What you say makes sense.
This is the same John Kerry who, according to his fellow officers in Vietnam, was willing to lie, cheat, and do whatever was necessary to ‘’win’’ purple hearts. So why would he now be averse to lying, blackmailing, and deceiving the Israelis to ‘’win’’ a Nobel Peace Prize?
But John Kerry’s fellow officers had the courage to stand up to him and tell the truth during his 2004 presidential campaign, so why doesn’t Benjamin Netanyahu have the courage now to also stand up to John Kerry and simply tell him to leave Israel and take his untrustworthy land-for-peace promises with him?
The fellow swift-boaters did not just begin with Kerry in 2004. Back in the ‘70s, their leader debated Kerry on the Dick Cavett show and wiped the floor with him. A President Kerry would have paid him back with interest for that humiliation, so it was a matter of personal self-preservation to keep him out of the White House.
Bibi cannot keep him out of the SOS seat or do anything to him, but Kerry can hurt Israel if he has a pretext to say that Israel refused to make piece and use that as justification for voting with the anti-Israel majority in the GA and the SC, or cutting Israel’s 1.5 billion to 1 billion, or imposing economic sanctions. For the good of his country, he may feel he has to at least pretend to play along with Kerry. Bad judgment, imho.
We need new allies. America’s need for oil makes the American government untrustworthy. My idea for a new ally is EMA (Eastern Minorities Alliance), a coalition of non-Sunni and non-Shiite countries including India, Armenia, Greece, South Sudan, Cyprus, and some countries that will be brought into existence, or at least whose putative existence would be supported by Israel, such as Greater Kurdistan (they’re mostly Suffis, I think), Alawitania (;-?), Balluchistan, Coptia, and Christian Lebanon. Why not? Two states for two peoples, after all;-E)
