Secretary Kerry: 'settlements' obstacle to peace
Arutz Sheva ^ | 4/12/16

Outgoing US Secretary State John Kerry expressed disappointment Sunday that his efforts over the past four years have not put an end to the construction of homes in Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.

Speaking at the Saban Forum, Kerry said that Israel is "heading to a place of danger" and that the chances for peace are eroding "by virtue of this continued settlement process."

"I don't agree with him that settlements are not an obstacle to peace," Kerry said. "Let's not kid ourselves here– you can't just wipe it away by saying it doesn't have an impact. It has an impact."

"I'm not here to say that settlements are the reason for the conflict. No, they're not," he added. "But I also cannot accept the notion that they're not a barrier to peace."

Kerry expressed concern for Israel's future if a two-state solution is not achieved. "There is no status quo. It is getting worse. It is moving in the wrong direction. It defies the imagination that you're going to have a Jewish state with a unitary state."

Kerry has been in the pocket of the Earl of Hell’s weskit for so long he’s no longer in touch with truth at any point.

Prior to 1948, the leaders of what would become Israel offered peace to the Arabs and a unified state. The Arabs refused, and the armies of 5 Arab nations invaded Israel on literally it’s first day of existence, and tried to destroy it and massacre it’s Jewish residents only 3 years after the end of the Holocaust. No settlements existed then.

In 1960, the PLO was formed, with the explicit goal of wiping out Israel - it is in their charter, it is on their flag, it is taught in their schools. No settlements existed then.

In 1967, Egypt, Syria and Jordan prepared to invade Israel and “drive it into the sea” (presumably with those of its citizens that hadn’t yet been killed or evacuated). No settlements existed then.

This is PROOF - METAPHYSICAL PROOF - that the obstacle to peace in that part of the world is NOT settlements of Jews in the ancient homeland of their fathers, but instead those Arabs who utterly refuse to recognize the right of Jews to live in a self-governed state in that part if the world, on the land seized from their ancestors by the Romans, prior to those same Romans forcibly removing virtually all Jews from that land. One would have to be willfully blind to not know that...

...which brings me to my last point:. FUCK YOU JOHN KERRY, YOU ANTI-SEMITIC PRICK!

So is Israel’s mere existence. If they would only commit suicide then the world would be at peace.

Idiot Kerry! Peace starts in a person’s heart. Without that there will never be peace. And God already told us that will be the case since one side has no Peace in their hearts and is against God.

That was in ‘64, but same difference.

DJT hasn’t released any terrorists. I believe you are thinking of his soon-to-be predecessor.

Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. This picture proves that Kerry is not anti-Semitic. He was dressing up for Purim, a Joooo! holiday with costumes and gifts, only he got the date wrong. That’s the ticket. Who forgot to tell him that those people have their own calendar?

Kerry said that Israel is “heading to a place of danger”. I see. Well, we’ve never been in danger before, so I guess we’d better back up and reverse direc—wait. We’re a land mass, not a car, and if we could actually move, we could go parallel park next to Hawaii, and be shut of those nasty guys with their bombs and knives once and for all. Somebody please tell Lurch that Israel is not a car.
