Netanyahu’s New Media Chief Calls Obama Antisemitic, Claims Kerry Has Mental Ability (short)
MintPressNews.Com ^ | November 6, 2015 | By Reuters

The United States takes offense at comments by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s new communications director accusing President Barack Obama of anti-Semitism and suggesting that Secretary of State John Kerry had the mental abilities of a 12-year-old, the State Department said on Thursday.

It said Kerry had spoken to the Israeli leader on Thursday and understood that Netanyahu “will be reviewing” the appointment of Ran Baratz after a U.S.-Israeli summit meeting at the White House next week.

Netanyahu and Obama are due to meet to try to mend fences after fierce feuding over the Iran nuclear deal that Israel opposes. As head of public diplomacy and media, Baratz, a 42-year-old philosophy lecturer, will be tasked with improving Israel’s reputation in the world. His comments were published previous to his appointment.

“His comments about U.S. officials, including the president and Secretary Kerry, we believe were troubling and offensive. We obviously expect government officials from any country, especially our closest allies, to speak respectfully and truthfully about senior U.S. government officials,” State Department spokesman John Kirby said.

They’re not familiar with the concept. Just like their father isn’t either (John 8:44).

This half-brain only knows about meeting half way... Some nuanced position suitable for a moron, the only question being is his half-brain located inside the left or right purple-heart-winning cheek.

Kerry probably does not have the mental ability of a twelve year old.

Ran Baratz is giving Lurch the benefit of the doubt saying it’s as high as a 12 year-old.

"12 year-old" did not translate from Hebrew,
in fact from the original it should be read as "Chimp"...

Although Chimps have better manners.

I wonder about these guys and their education

Obama seems as dumb as a box of rocks sometimes. He exhibits no critical thinking skills

While people screech about Trump having inherited his wealth, do they realize you can’t say 200 million divided among four heirs from a father who lived to 93 years old is not 9 billion.

Do they see Trump tower and think Trumps eighty year old father built it and put his son in it?

Do they not know that Wharton is not a school one can just cruise through?

It’s so vapid Even republicans can’t see the difference between a guy with a law degree like Kerry and a lawyer who has argued nine cases at the Supreme Court like Cruz did. A guy who utilizes a the skills he learned in school.

Yet look at Obama he has never done anything productive in his life. He does nothing. If he didn’t play golf he’d be bored beyond tolerability

They say Ben Carson is fit to be president because he is a doctor. Whoa

It should disqualify him. Doctors do medicine. They cannot administrate. They trust assistants to manage, and fight against them every step of the way. The arrogance of doctors is notorious. Yet No one ties doctors to the abject mess our medical system is in

Kerry exhibits immature thinking his whole adult life. He protested the Vietnam war from a position of priveledge and parental political connections and not as any experienced warrior, so his ideas were untested and turned out to be unfounded unpatriotic deceitful as the swift boat veterans pointed out in their statement that he is unfit for the presidency

He is certainly unfit to be Secretary of State

Our voting public should be ashamed of putting these idiots into political power. The real spoiled son in the current race is bush. He needs to go home.

Here’s Kerry’s education While his extended maternal family enjoyed a great wealth as members of the Forbes and Dudley–Winthrop families,[6] Kerry’s parents themselves were upper-middle class, and a wealthy great aunt paid for him to attend elite boarding schools.[2]

He married into a fortune as well, placing himself in position to purchase thes psi toons for which he is unfit. Did he pass the bar exam? Did Obama?

He testified in front of congress that he was a War Criminal

Despite there being tape of the hearing the MSM NEVER showed it during the presidential campaign in 2004 and the wimped out GOP never used it

I thought he blew up a bag of rice, and a single grain managed to make it through his trousers, skivvies, and barely pierce the skin of his buttocks?

I bet he's suffered far worse shaving mishaps.

I’m outraged at Ran Baratz...insulting the intelligence of 12 year olds like that.

I know a 12 year old who’s able to understand what a terrible sellout Kerry’s deal was. I think this guy owes apologies to more than just the US dictators.

Do they know that JF’nK served in VN and got shot in the butt?

I seem to recall he tried to destroy a bin full of rice with a hand grenade. The grenade went off as planed but (just kidding) our stalwart hero was hit in the gluteus maximus by a small bit of shrapnel. He sought medical attention after he returned from his secret mission and his life was spared by the timely application of a spot band-aid. Whereupon he immediately penned a communication to his CO requesting his consideration for his second, or was it third purple-hurt decoration...

Regards,
GtG

PS Life would have been much better for all of us if he had thrown the pin and held on to the grenade...
