Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya´alon is apologizing for the second time in two months about critical statements he made against the U.S. government. In the wake of tremendous anger in Washington, a telephone call between U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and a personal talk with the prime minister, Ya´alon told his American counterpart, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, that there was no defiance, criticism or intention to hurt the United States or Israel´s relations with its ally with his words.

Yeah, sorry Mr. Kerry. I shouldn't have called you a pussy, pansy, and a traitorous lying piece of crap either. I am really sorry about your puffy Botox addled brain too. Hope you feel better. Really. Have some humus. Try a falafel too. Want a pickle?

I wish people would STICK TO SOMETHING THEY SAY WHEN IT’S TRUE! If you are going to apologize, don’t say it. Geez.

He should have told Perry to go cry in Obama’s arms, or to pound sand!

Kerry actually called and asked them to apologize. The entire admin is a CLOWN SHOW! You don’t want to be called weak? Stop wearing mom jeans and riding women’s bicycles!

The U.S. isn’t weak, just leaderless, which projects weakness. After the way this administration has treated Israel, it takes staggering arrogance to demand an apology for anything that Bibi says.

Kerry has destoyed what little respect he might have had left. Nobody in Israel trusts anything that comes out of his or anybody in this administration’s mouth.

He merely gave voice to what everyone over there is thinking. So they apologized? Big deal.

Bet they did it on purpose to derail something that was being planned. Watch, bet he or someone else in the administration gets more abuse within a week.

Some of the Jouranlists on tweeter covering Ukraine are so regretting they voted for Obama, twice no less,....said Obama flushed all leverage right down the toilet.

Also heard some on radio last night saying the same thing...only pretaining to Obamacare and his socialist push...

Further that Nation Allies are fully questioning now if they can ever depend on the Obama for the Agreements between them.

I suspect when this is all said and done...when actually it is done now....Obama will write a book and tell us all how he kept us out of war in Syria and Ukraine and Libya....bbut will never mention the doors of evil he’s opened now across the World...

I think you’re absolutely right, they are probably looking forward to the next election just as much as us.
