US Senator John Kerry, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, said on Sunday Israel's killing of Hamas leader Abdel-Aziz al-Rantissi was justified because Israel "has every right in the world to respond to any act of terror against it."
"Hamas is a terrorist, brutal organization," he told NBC's Meet the Press.
"It has had years to make up its mind to take part in a peaceful process. They refuse to ... and I support Israel's efforts to try to separate itself and to try to be secure."

Finally, one statement from Kerry that makes sense. Unfortunately it's probably just based on Kerry wanting to pander to the jewish vote after recently meeting with Hillary. After all, Kerry has no core.
To: Piranha
His Jewish donors were deserting him. That side of the finger was cooler than the other.

I am curious to see what happens when Kerry is questioned about this by liberal reporters/groups. Typical flip-flop Kerry?

But now he risks alienating his base (how do you say "base" in French?). Then again, the French probably understand political hypocracy in the name of accommodation better than most.

Which Kerry said this? If the postmoderns find out he said this, his campaign is toast.

His Jewish donors were deserting him. That's what this is all about. When he gets his cash he'll go back to calling guys like Sadr and Arafat "legitimate voices."

he won't be questioned about this by the presstitutes, in fact if he was smart he would run as a total conservative- the presstitutes will let him get away with it just so he can be elected.

Taht is exactly it!! He was starting to lose the Jewish vote, he had no choice...Yes, but now he'll start leaking antiwar pro-Pali votes to Nader. LOL, LOL...
To: Alouette
The intersting follow-up question that I guess was never asked is how is the Senator squaring his stance on Israel's right to use lethal force to defend itself with his multilateralism - How is he going to cooperate with the UN and EU on issues regarding the Middle East?

Of course now the media will focus on this and how it proves he's anti-terror while ignoring he said Maqtada Al Sadr's views on killing Americans are legitimate.

Time to start making bets on how long it will be before he reverses himself on this one. Especially since the UN and European Allies are outraged.
When is his next fundraiser at an Arab group?

The only reason Kerry made this statement is because the opinion polls told his handlers that it's the most popular view.
