Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) demanded on the Senate floor Monday that Secretary of State John Kerry resign from his post following highly controversial remarks about the state of Israel.
Kerry came under fire from lawmakers and a variety of pro-Israel organizations after he told world leaders in a closed door meeting that Israel risks becoming an apartheid state if it fails to reach peace with the Palestinians.
Israel cut off peace talks late last week after Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas formed a unity government with the terror group Hamas, which announced that it would not renounce violence or recognize Israels right to exist.
Cruz said in a speech on the Senate floor that Kerry should immediately offer his resignation to President Barack Obama.
John Kerry should offer President Obama his resignation and the president should accept it, Cruz said.
Cruz said that Kerrys comments brought him great sadness.
There is no place for this word in the context of the state of Israel, Cruz said. The term apartheid, means apart, different, isolated. The state of the victims of apartheid with which the Jews are tragically all too familiar.
Cruz said that Israel has nothing in common with apartheid South Africa.
The notion that Israel would go down that path and so face the same condemnation that faced South Africa is unconscionable, he said. The United States should be aggressively asserting that Israel can never be made an apartheid nation while America exists and stands beside her. Because America will be with Israel regardless of the status of the diplomatic process.
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the nations leading pro-Israel lobbying outfit, also condemned Kerry, referring to his comments as inappropriate and disturbing.
Cruzs entire floor speech is available below:
John Kerry hates Jews, he represents Obama and his cronies who all hate Jews so not really surprised
Hear-hear!
HOORAY Ted Cruz!
* RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.
The fact that John Fn Kerry is in the body politic, is an indication of how far the republic has sunk.
TREASONOUS/ARROGANT ELITIST POS BUMP!
Ted, like Sarah, is the real deal.
American Jews share the blame. The majority of them voted for Obama and consistently vote for Democrats as zombies in spite of the fact that FDR closed the doors of United States to the Jews who tried to flee from Nazi occupied Europe during the Holocaust. Remember the SS Saint Louis
That is the way the Devil pay those who serve him well.
Because, unfortunate as it is, he has an important job where words have serious consequences. I would agree with you where it's a dumb house representative or senator whose voice is merely one of many.
Some of the most outspoken people against the state of Israel are in fact Jews, or at least call themselves that. I don’t understand it, and I don’t want to.
How smart is John Fn Kerry?
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
