No surprises here, except maybe the bit about no right of return.

Most interesting is the original article by Friedman and his analysis of Netanyahu's position.

Kerry has credibility?
I did not know that...
These guys are living in a dream world.

It will also demand that Palestinians recognize Israel as a Jewish state.

This is the clause that will never happen as long as the so called “Palestinians” are Muslim.

[Jim Scott]

Rational observers have long realized that the 'Palestinians' have no real interest in any 'two-state solution'. They have made it clear that their goal is to destroy the Israel and run the Jews that inhabit it out of the middle east. 'Negotiations' are nothing but stalling tactics to gain a little more time for each side and for the 'Palestinians' to coax Israel to give up more land and make an invasion easier.

John Kerry is not going to change that reality no matter what kind of ultimatum he issues to each side. Israel cannot keep making concessions in exchange for empty promises from the 'Palestinians'. Netanyahu cannot simply cave to Kerry's plan but he can use it, as Friedman stated, as a framework. A telling quote from Netanyahu: “Israel does not have to agree with everything America presents.” Indeed, they do not - and with Obama directing this show, they should not.

Maybe my memory is faulty but Kerry is just recycling the plan Clinton got then PM Barak to agree at Camp David in 2000. There was no final agreement because Arafat did not go along because of no right of return. What has changed since then to make what is essentially the same agreement to pass mustard with Abbas.

ridiculous to the extreme

Kerry has embarrassed America (and himself) enough to last a thousand years

best thing he can do now is come home and stay home and keep absolutely QUIET about that part of the world

for goodness’ sakes, just how much of this stupid krap do we all have to endure hearing from our public officials these days, anyway? and they have the entire world laughing at us!

The Obama/Kerry dance over Israel & the Palestinians will be moot when Iran’s A-bombs make a great big hole South of Lebanon & NW of Jordan. That’s what Obama’s Mideast mistakes are enabling.

The "Kerry Plan" is to thrown medals stolen from Israeli soldiers over the fence of the Great Mosque in Jerusalem as a sign to the Religion of Pieces that the Israelis now understand that they've been wrong since 1948.

Been there, done that. But why not try the same thing again, perhaps the result will be different.

So his plan is to give the arabs the benefit of their 1929 pogram that killed/expelled the Jews in East Jerusalem?

Great idea!
