´John Kerry is an alien, an ongoing embarrassment´: what Israel thinks of US secretary of state
Telegraph ^ | 7/27/14 | Robert Tait

Posted on 07/27/2014 7:14:21 PM PDT by Nachum

John Kerry has almost certainly been called worse things than a space alien--particularly by Israel´s Right-wing camp, where contempt for the US secretary of state and his failed peacemaking efforts is unabashed. But when the insult is levelled by the previously supportive Haaretz newspaper, standard-bearer of the country´s liberal-Left, it may be time for him--and by extension, President Barack Obama--to take notice. The withering description was coined by Barack Ravid, the paper´s well-informed and normally restrained diplomatic editor, to describe Mr Kerry´s attempts at brokering a truce to the bloody conflict in Gaza--rejected by Israel amid widespread mockery.

Did someone say "Alien?"

"Klaatu barada nikto!"

This reminds me of a funny a friend sent yesterday about surrounding oneself with intelligent people in DC.

Obama was dining with Queen Elizabeth and asked how could one be sure the people around him are truly smart.

Liz replied there was a simple test. She called for Tony Blair and asked"Tony, if your mother and father had a child and it was not your sister or your brother, who would it be?" "Why, it would be me," Tony replied.

Obama decided to try it and called Biden in. "Joe, if your parents had a child and it wasn't your sister or brother who would it be?"

Joe thought and said he would research it and get back to the Prez. After finding no answers in the WH, Joe met Paul Ryan in the cafeteria, and asked Ryan the question. Ryan's answer "It would be me, of course."

So Joe went back to the Prez and said he had figured out the answer to the question and it was Paul Ryan.

Totally disgusted, OIbama said "No it's not. It's Tony Blair."

So I ask you how can anyone doubt the IQ of Kerry et al?

Liberal American Jewish people would vote for democrats even if Kerry was a space alien.

Although what you said was only half in jest, it is fact that the greatest threat to Israel is Liberal Jews in the United States, particularly those in the Main Stream Media.

It is most odd that Christians in the United States support Israel far more than those of the Jewish Faith.

I shall now put on my flame proof body suit for replies to my post.

"What no one can understand is how he can reject the consensus that's been built between the Egyptians, the PA [Palestinian Authority], Israel and Saudi Arabia and just go to Qatar," the official said. "America's allies were all backing Egypt's ceasefire plan. It was the only game in town. But he turns to a state that's no more than a gas bubble with a vote at the UN and that has always supported Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood and all those madmen fighting in Syria."

Kerry's a friggin' fool... that's why....
