Typically when regime officials lie about Israeli positions, the Israelis will then correct them in their media.

You don’t hear much about those corrections in the US media.

Lobbying against a policy is one thing. Meeting with the enemy to negotiate peace terms, on your own, is called something else.

The 1970 meeting that John Kerry conducted with North Vietnamese communists violated U.S. law, according to an author and researcher who has studied the issue.

Kerry met with representatives from “both delegations” of the Vietnamese (North Vietnamese and Viet Cong) in Paris in 1970, according to Kerry’s own testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on April 22, 1971. But Kerry’s meetings with the Vietnamese delegations were in direct violation of laws forbidding private citizens from negotiating with foreign powers, according to researcher and author Jerry Corsi, who began studying the anti-war movement in the early 1970s.

According to Corsi, Kerry violated U.S. code 18 U.S.C. 953. “A U.S. citizen cannot go abroad and negotiate with a foreign power,” Corsi told CNSNews.com.

By Kerry’s own admission, he met in 1970 with delegations from the North Vietnamese communist government and discussed how the Vietnam War should be stopped.

“I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force — if necessary — to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security.”
— Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002

“Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America’s response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real...”
— Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003

Obama is going to Ban Netanyahu from entering the US

[Da Coyote]

If. Kerrydork speaks and no one hears him (or it) does the air still smell of sh*t?

[SoFloFreeper]

Didn't John Kerry vote for the Iraq War?

(after he voted against it)

[dervish]

Just to rouse the leftists to whom any mention of Iraq War causes foaming at the mouth

[Defiant]

Did he lobby for the Dems to attack the war incessantly, energize the Iraqi opposition and pull out too early? Because if he did, then, yes, he was wrong.

[PIF]

As it were - BIbi came into office 6 years later, and at the the time, 2003, Kerry was in favor and voted for the Iraq war ... and ?

[Morpheus2009]

He doesn’t tell the truth, because he expects us to take him at his words. Sad facts are I wouldn’t be surprised if a good chunk of the population didn’t have a clue as to who Ariel Sharon is.

[Morpheus2009]

Yeah, and he is a POS who denies it and projects it on other people.

Hell, they don’t know who Biden is.
