1. Kerry's 'strategic patience?
tiki ,   belgium   (04.30.14)
Hilarious!
2. Kerry hasn't given up on peace talks
jon ,   uk   (04.30.14)
Kerry should pressure the Palestinians for a change other ways he will be flogging a dead horse
3. This nut case should be considered person non grata
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (04.30.14)
Well maybe after psychiatric treatment it could be reconsidered.
4. Even after the terrorists say that
frank ,   rehovot   (04.30.14)
from Jorden to the Mediterarrean is theirs and Israel will cease to exist, Kerry and his ilk still think there is something to talk about? Hey, how about just give me a nobel prize in stupid and let's be done with him and obama...maybe he should stop taking and start listening to the terrorists he would gain some very interesting insight as to what they want...
5. Totally astonishing
Dr Petrie ,   petrie@yahoo.com   (04.30.14)
This is not persistence but spite. How many years have we all seen the US etc insisting, persisting that Israel make a league with terrorists? This is no difference whatsoever than Russia insisting the US make a league with al-qaeda? And would the US do it? What would Prince Kerry thing if Russia was to insist they did? And Israel is expected to do just that, divide its own country in two, give up half of its capital, which is Jerusalem. And then the so called palestinians would be happy, correct? These dough-heads in Washington know down deep inside what the next step is and that is to completely get Israel out of their own land. And Israel will fall for it because of its own desperation for a so called peace.
6. At last its dawning...
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (04.30.14)
That this ridiculous artificial deadline to the talks should be placed at all.. How could anyone POSSIBLY KNOW how long it would take, what unexpected hitches and difficulties would have to be confronted along the way And its these very deadlines that create UNECESSARY tensions, 'last minute demands', undue haste, bull in china shop errors of judgement....all of which are a crazy digression There IS NO DEADLINE...but there is a Mandate for the Negotiators to continue negotiating UNTIL THE JOB IS DONE
7. apartheid-disconnected from reality
myer   (04.30.14)
arabs and israelis can never have peace kerry envisions unless he forces israel to leave. his comment about apartheid and israel shows he could give a sh*t about israel. Bibi hangs with kerry because he is scared in his boots like gal on, herzog and the others that still linger in israel.
8. Bib capitulates to extortion.
michael Pielet ,   israel   (04.30.14)
"Extortion" talks.
9. Looks like he's got the Eternal Shimon's disease...?!
tom ,   tel aviv   (04.30.14)
Never back down, never say: "I'm sorry, I've erred"....
10. Is he on his way to interfere in Africa now
Alan ,   SA   (04.30.14)
11. kerry
doc ,   Cape Town   (04.30.14)
the americans just dont get it. The palestinians dont want compromise- they want it all. Abbas knows that pressure on israel will build. But israel must realize - better to be hated but exist, than to be hated and dead. By applying pressure on israel only, abbas doesnt need to negotiate - its all being done for him by a naive america and liberals who live in the world of theory.

13. The "Red Rat", aka: Hashtag Queen
Gideon Reader   (04.30.14)
Jen Psaki says Sec John EFFEN Kerry is spending strategic nap time in Africa and is very serene. Almost lifelike about the whole Mid East thingy. She went on to say that it would all have been done and dusted except for those pesky JOOOS, buggering up the Nobel project. The Sec'y is due back soon for his weekly Botox injections. She further noted that he was in fact begining to look a bit like Joan Rivers.
14. It's time to implement Bennett's plan
Israeli voter   (04.30.14)
15. Kerry forced them to the useless talks in the first place
Sam ,   Canada   (04.30.14)
Kerry never ascertained before talks if the Palestinians would ever accept a Jewish Israel. Like all Leftists he took it for granted. The talks were doomed to failure before they started. Netanyahu was pressured by the US to accept the idea of Jewish and Palestinian states. Cowardly US diplomats have never done the same to Palestinians. Kerry started to try and then quickly backed off.
16. #10 bigger fish to fry
(04.30.14)
The Europeans told him they won't support him in Ukraine, the Saudis announced they are going nuclear, Japan is starting to manufacture plutonium for nuke, and North Korea is increasing military exercises. Kerry has bigger problems than Africa.
17. #11 why?
(04.30.14)
Why do you say that? Kerry supported Al Qaeda in Syria and the Brotherhood in Egypt. What makes you think that Kerry "doesn't get it"?
18. "push" or "screw"?
tom ,   toronto, canada   (04.30.14)
so far, kerry has only ever "pushed" israel.
19. Cold Peace Possible.
Zechariah   (04.30.14)
It's essential as Territory if exchanged is followed by a long Truce or Cold Peace as the Different National Ideologies have no Remedy but Pragmatic Realism Is Possible.
20. inept incompetent naive fool. smile at him then walk away

21. BUILD MORE JEWISH HOMES IN A HURRY
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (04.30.14)
That's the only message with authority. Building Israel for Jews is a life long dream of all Jews and neither obama or kerry ( or clinton ) can force Israel to become another 'state' of America. Just say NO and BUILD LIKE YOU MEAN IT.!!!!
22. Never underestimate obama's hatred of Israel
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (04.30.14)
that's why this fool kerry keep persisting on Israel's demise, he's a paid idiot looking for a bigger stage when obama leaves office. Someone ought to tell him that both he and obama are not only out of touch their on their wrong side of history. The mid term elections will bring more problems for obama than he ever imagined. HIs dog and pony show is over. He has no power and now, no respect from either the Americans or our allies. nice going obama, you've made America a third world nation much like where you were born in Kenya. BUILD MORE JEWISH HOMES IN A HURRY.!!!!

24. To All Commentators
Harold ,   USA   (04.30.14)
John Kerry started his project in July last year and he will complete it this year no matter what the two parties say and do. Never forget he is the Secretary of State of the only Super Power.
25. #5
Harold ,   USA   (04.30.14)
A new state called The State of Palestine becomes a member of the United Nations this year no matter what you and your followers say. The only super power said so and you have to believe it.
26. #6:Either that, or until Sammy from Newcastle gets a brain!
tom ,   tel aviv   (04.30.14)
27. #3, RIGHT Dr. Stevie !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (04.30.14)
28. Kerry is MORE than crazy in the coconut !
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (04.30.14)
He is 100 % NUTS !
29. 3 not mine.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (04.30.14)
30. Kerry
GS ,   Germany   (04.30.14)
