Diamond and Silk
YouTube sensations have Israel's back
The American duo of sisters Diamond and Silk, dissatisfied with their administration's treatment of the Jewish state, take to the medium that made them famous to let Israel know where they stand.
Two American YouTube stars, Diamond and Silk, released a new video on Thursday to their channel, The Viewers View, in which they proclaim their support for Israel and condemn President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry.
The duo, sisters with the real names of Lynette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson, rose to international prominence when they began supporting US President-elect Donald Trump in his successful candidacy for the Republican nomination.
Their video, entitled "We Stand With Israel. Kerry and Obama don't know where they stand," criticizes Kerry for his recent speech on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which was soundly dismissed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Making a reference to the fortune of Kerry's wife, Teresa Heinz, one of the pair jokes, "Kerry must be slipping in all of that Heinz Ketchup—because he trippin'!"
Going on to criticize the outgoing US president, Silk and Diamond emphasize the importance of having Israel's back due to the two nations being allies and commit—for their part at least—to always have it.
