1. Kerry
A V ,   London UK   (02.03.14)
The democrats in the US are not the same than those of twenty years ago ,today they are dangerous lefty thanks to actual gov
2. Kerry is a LIER & COWARD !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (02.04.14)
3. For the record, Kerry lied
Avi Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (02.04.14)
In Munich last week, Kerry said "Last year, not one Israeli was killed by a Palestinian from the West Bank" when in fact there were actually five Israelis murdered by 'Palestinians' in the 'West Bank' last year, and a sixth was murdered within the green line by a 'Palestinian' from the 'West Bank.' The five murdered Israelis in 2013 were: November 11 - Eden Atias October 10 - Seraya Ofer September 21 - Tomer Hazan September 22 - Gavriel Kobi April 30 - Evyatar Borovsky
4. Can anyone expect Kerry to stop disorting
Miron ,   USA   (02.04.14)
mere living Jewish people as a need for some "peace"? I men he didn't come with a good case on his hands, to talk about "disortions" to begin with. And I don't think he will be leaving with anything but matching the quality of the currency he started with. The old adage "an eye for an eye" takes very humorous meaning when you replace an eye with a pile of you know what.
5. There is no greater advocate since Theodore Herzl for Israel
Alan ,   SA   (02.04.14)
6. Take into consideration
Jerome ,   AKL   (02.04.14)
If you don't tidy up your room you might not be able to watch TV. Am I threatening? you bet! Kerry shouldn't have uttered the word boycott, as it turned out, it played into the hands of anti jewish org.
7. Democrats
Arturo   (02.04.14)
The modern democrats have become overtly racist and anti-semitic.
8. he is a liar and can not be trusted. begin turning away from
ralph   (02.04.14)
uk and eu as fast as possible. its the democratic party leftists who have become the enemy. we must find new friends and alliances. the right and christians are not our enemies now. its the left be they jews or not jews. and court jews.
9. This is not a time for "diplomacy", this is an all-out WAR;
tom ,   tel aviv   (02.04.14)
war with a hostile US Administration, represented by the eager, blood-smelling Kerry. It won't be our blood he gets to taste: that we must make sure of, inspite of long line of drugged Leftists and assorted Judeo-Quislings amongst our ranks.
10. Kerry is renowned college debater and orator!
r ,   USA   (02.04.14)
He knew what he was saying was more than a warning, certainly he could have forcefully made a case against boycotting Israel. He is a progressive and who knows what is real views are?
11. K has set "boycotts" in motion..Now he keeps telling Israel
Alan ,   SA   (02.04.14)
that to avoid "boycotts" ,we must play ball his way. He is the main and chief instigator of the "boycott" plans. It is KERRY who arranged the whole scenario now being played out by Europe .Kerry and only Kerry assisted by his Merry Men and Women!
12. BOYCOTT HEINZ
Israel ,   Raanana   (02.04.14)
Time to hit Kerry in his own pocketbook! BOYCOTT HEINZ people. His wife owns it and that's where you can make an impact!
13. Its his brain that is distorted
(02.04.14)
14. Naive
Ethan Schwartz ,   Eilat   (02.04.14)
I'm proud of how naive I am. When someone says something, whether they be American, Israeli, Palestinian or other pay attention and believe those words.
15. Mr. Kerry, you public pronouncements gives legitimization to
N.L.Katz ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (02.04.14)
those who are eager to boycott the liberal democratic and sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people. The sad thing is, you words totally lack balance. You know as well as we do, Sir, that the people who stand between the present state of affairs and peace are those who categorically object to accepting Israel's RIGHT to be, to exist as the sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people. Why don't you direct your scolding to them? Is the US fearful of a non-state, i.e. PLO, that until recently was designated by the US a terrorist group...??
16. Keep pushing Kerry
Sam ,   Kfar saba   (02.04.14)
You can make it happen and save the Israelis from themselves.
17. #16
(02.04.14)
Kerry was right about Syria, and thanks to him there is peace and prosperity in that war-torn land. Kerry was right about Iran, and thanks to him Iran has stopped developing nuclear weapons. sarcasm off
18. Frustrated
(02.04.14)
is kerry answerable to people that waiting for the nine months period and he came threatening boycotts as solutions?
19. expects?-who made him the king
alexi   (02.04.14)
israelis have every right to criticize kerry's plan, since their necks are on the line. Who the hell do kerry and rice think they are. And bibi is responsible for this because he is one who cautionned yaalon and then bennnett against personal attacks, another way of saying don't dispute my statements. Well bibi, your concessions stink, so do lapid's who takes karate but never served in combat(I wonder why),and kerry's and allen's plan on the jordan valley are garbage, exactly as yaalon called it. With US record in iraq falling apart, syria chemicals and afganistan,lUS has nothing to teach israel about security and kerry can take his plan home. likud, unseat bibi fast, fast, fast. He is a born weakling.
20. Kerry
DavidR ,   USA   (02.04.14)
Kerry is "supposed" to be the top diplomat in the (some believe) most powerful nation on earth. So, there is no excuse for this confusion of his remarks. The truth is, Kerry was right in what he said, however it was extremely stupid for a man in his position to say it. It appears he was threatening Israel. It is sure he was giving preferential treatment to the PA, by legitimizing the boycott issue. So, stupid remarks, or taking sides against one party over the other is not "diplomacy", it is ignorance. Personally, I believe he is too stupid to realize that obama is using him to help destroy Israel, if not, he is very evil. Both are probably true. Stupid and evil.
21. To: No. 4
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.04.14)
Distorting Distortion Oh, and as long as I'm at it -- it's "mean." Not "men." "Men" is not a category in which one would include John Kerry.
