Netanyahu slams Kerry's speech defending UN vote as 'unbalanced'
Fox News ^ | December 28, 2016

Posted on 12/28/2016 11:41:11 AM PST by Jim Robinson

Israel fired back at Secretary of State John Kerry on Wednesday, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blasting Kerry’s lengthy televised rebuke of the Middle Eastern democracy and the United States’ abstention from an anti-Israel United Nations vote last week.

Netanyahu, speaking in Jerusalem just over an hour after Kerry’s speech had ended, said the speech was “as unbalanced as the anti-Israel resolution passed last week.”

“Secretary Kerry paid lip service to the unrelenting campaign of terror that has been waged by the Palestinians against the Jewish State,” Netanyahu said.

He later added: “Israelis do not need to be lectured about the importance of peace by foreign leaders.”

Netanyahu’s office immediately slammed Kerry’s speech.

"Like the Security Council resolution that Secretary Kerry advanced in the UN, his speech tonight was skewed against Israel,” a statement said. “For over an hour, Kerry obsessively dealt with settlements and barely touched upon the root of the conflict – Palestinian opposition to a Jewish state in any boundaries.”

Netanyahu’s speech came shortly after the Israeli Attorney General’s office approved a police probe of the prime minister in two separate cases, The Times of Israel reported, citing Channel 10. A Netanyahu spokesman told Haaeretz the case was “nonsense.”

Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon also panned Kerry's speech.

“To coordinate anti-Israeli initiatives with the Palestinians at the U.N. and to advance a one-sided resolution against Israel in the Security Council is the opposite of supporting Israel,” Danon said. “The Obama Administration acted against Israel at the U.N. and any claim to the contrary is a distortion of reality.”

Now that is a sentence with a heck of a lot of meat in it.

Kerry’s speech isn’t the only thing “Unbalanced”. Old John F***ing Kerry has been unbalanced to the Marxist Left since Vietnam where he betrayed his own men.

I had some of this in the book “Unfit For Command” (written by my friend Jerry Corsi - the anti-Vietnam activities of Kerry). John O’Neill and some other Swift Boat veterans worked on/wrote the other main section about Kerry and Vietnam.

Kerry is the biggest egotistical asshole I’ve ever seen except for Barack Insane Obama and Hildabeast Clinton.

You forgot to mention the fact that both he and his boss are morally handicapped.

This is so amazing!


It really is. And it makes me wonder exactly what Trump will come up with to counter the ridiculous UN resolution once he’s in the oval office. The man is really outside the box. How refreshing.

Actually he’s reacting a lot like Trump. I wouldn’t expect Trump to react passively either. Both have loads of testosterone. I’m sure Netanyahu is just anticipating getting to work with a man that is pro-Israel.

This concerns me ... are you talking about war with US boots on the ground?

The Russians have influence in the area We dont

True. But that influence is anti-Israel. Is Israel afraid of Russia?

DISAGREE... Bibi had to show for the first time how Israel has been disrespected by Obozo...He also had to put blame on Obozo so he could transition to Trump. this “personal” perspective is important to show that Trump is different than Obozo.

I'm not sure this is necessary --- but, if you say so I won't argue with it.

Wow, what else are the roadblocks Obama’s put out with regard to the transition? (I’m sure there’s much we don’t even see.)

No I didn’t say that at all. You implied Netanyahu should tone down what he says. I said he wasn’t that type of person, just like Trump.

Nothing more
