disappointed by Kerry's comments. Indeed, those of us who have paid attention to details find Kerry an outright anti-Israel arrogant person who is motivated by other than fair play and the rule of international law and bilateral and multilateral agreements in place. It is sad that this is the face of America presented to the outside world.

Erdogan the pirate asked for an undue apology, Kerry behaving as a hurt mademoiselle asked for an apology reacting to legitimate freedom of speech. Now is the turn of Israel - just for the fun of it - to ask for an apology (a rhetorical one, no need to reply). Hasta la vista companeros.

Kerry should know Abbas issued three “No’s” last month with Obama: No recognition of Israel as a Jewish state; No giving up on the “right of return” of millions of Palestinian descendants of 1948 refugees to Israel; and no final end to the conflict with Israel in any agreement. The Palestinians have been offered a state three times since 2000 on virtually all of the disputed territories. Olmert practically offered them the house, except Israel becoming an Arab Muslim country. The Rejectionist Pals have rejected each offer. They Palestinians will not accept a “two states for two peoples that permanently ends the conflict and leaves Jewish Israel in place. That’s why they always leave the table or come up with dumb excuses to leave the table. They know that the price of gaining title to the West Bank is an end to the conflict and the conflict defines the Palestinians. Without it, to paraphrase Nasser, they are just another failed Arab tribe with a flag. There's also the point that having a conflict is a Goldmine for Fatah and Hamas leaders. Abbas and the other head thugs for Fatah have real intention or motivation for ending the conflict. They are welfare queens who make a fortune in easy handouts from the EU, UN and USA. Abbas knows the second the conflict is over the billions in aid ends.

Why doesn't Kerry apologize? We should stamp our feet and hold our breath just like he did. The two faced nature of the US is amazing. Supporting terrorism as a new national policy is disturbing. We should be moving a little further away from the US. We need to be "friendly" without thinking they are our friends....

PA is partners with Hamas. I.E.D.s on Gaza border. Daily Missiles fired on Israelis. Boycotting Israeli goods. Is this all part of the Palestinian peace process ?

A few weeks back, Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin wrote: "In advance of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent visit to the United States, President Obama gave an interview in which he viciously attacked Israel, suggesting that Israel was the cause of the peace process failure, that the United States could no longer protect Israel if the peace process failed and that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas was a man of peace. This past week, Abbas came to visit Obama at the White House. In advance of his trip, Obama made no statements expressing displeasure with the Palestinian Authority’s intransigence and its continued demonization of Israel.... "Obama is setting up Israel to take the fall"

administration is! when Ya'alon says speaks the truth and obumma and kerry don't like it they demand an apology! when kerry or obummer say something negative and hurtful to their anti Israel agenda they think they are like G-ds! I can't wait for them to be gone and out of power! there inflated egos will always be like jimmy peanut carter,always right about everything even when they are obviously wrong!

Prime Minister Netanyahu's office spoke with the New York Times and said Kerry's comments “will both hurt the negotiations and harden Palestinian positions.” I don't know about the rest of you, but I can't stand the truth being spun into a bunch of lies. The fact is that the prisoners were not released as promised end of story. The Palestinians never rejected the "Framework Agreement" as one was never presented. Now should the P.A. have done what they did in response to the Israeli side defaulting on theirt commitment? I would would have taken the high ground and not have retaliated, this was a missed opportunity to singal out Israel's position. Instead the Palestinians equally became guilty of offending Mr. Kerry's efforts.

Tho the expansion is not helpful at a result of Internal Pressure in Israeli Politics For the Bitochinim(security Focussed) it's the Jordan Valley Area that is Paramount and the need to keep out all Fatah Ba'ath and Islamic Jihadi from Judae and Samaria.Those Palestinians who want to Live in Peace with the Jews deserve Full Autonomy and Secured Human Rights .

Kerry's comments were so venomous that Israel should no longer allow him to be part of any furher negotiations.

The PA owes hundreds of millions of dollars for electricity, water, fuel and medical services. Israel should not simply freeze those tax transfers, as a freeze only lasts until Obama and Kerry demand they be released. Instead, transfer the funds to their debtors so there's no money to unfreeze. As Kerry might say, "Poof!", the money's gone.

I wish we could say 'POOF" and Johnny come lately would "VANISH" .....AM YISROEL CHAI

the big "BANG" of Obama!

The U.S. better can give no support to "islam". It is wiser to help Israel. May Israel exist forever and always!

israel must never again release mass murdering terrorists. nor should israel ever agree to freeze building in any part of the holy jewish city of jerusalem. if the arabs want a new state, they cannot make totally unreasonable demands. as is, the two state solution is becoming more unrealistic by the day. that which seemed a good and fair solution at one time now seems a utopian solution.

In 2 years, obama goes back to the south side of chicago, and kerry goes back to his 150 foot yacht.

... lien them! Put it towards the "Palestine" Authority's unpaid utilities bills.

And Kerry is willing to throw Israel under the bus. And he gets his instructions directly from Obama. Since there never were any negotiations and the PA never agreed to anything, how did this become poof. Did Kerry think Israel was giving away Jersusalem? Did Kerry ever think Israel and the PA would become buddy's if an agreement was reached? If it was not for military aid, Israel would dump the US in a minute just as the US will turn its back on Israel. Needless to say, I will give credit for this, the PA did beat up Israel in negotiations.

Now we see why , Ya'alon said the things he did about America's weakness. When Americas and Putin and all of Americas enemies see's the Obama Administration and Kerry as a joke , it's time Israel takes them as a joke to , A pathetic administration.

they are politically correct but seem to always be wrong!

into agreements then reneges. Common practice?

knowing full well that his mission was way past impossible.Israel will not make a deal with people who are sworn to destroy them.There is no chance and Israel must continue to build and fortify--Too bad for Kerry, he put in quite an effort and I'm sure he got paid well.By the way--Iran's the bigger problem and Russia's got every right to secure their border's--Nato's got them encircled.Let Kerry take a time out.

The Kerry plan 1) Give Palis everything they wish 2) Surrender Israeli lands 3) Free mass murderers "THEN POOF" PEACE IS AT HAND

Isn't REALLY an ally at all, Every Opportunity the b.H.o. admistration has To Lay Blame They Do So At The Feet Of The ONLY Light in the Region??? This cuurent U.S. administration Will Go Down In The Books as the MOST HOSTILE administration Towards their Only Ally In The Region!!!

It is clear to the entire world that Israel never negotiated in good faith. Pity.

After BHO's 1967 border stab in the back, we have Kerry distorting the facts, lying even, after one sided pushing of Israel to concede with no quid pro quo

and jails those who learn Torah (like the cantonists and communists) and are not interested in being a Jewish state, they will get hurt by outsiders. However, it will not take long before secular Israel will officially become a Jewish state run by Torah Jews. That's when Kerry, Obama and others will stop butchering Israel. In the meantime, let Netanyahu enjoy daily headaches from the US and UN.

kerry is blaming israel because the congress and senate were within their rights to withdraw the aid the u.s, gives to the palestinians if they joined u, n, agencies.obama has no intention of doing this and will probably ignore this and still try to coerce israel to negotiate and even give more incentives încluding more murderers .kerry whose former gradparents were jews who converted to christianity should refraain fromblaming israel and jews .history has shown the results to judaism by those that blamed the victim.jews over the last 2000 yrs. including kerrys relatives have paid the price.how kerry can do this knowing full well the palestinians are not negotiating in good faith is not forgiveable.
