposition one... but to be a minister on such an important post: forget it. Time to resign! I don't discuss if Ya'alon is right or wrong. I understand him very well, but in his position he must be in public, in his public or semi -public statements: neutral.

Mainly because the American taxpayer profile has changed and people are wondering what they get out of giving Israel $25 billion per annum when they cannot afford to send their children to the dentist. Ya'alon may have given Obama the traction needed to kick AIPAC off the hill
