Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon criticized Economic Minister Naftali Bennett (Jewish Home) on Saturday night, after the latter issued a fiery response to the words of US Secretary of State John Kerry Friday linking peace talks with ISIS.
According to Ya'alon, Bennett's criticism lacks respect for the financial and diplomatic support the US has provided for Israel's right to self-defense against Hamas terrorism.
"Relations between the United States and Israel are based on shared interests and values, and a dispute or other comments should not cast a shadow over that," Ya'alon stated. "The United States supports Israel in a variety of fields - including, of course, security - and we need to remember that and to recognize and thank its leaders for that."
"The security systems of the two countries have an intimate relationship, one unprecedented in scope and importance to the security of Israel, and Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and I have a close relationship," he added.

If some of you FReepers had been with me and the Lieutenant when we swam naked up the Mekong River on Christmas Eve at the super-secret orders of soon-to-be President Nixon to capture NAZI spies, you wouldn't be so quick to criticize this great American.*
Because of this heroic mission during which he was grievously wounded by several mosquitos, he deserved to give himself the Silver Star, the Croix de Guerre, the Victoria Cross, and to sign his own Third Purple Heart certificate which enabled him to go home. He was generous to us subordinates, too. Thanks to him, I received the Merit Badge for Swimming, which enabled me to almost become an Eagle Scout.
So back off, Right Wing Fanatic!
* BTW, The inspiring Kerry story was chronicled by Hollywood in the feature film, "Surf NAZIs Must Die." I urge every true American to see it.
I spit carrot soup on the keyboard. Thanks a lot.
If you are going to read my posts while eating carrot soup, try to be making carrot cake at the same time. No one has to know.
Not a bad idea, actually. The carrot soup (with onion, peppers, celery, and garlic) could be wonked into some very nutritious bread or muffins.
(Too many ingredients. Too complicated. I, under the instruction of St Ronnie, limit my cooking to three ingredients and two utensils. A peanut butter sandwich, for example, requires three ingredients: bread, peanut butter (if already mixed up) and honey. A knife and a plate completes the recipe. )
If you got one large package of frozen “mixed soup vegetables” and a carton of chicken broth ... it would still be too much, because you need a pot, a spoon, and a blender.
Not to mention the Purple Heart that John effin received due to getting rice shrapnel in this butt
Lay offa John Kerry, I’m-a warnin’ you. After all, I think he showed great restraint in not awarding himself the Congressional Medal of Honor.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
..................
If St. Ronnie ever allows you a fourth ingredient, call me immediately. A Box'o'Raisins is yours!
OK, I understand the pot. And I can use a spoon - if I get it turned the right direction first. But what do you use the blender for? Isn't the chicken already brothed?
After you've boiled the vegetables in the broth, you run the whole mess through the blender. That way you don't have to chew it.
Sounds complicated. 8<)
I salute your service Kenny Bunk...One question:
Was it difficult to keep Kerry’s head above the water?
I warned you.
Wouldn’t it be faster iffen you just threw the chicken in the blender?’
Or put the garden parts in the blender, then open the door and let the chicken put itself in the blender? Then all you have to do is push the start button! Instant chicken soup.
I don’t actually have a chicken. Our HOA does not allow farm animals.
Lt. Kerry selflessly kept MY head above water. After the first 40 kilometers, I am afraid I developed a severe cramp. I was in good shape then, but one must realize that towing NAZI spies using the life guard carry is strenuous work. several of the other chaps also suffered cramps, but cleverly using our Rambo-type head scarves ( we weren't quite naked, you see) to tie the NAZIs wrist and ankle, Lt. Kerry was able to tow 20 or so of them by grasping the scarf in his teeth and using ye olde Yale backstroke.
Damn lucky thing he did save me and several others or I would not be able to offer the spectacularly misnomered Mr. Cook advice on appropriate behavior in the kitchen. Soon "Cookie," as we call him, will be able to use the same number of ingredients as the number of guitar chords mastered by Bruce Springsteen. And, it will all be due to Lt. Kerry.
What do you say we all chip in and get him another medal?
