Kerry: 'Core Issue of Instability ... Is the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict'
Weekly Standard ^ | 7/17/13 | Jeryl Bier

Posted on 07/17/2013 5:12:09 PM PDT by Nachum

Secretary of State John Kerry is currently in Jordan for talks with area leaders and a meeting of the Arab Peace Initiative Follow-Up Committee. After a meeting with Jordanian foreign minister Nasser Judeh, Kerry made some rather sweeping remarks about the role the Palestinian-Israeli conflict plays in not only regional but global stability [emphasis added]:

Peace is in the common interest of everybody in this region. And as many ministers said to me today in the meeting that we had – many of them – they said that the core issue of instability in this region and in many other parts of the world is the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The only way to resolve that is through direct negotiations, and the only ones who can make that happen are not President Obama, John Kerry, Nasser Judeh, but it is the parties themselves. They have to make that decision.

Kerry also had high praise for the Arab Peace Initiative and the part it could play in bringing peace between Israel and fifty-seven Arab and Muslim nations:

[T]he Arab Peace Initiative, which King Abdullah put forward a number of years ago, I have said before, was a very important departure point and one which never received the full attention and focus that it should have.

Well of course it is. That's why they are having a war in Syria and the Egyptians are at each other's throats.

Makes perfect sense, to Lurch and friends.

Honestly this must be a misquote. I never dreamed anybody could be so amazingly stupid. Regardless of politics one way or another, this is certifiably crazy. Can we get the source checked?

I read his comments to mean “If Israel is destroyed then we can have peace with Islam.”

Kerry is both perfidious and myopic.

“... the core issue of instability in this region and in many other parts of the world is the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.”

Does Kerry and all the other striped pants diplomats actually get paid to make earth-shattering observations like that?

When did they get their first clue, 1948?

John Kerry-Heinz could significantly reduce the amount of stupidity coming from him if he could just learn to shut up or is he interning with Jimmuh Cartah?

Why am I not surprised that John Kerry considers Nasser Judeh a mover and shaker.

Wait a minute, I just thought of something, the core issue of instability in this region and in many other parts of the world is the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. So if we get rid of Israel ...

It also explains the bloody murderous wars between Iran and Iraq, and the civil war in Yemen back in the 1960s, and why you people make beheading videos and strap bombs to yourselves. Yup. It’s all the Jooos!’s fault. As usual.

He considers himself a mover and shaker. Once he is that deluded, anything seems probable.
