U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry thinks it is a “mistake” for Israel to demand that the Palestinian Authority (PA) recognize it as a Jewish state in order to achieve peace.
“I think it's a mistake for some people to be raising it again and again as the decider of their attitude towards the possibility of a state and peace, and we've obviously made that clear," Kerry told the House Committee on Foreign Affairs on Thursday, when asked to clarify the official position of the Obama administration on the issue, according to the Breitbart website.
He further said that the issue was resolved in 1947, when UN Resolution 181, which divided Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state, was passed. This resolution, said Kerry, referred to "Jewish state" several times.
Kerry also said that former PA Chairman Yasser Arafat explicitly recognized Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has insisted that the PA recognize Israel as a Jewish state in order to reach a peace agreement, explaining that the Arabs’ refusal to recognize Israel stands at the heart of the conflict.
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has repeatedly insisted that the PA would not recognize Israel as a Jewish state and has also stressed that the future Palestinian state would not include the presence of a single Israeli – civilian or soldier.
He stood his ground last Friday, saying during a meeting with Fatah youth activists that that there is "no way" he will recognize Israel as a Jewish state and accept a Palestinian capital in just a portion of eastern Jerusalem.

Another gem from Ketchup Boy.
the mistake who served in Vietnam...needs a long vacation!
John Effing Kerry (who served in Vietnam) is, and always was, a dumbass!
Even worse dumbasses are the people who married him, voted for him and promoted him!
He is 16 minutes into his 15 minutes of fame! I’ll sure be glad when he shuffles off the stage!
Only proves that the Obama Administration will turn it’s back on any ally! Israel has as much freewill as any Nation that will fight for it!
The Muslim Brotherhood is Obama’s only ally!
true lol
EVERYTHING obama does either:
a) Weakens America/AmericansI have yet to have anyone raise a single substantive counter example in several years of posting this.
b) Distances America's allies
c) Strengthens America's enemies
d) Serves Islam
e) Harms Israel
Or some combination of the above.
b, c, d, and e...
And who would recognize a mistake better than a man for whom it's a mistake every time he opens his piehole?
It’s not a very good brain, and Effin has it about 70% of the time. Biden really gets short shrift.
Basically saying to the LORD "You didn't build that!"
Isaiah 43:15
"I am the Lord, your Holy One, The Creator of Israel, your King.”
In some ways I agree. Who the hell are the Palestinians and why should anyone care if they recognize Israel as a State or not. They probably wouldn’t recognize the United States if we ‘asked’ them to... Let’s just TELL them Israel’s a State. It’s a settled matter. Period.
John Kerry is such a stupid, useless, little piece of sh!t.
I'm John Kerry, and I'm reporting for doody.
What more could he possibly do to embarrass USA ( and himself) even more ? Send a naked “selfie” of himself to the German chancellor? To Putin? To tony wiener? My Lord?! What an idiot this guy turned out to be! I didn’t like his politics before but never imagined anyone could be this stupid. Even Joe Biden occasionally says something more intelligent than this!
The PA rejects acceptance of the fact the Jews are a nation.
Without that, the conflict will remain open-ended.
Yup, John F. Kerry has Israel’s back, alright! Its a bad Purim joke.
