1. wtf?!
tom ,   toronto, canada   (10.17.14)
the state department holding a ceremony to mark eid? that's a pretty clear violation of the united states' constitution, which prohibits the government from promoting any one religion. it's odd how the current administration seems to be particularly oblivious to constitutional law.
2. This guy has even less knowledge.
Barney ,   USA   (10.17.14)
Than I thought. His pic in dictionary under naive idiot
3. Obama administration's blood libel against Jews
CJK   (10.17.14)
the obama regime is making the absurd claim that the rise of the so-called islamic state on large swathes of territories in syria and iraq is the fault of the jewish state of israel. the obama regime is in fact claiming that the very large scale slaughter of christians, yadzidi, moderate muslims, is the fault of the jews. never before has there been such an antisemitic american administration. obama and kerry are openly inciting the entire world against the jews.

recruitment". It is also causing the spread of Ebola, the melting of the polar ice caps and the continuing economic differences between the wealthy and lower classes. In short, every world problem can be pinned on the "unresolved Israel-"palestine" conflict", if you believe John Kerry and his puppet master, Oblabla.

6. Ghengis Khan Factor in Reality
Zechariah   (10.17.14)
The Humanoid Mass murder and Plunder Gene explains Islamic State better .Its a eternal phenomena and the Jewish State is not Responsible . .In any case The USA and The USSR can destroy Islamic state with great ease through Last Resort Weapons which can destroy mainly Combatants .Tribal Herd Wars are Entrenched in history and the Future .I don't believe the Palestinians will Demilitirize neither Russia or the USA .Kerry is Desperate and makes Inaccurate Statements .Needs to review his Cognitive and Emotional Capacity .
7. Windows 10 & the palestinians
Reeble Coldpepper ,   Detroit, USA   (10.17.14)
What Kerry means is, Israel is the reason for the isis recruitment. Yes, that's it, it's Israel's fault. What a wonderful man!
8. Let me get this straight....
Jay   (10.17.14)
The Islamic State (IS) is actively killing Shiites, Yazidis, Kurds, Christians, and many more, because of Israel? How does this even connect? The IS is inherently against a Palestinian State on the grounds that said territory, the land of Israel, would be part of a caliphate. That is why they are destroying the border between Iraq and Syria and effectively trying to undo the Sykes-Picot agreement. They do not want separate Muslim states, they want one big, ethnically cleansed, state called the caliphate. Literally John Kerry has failed upward to attain this position in the US government.
9. Dear Diary
J. Kerry ,   Lurchville   (10.17.14)
Dear Diary, The Eid-al-Adha festival was pure light, life and enjoyment! I cannot recall having such a wonderful time before. I threatened Israel with ISIL in order to resume the peace talks (and win my prize). I used the old "humiliation and denial and absence of dignity" trick. Let's see if they take the bait. I'm so clever it sometimes scares me. J
10. YES what Kerry is saying is true!
Rachel ,   Here   (10.17.14)
Other things that are helping the terrorists' cause are: 1. Delay of new iPhone shipments. 2. Internet streaming glitches. 3. Castro not selling 501 Levi's 4. Sun Spots etc. You see EVERYTHING causes terrorists' recruitment to increase. Makes you wonder, doesn't it.
11. Shame to Kerry & his pupette master
tomer ,   ok aviva israel   (10.17.14)
this unbeleivable coming from secretary state of one of biggest nation in the world the jews are responsible of calamities of the world shame to you kerry , next month the republicans will make make you jobless you & obama puppet master the reality is islamo facists terrorists are ready to strike mainly in Europe , and you are desperate to appease them including Iran
12. Kerry bribed with oil money to libel
(10.17.14)
13. Kerry the obsessive fool
tiki ,   belgium   (10.17.14)
From all the nonsense he spoke, from all the mistakes he made this ones tops all. According his 'understanding, IS wouldn't exist 'if there just would have been a Pal State. I'm sure that even the Pallies have a good laugh at this ludicrous idea. No wonder the world is in turmoil with idiots like Kerry & Obama 'leading it and when there is no answer or solution (an International coalition getting nowhere) , the Jews are to blame.....as usual!
14. #4 Don't worry
(10.17.14)
Your end is near, warmongers. Whether you're from ISIS, Hamas or right wing.
15. Kerry is telling the truth, and it hurts
Harri ,   EU   (10.17.14)
Maybe it is time to wake up and understand that Israel is not living in a bottle. You cant continue violating Palestinians rights without consequences. 4 million human beings under occupation and without normal civil rights is a dream come true situation for every terrorist organisations recruiters. It is so wrong that even terror operations can easily be painted right.
16. #14 You are finished too. Believe me.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (10.17.14)
17. To 15 Harri, Can you explain further?
Jay   (10.17.14)
I don't understand your point. Could you elaborate on how ethnically cleansing Kurds, Shiites, Yazidis, Christians, and many other groups would lead to a Palestinian state? Also can you explain how the Islamic state can use the idea of "Palestine", when their goals of a caliphate inherently contradict the creation of said "Palestine"? To clarify, the creation of a Caliphate over the entirety of the middle east would effectively erase a Palestinian state as it would be absorbed into the Caliphate. Further, can you actually show me a recruitment video of the Islamic State where they mention "Palestine" or Israel as a call to arms? Thank you for your time!
18. Existance of Christians fuels IS recruitment
(10.17.14)
19. Just imagine Kerry winning
Nick ,   Sweden   (10.17.14)
the presidential elections in 2004. Compared to him, GWB has a superhuman intellekt. WTF is goning on on this planet? We used to be affraid of Soviet Union and the US were the good guys !!!
20. how can you help john kerry
bruce ,   northern israel   (10.17.14)
The World is a stage. You played your part for what it was worth. You take your bow and leave.
21. Poor Kerry!
bibus   (10.17.14)
He is re-broadcasting the misinformation phrases crafted in Tehran. Is he reading it from the CIA reports?
22. Total bull
Avi L.   (10.17.14)
What fuels ISIS, Hamas, Taleban, Hezballah, Al Qaeda and all those fanatics is Mohamad's "message". Why should they fight Alawis, Shias, Hindus, Jews, Christians, Atheists? Because of Israel? It's 1700 years they are killing each other and everybody else in sight, and Arab League sponsored Kerry is blaming us? For sure ! This is what the Arab League has been saying since 1948, it's the same that Khomeiny said, it's what the world has been fed since they have petrol money to buy media, movie makers and politicians.
23. Actually ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.17.14)
... what's fueling recruitment has more to do with tonnage being dropped on Iraqi and Afghani civilians than anything else. Kerry is a jackass, and he's all about the smoke and mirrors. He has a great future as a ketchup or snake oil salesman. He's just his Kenyan master's puppy dog, and his Kenyan master has decreed that the Jews are to blame for everything. But Eid celebrations at the State Department? Mr. Kerry might want to read the First Amendment.
24. Disgusting...
Scott ,   Haifa   (10.17.14)
He's got to be a raging anti-semite to make such ridiculous claims. Either that or a total clueless naive person in such an influential position - God help us. Not sure which...
25. understatement
Peter Rimoczi ,   Duesseldorf/Germany   (10.17.14)
AS usual, they und erstand the world outside the US AS they die so man times in man coflicts, with a lot of fortune! If they are the friends, what ab out enemies?
26. "No Clue Kerry"
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (10.17.14)
but, what did you expect from a man whose family was Jewish and now, Kerry crosses himself as a Catholic? He follows Hillary ( more ambition than brains ) Clinton. Am I the only one noticing that in the democrat party and it's adherents, ambition trumps both honor and brains? Time for a big change in DC baby! It's coming son after the mid term elections. BUILDING GETS obama's GOAT. SOOOOOO... BUILD BABY BUI;D !!!
27. The need for a scapegoat.
Matt C ,   Canada   (10.17.14)
John Kerry scapegoats Israel for the Islamic State because the current rules of political correctness forbid holding Muslims responsible for their own actions, that would be "Islamophobic." So someone else needs to be blamed, whether it is the person who released a YouTube video, the previous administration or the Israeli people, even when there is no rational connection, someone else has to be at fault. The irony is that in their desperation to avoid "Islamophobia" people like Kerry seem to have no problem verging into anti-Semitism and blood libels.
28. pie in the sky and eat it too!
Larry ,   LA (formerly)   (10.17.14)
Kerry seems to be totally out of touch with reality; perhaps his biggest asset to Obama who also can't tell the difference between Mickey Mouse and real life.
29. Is it just"peace" they want or total elimination of Israel
Alan ,   SA   (10.17.14)
I know Islam is a "peaceful religion"- (from what I read/told every day in the press/media), but will the peaceful ones be prepared to leave Jews alone and alive in a country in the Middle East after this "Peace Treaty" or...... will peace just put Islam on a better platform to continue to push Jews out of that geographic area. Will Israel suffer same fate as Kurds, Yazidis Christians and other minorities I suggest US Obama Admin wants not to destroy Israel TODAY but to put Israel in a certain position strategically where Islam can destroy Israel in one or two decades hence! And US can,at that time, stand back and regret (falsely) the passing of a brave little state!
30. Obama was so busy with Israel that it neglected IS and Ebola
Alan ,   SA   (10.17.14)
Look at the graphs of the rise of IS and Ebola from early 2014 until today.
