John Kerry: Isreal Risks Becoming An Apartheid State

If you read the quote in its entirety I don' t really think he is shitting on Israel so much as outlining the risks should a two state solution not eventuate.

I agree but the media and some in Congress are clobbering him. He could have worded it differently but he is now facing a potential firestorm.

They need to learn already. Media or political opponents won't hesitate to spin around words or meaning. And supporters of said group will jump on every opportunity to further their agenda. People in general don't read anything else than the lead text which means john kerry is an israel hater in this particular case. Politicians can't say shit nowadays without a pre-written script by some advisor with a MSC in political science or PR. It's a sad state really, people are so fucking dumb.
 
Fuck Israel. They need to be publicly mocked as much as possible. Potential loss of international face seems like it might be the only thing to make them take the peace process more seriously.
 
not a big deal because it was a dem who said it and he said it about israel, so no problem. move along. Donald sterling is racist!

This.

Not sure I have much opinion on this. He stuck his foot in his mouth.

But if he was GOP, he'd be skewered by the media and the left, including Kerry most likely.
 
It is apartheid. His wording was perfect. Too bad he's a cowardly career politician who won't stand by his word.

Why? Its Ted fucking Cruz. Why take him seriously. John Kerry was wrong only in one sense - Israel IS already an apartheid state.

Of course Israel is NOT the only state where religious apartheid occurs.
 
Conservatives are outraged by this....yet most jews would never vote for them. I never understood how they are so loyal to Israel and Jews never voting for them
 
I'm seriously shocked to hear an American tell the obvious truth about Israel. It's spot on, and Israel doesn't "risk becoming an apartheid state"; they already are one, and have gotten much more virulently so in the last 20 years. The US tell Israel to take a long walk off a short pier. We should tell them to take the $3 billion + the US taxpayer gives them in state welfare a year and defend themselves.

Because it has nothing to do with the Jewish people, and everything to do with "christian conservatives" (who are neither, of course) believing in the literal interpretation of the 2,000 year old book of fables called the "bible". Jebus won't return until certain things happen, yada yada yada. Letting US foreign policy be dictated by a bunch of loony toon religious beliefs is most assuredly NOT what the Founding Fathers had in mind. It's disgusting to hear every American politician kowtow to Israel, then when someone like Kerry tells the truth, he has to "backtrack".
 
People who think that Israel is already an "Apartheid State" are fucking idiots.

How so? There is decided difference in being a Jewish Israeli vs a non Jewish one. That is religious apartheid.

Racial apartheid also exists in Israel (just look at how the Ethiopian Jews are treated).

Arabs (and other minorities in Israel) have a equal rights to Israeli Jews. They have voting rights, political parties and the ability to serve in the government. They can take their grievances to the Supreme Court, in which there have been Arab Justices/Cabinet members etc. They receive welfare/healthcare. They can study/teach in the universities as Israeli Jews. There are affirmative action laws and they can run their own businesses. They have equal rights to lease government land, and so on. The difference is they are forced to serve in the military. Israel isn't perfect; however, to compare the actions of the state of Israel to Apartheid South Africa is just insane.

Has John Kerry always been this much of a pussy? His statement wasn't anti semitic nor did it come off as "not supporting israel." His statement reflects a likely outcome of the ongoing strife between Israel and the Palestinans ..
Too much of a chicken shit to stand by his words.
 
Lol John Forbes Kerry better chill the fuck out unless he wishes to end up like the original JFK.
