That statement went FAR beyond just a “remark”.
Not to mention that Kerry has been making bombastic statements to hurt those he doesn’t like since the Vietnam War.
Words have power.
I wish a conservative would go even further and assert the apartheid comparison to most of the Middle East and Islamic nations when it comes to Jewish people and Christian minorities. The proposed Palestinian homeland would be more than apartheid and the arab controlled areas surrounding Israel are clearly worse than any apartheid comparison. Obviously this is apparent to everyone but I would just like to see people play a little offense for once.
