Secretary of State John Kerry on Wednesday paid a shiva call to the parents of Max Steinberg, a Los Angeles native IDF soldier who was killed Sunday in Gaza, at the Crowne Palza hotel in Jerusalem.
“It’s just a huge statement about a young guy finding a place that he was so passionate about, and giving his all, putting himself on the line,” Kerry told the Steinbergs. “It’s an amazing story.”
“How’s your day?” Kerry asked them as he sat down, according to The Jewish Journal. “How’s your day?” Evie Steinberg asked back. “My day’s going better than yours,” he said.
“I am so honored to be here. I am in awe of your son, truly,” Kerry told the family. “And I think you know, I served in the military, and I have great respect for anybody who… especially puts themself willingly in harm’s way. And as an American, we’re so proud of the affection that he felt, just the love he felt, and the roots he found in this country.”
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro, accompanying Kerry, added, “There’s no greater manifestion of the bond between our countries than an American citizen putting himself in harm’s way to defend Israel.”
According to the Los Angeles Jewish Journal, “Kerry entered and exited the room swiftly, surrounded by men in black and refusing to take any questions from press.”
Shouldn’t skerry be “home” taking care of his alcoholic LIB wife?
WHAT!?
Other than that Mrs Kennedy, how was the parade?
His intelligence is surpassed only by that of Al Frankin and Shiela Jackson Lee.
The man’s a billionaire and acts like a tulip.
Can you imagine Biden as POTUS and Kerry as VP?
Which day ???
If you mean the day our son was killed it was the worse day of my life...
if you mean the day he was born I cried with happiness and awe and thankfulness to Yah that day..
Thanks-more evidence that Kerry and his type are totally out of touch-and tact...
Congressman BillyBob (FReeper since deceased) attended Yale with Kerry. He would assure you that the above is a gross over-statement of Kerry's intelligence and a pronounced under-statement of his self-regard.
He is a most unlikable buffoon.
You mean a pr*ck, don’t you?
As far as I'm concerned, they're both traitors and they both suck! Take that any way you like.
Not only does he make an idiotic comment like ‘how’s your day?’ but he follows it with ‘I think you know I was in the military.’ Can someone please call 911 to remove this guy’s head from his ass?
I guess comparison is more accurate than simile, but you nailed it.
Kerry couldn't even fake compassion. I guess he needs speech writers to express condolences.
Looks like he is saying “Can you believe Jews eat this crap?” And the thing is Kerry is a Jew himself, he’s a Faux Irishman whose real name is Kohn whose grandfather changed it to Kerry and Johnny boy here used it pass himself off as an Irishman to the Kennedy rapist clan in Assachussets when in fact he’s as Irish as Chuck Schumer. I’m a Jew myself and I cannot stand frauds like him, especially ones that bash Israel. The guy is a traitor on every level, to the military, to his country, his religion and to his ethnicity. Even his face is fake with the botox and his financial situation is fake. He’s nothing but a cheap ass male prostitute who should be nowhere near a position of power.

Another pinpoint operation.
I don't like democrats and I wish this was satire too...
You mean his wife is.
I try to be gentlemanly about these things - hence the asterisk. However, your descriptor is reasonably accurate.
Standing up wind from his hippy B.O. too no doubt !
