Standing next to US Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday morning, Justice Minister Tzipi Livni gushed that through his indefatigable efforts to bring Israeli and Palestinian officials to Washington, Kerry proved that "nothing can stop true believers."

As usual, the cognitively-challenged Livni told us something she hadn't intended to say. The term "true believer" was coined by Eric Hoffer in his classic work The True Believer from 1951, which Livni has obviously not read. Hoffer's epic study of the psychological roots of fanaticism, described a true believer as a person so fanatically committed to a cause that no amount of reality can make him abandon it.

And that just about sums up Kerry, and the man he works for, US President Barack Obama.

Kerry visited Israel six times in the four months leading up to the meetings in Washington this week, during which Americans, Palestinians and Israelis discussed the size of the table they will be sitting around in the coming discussions.

During the same four months, the Syrian regime used chemical weapons against its opponents on multiple occasions. Most recently, they gassed Palestinians in Yarmouk refugee camp outside of Damascus, killing 22 people.

During those four months, al Qaeda strengthened its control over the Syrian opposition groups fighting the regime.

During those four months, the Syrian civil war became a focal point of a wider Sunni-Shiite religious war that has already spread to Lebanon and Iraq. In its post-US withdrawal role of Iranian satrapy, Iraq has allowed Iran to use its territory and airspace to transfer war materiel to the Syrian regime.

In her brief remarks, not only did Livni inadvertently tell us that Kerry is a fanatic. She also told us that she is a fanatic.

And she is the Israeli voice in the negotiations?

while Kerry and Livni see rainbows and unicorns, Abbas sees a Jew-free Palestine

Is anybody listening?

In bowing to US pressure and approving the release of 104 terrorist murderers from prison, Netanyahu behaved like a coward. In bowing to US pressure not to bomb Iran's nuclear installations, Netanyahu is being a coward.

I hate it, but I must agree with the statement. What happened to the spirit of Entebbe, of Yoni Netanyahu, of never negotiating with terrorists?

Question: is this an oasis or a mirage?

True believer not only summed up Kerry and Obama, but their mental relative Adolf Hitler as well.

This is taking sKerry away from his yacht. C’mon, hurry it up. He has tax-dodging to do.

Thank you.

Surprised FR “took” the thread without a link. I “Googled” the article before I posted and couldn’t find a link.

Whether or not one decides to agree with her on a matter, Glick is always a must-read! Disclaimer: I nearly always agree.

OT: Search engines becoming increasingly worthless.

Thanks for posting the link.
