US Secretary of State John FN Kerry went to see the parents of US citizen and fallen lone soldier Max Steinberg HY"D (May God Avenge his blood). Kerry put his foot so deeply into his mouth as to make it crystal clear why our rabbis decreed that one who goes to console a mourner should not speak until spoken to.According to the Los Angeles Jewish Journal, Kerry entered and exited the room swiftly, surrounded by men in black and refusing to take any questions from press.In the meantime, the Steinberg's are overwhelmed with the support that they have received here in Israel.Hows your day? Kerry asked as he sat down. Hows your day? Evie [Steinberg's mother] asked back. My days going better than yours, he said.
Speaking to Arutz Sheva at Jerusalem's Crowne Plaza Hotel, where the family are observing the seven-day shiva mourning period, Max's mother expressed gratitude for "all the love" the family had received from complete strangers.
Some 30,000 people showed up at Steinberg's funeral on Wednesday night."I cannot believe that all of these people are here for our son, and all the people that are here are giving us strength to get through this horrible time for our family," she said.
She recalled how her son had been inspired to join the IDF after visiting the grave of another fallen lone soldier from America: Michael Levin, who died fighting with the IDF's Paratrooper Brigade during the 2006 Second Lebanon War.
Max's father told how the Israeli people had "done everything they can to help us live through this very trying time."
Addressing the family's decision to bury Max in Israel - and not in LA as originally planned - he said they felt their decision had been validated after visiting Israel.
"...Once we got here and once we've been embraced by so many wonderful people.. and the beauty of the country and what it all stands for, there is no other decision."
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Blumenthal,AKA,The Liar,will confirm
“How’s your day going? And would you like to buy some ketchup? By the way, please vote for me in the next election. Sorry, gotta go, busy day for me today.”
skerry must be out drinking with biden again, with biden giving skerry points on how to insert foot into mouth.
He’s a totally and completely classless, useless fop.
Kerry reminds me of reporters who ask a mother that has just seen her 4 year old ran over by a semi, “How do you feel about what just happened?”
Instead of tears I keep hoping that one mother will take the head off of one of these reporters with their tear jerking questions.
Stand up, Chuck!
Seriously.
What a feckless SOB.
“As a couple freepers said yesterday,
Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?”
I like their example much better than mine.
He once asked in Philadelphia if he could get a Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich with *Camembert*, or something.
A freaking politician did that..!
(full disclosure: I am not from Philly nor have I ever been there)
One of Kerry’s claimed Purple Hearts was for stupidly blowing up a VC rice supply which were in some type of large containers.
He and a friend put grenades in them but didn’t get out of range in time. Got rice in the ass, and one PH.
This time, Kerry put his foot in his ass and suffered brain damage. Maybe he’ll put in for another “faux” PH.
If it weren’t for “NO CLASS”, Kerry wouldn’t have any class at all. He is living proof that only in America can a Boston Brahmin traitor, fool, and super narcissist rise to high positions in the government.
Oh Johnny boy. What about that SVN father and son you gunned down in their boat and whose bodies you hide, while not filling out an accurate After-Action Report about your war crime?
I remember seeing a local news reporter on tv asking a little girl how she felt as she’s standing at the arrival gate where a crashed plane carrying her parents would never arrive. I wanted to reach through the tv screen and strangle him.
Well considering the faux Irishman John Kohn is a traitor, he was probably saying it as a dig.
I'd like to see a video of it.
Kerry funds Muslim pro-terror groups via the Tides Foundation. He is in sync with Obama. They both believe that Israel is Lost. They are trying to figure out how to convince the Yahudim to abandon it with as little suffering as possible. How Compassionate! How prudent! How devious. Are you one of those who wonder why DHS has built so many internment camps around the country? They are intended to house the Evacuation of Israel. But I’ve got news! HaKodesh Baruch Hu has plans of his own. He will establish His throne in Jerusalem. Thereafter, not one Muslim will ever set foot in it again. Why? There won’t be any.
