Officials: Kerry Way Out of His League in Talks

After weeks of diplomatic activity, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is expected in the coming days to present what is expected to be at least a temporary agreement or framework for peace between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, but senior Israeli officials are already dismissing the plan as “unsophisticated” and “unusable.”

The officials, quoted in Yisrael Hayom, said that Kerry had been rushing hither and fro in and attempt to hammer out details of what is expected to be the framework of what he would like to see implemented in order to pave the way for a final-status agreement. The framework is expected to lay out the final goals and eventual shape of a final-status deal, with Israel committing to give up land in Judea and Samaria, and the PA expected by Kerry to recognize Israel as a Jewish state and to back off on some of its demands.

But based on Kerry's public statements and conversations with them, the officials quoted said they don't expect anything useful to emerge from the process. “Kerry is here in the region a lot, but he has almost no understanding of how things work in the Middle East.

Ortega embarrassed Kerry when he took the Soviet money in flagrant contradiction to his letter where he promised he wasn’t a commie stooge. I don’t think that was part of Kerry’s plan.

I have very little doubt Kerry didn't know all along. He's been in bed with commies since Vietnam, and probably before. His sister Peggy was a member of a (so-called) "anti-war" group that used to march waving the North Vietnamese and VietCong flags.

"After being transferred out of combat duty, Kerry was restationed in New York in early 1969. By late 1969 his older sister Peggy was already involved in the antiwar movement, working for the Vietnam Moratorium Committee (VMC). That October, she recruited John as a pilot to fly Adam Walinsky, a key leader of the New York office of the VMC, to VMC-organized antiwar demonstrations. Kerry, who was still on active duty in the US Naval Reserve, later boasted that he had been “smart enough not to put down ‘Moratorium’ on the Navy signout sheet for that Tuesday and Wednesday”."

“almost no understanding of how things work in the Middle East”

You mean after serving in Vietnam and having Botox shots, he’s not qualified? (sarc)

No comment needed.

That’s the John Kerry we all know and love.

Y'all laugh but wait 'til he breaks out his magic hat.

No, he just has an anti-American agenda, and part of that is to destroy more of our allies.

Thanks Nachum.
