WASHINGTON — It was an introspective US Secretary of State John Kerry who came to the closing session of the last Saban Forum of the Obama administration.
For four years as secretary of state, the Massachusetts politician had made the short trek to the Willard Intercontinental Hotel in early December, updating an audience that leaned Democratic – and pro-Israel – about the hottest issues on the burner, whether they were peace talks or Iran nuclear negotiations.
Introspective Kerry knew that this was his last time to explain before Washington’s think-tank elite why on his watch, the United States had once again failed to untangle the Gordian knot of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
He wore reading glasses, sat rather than stood, and cited facts, figures and maps from a thick binder. And he delivered a thesis — not explicitly, but repeatedly: The United States had failed in its mission because Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was unwilling to demonstrate the kind of leadership shown by his predecessors.

Poor, poor Kerry ... no undeserved Nobel Peace Prize for you.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Someone needs to tell Kerry he’s despised and his political days are over.
Liberal stupidity is impossible to rehabilitate.
Kerry, if you wanted peace you would moved the embassy, told Bibi it is ok to build settlements, that Israel could have assaulted through Gaza until they finished the job and then tell the Palis they are only going to keep losing until they make a deal.
The type of "leadership" that Kerry is advocating would be suicidal for Israel. Israel is quite right to reject more "land for peace" deals with the savages in their midst.
Another idiot obama court jester
What a bleeping moron! The Pali-terrorists are never going to “make peace” and only a moron thinks otherwise. Israel would have to concede on EVERY point of “negotiation” and that would simply pave the way for the final destruction of Israel.
In addition to being a certifiable loon, john is also a traitor. Great combo there.
It wont bother Bibi as there’s a new prez coming in January. Horseyface can suck it.
WORST SOS EVER!!!
So what, Bibi and his team of hackers (in my opinion) got the last laugh.
Could be I've been listening to Democrazy Now more than is good for my health. And no, that is not a typo.
😉😉😉😉
For peace,”Israel would have to concede on EVERY point of “negotiation”.......Like obama did with Iran.
In other words, Kerry is blaming others for his failure!
Palis will only make peace if they have nothing to gain, only to lose if they don’t. US policy only gives them hope...like giving in to temper tantrums
screw him and the horse he rode in on..... oh wait that is not a horse its Kerry.... sorry SOB.
It’s comedy
To a Democrat, getting things done means placing the blame. This administration takes responsibility for absolutely nothing. Obama will speak of his presidency as the epitome of flawless perfection. The media will back him up.
