Last Thursday, I reported that the Israeli government has decided to
legalize four 'outposts' on which Jews have lived for years, rather than expelling more Jews from their homes. That action resulted in a highly unusual protest from US Secretary of State
John FN Kerry to Israel's ambassador to Washington, Michael Oren.
A senior Israeli official told Haaretz that after Kerry learned of
the Israeli decision last Thursday, he personally called Oren and
requested clarifications, stressing that the move undermines his efforts
to restart negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. Kerry
requested that the government rethink its decision, or at least postpone
the outposts’ legalization.
A
phone call from the secretary of state to a foreign ambassador to
demand explanations and voice a protest is considered a very unusual
move, one that indicates Kerry’s anger at the Israeli decision. Such
protests are usually conveyed through lower-level channels.
...
Responding a question from Haaretz, a State Department spokeswoman
said the administration had raised the issue at a high level with the
Israeli government’s representatives in Washington. Aharon Sagi, the
Israeli embassy spokesman, declined comment.
The
four outposts are Givat Assaf, located near Beit El; Mitzpeh Lachish in
the South Hebron Hills; Ma’aleh Rehavam in Gush Etzion; and Givat
Haroeh, located near the settlement of Eli. The decision to legalize
them, and Kerry’s protest, both came on the eve of the secretary of
state’s fourth visit to the region.
Kerry is due to meet Netanyahu in Jerusalem on Thursday and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah on Friday. He is then expected to return for further talks with both leaders the following week.
'The eve of the secretary of
state’s fourth visit to the region'? Actually, the decision was announced a week before Kerry planned to visit, giving him more than enough time to cancel if he chose to do so. Recall that in 2011, President Hussein Obama gave a speech calling for Israel to withdraw to the indefensible '
1967 border' as Netanyahu was
boarding a plane to Washington. Kerry has no cause for complaint.
John Kerry, Bill Clinton, Hillary2016, BHObama, etc etc etc... tantrums in favor of setting up a Judenrein country to kill Jews, greased by Gaia Green $lu$h. How long will the Israeli "Progressives" support the U.S. Democrats with fawning campaign photo ops, medals, and verbiage? "Support" of lifegiving philosophies, not FSU marxism, needs to be a two-way street.
ReplyDeleteAlong with reading David Horowitz's Radical Son, as he knew the New Left marcuse marxists that I saw in California back in the day, a person to listen to and read to figure out how to move away from Progressive starving socialism is Mark Levin. He is an attorney and worked in Reagan's DOJ, so he knows how the govt did and does operate. Also, he has his Landmark Legal Foundation, which is playing a leading role in some of the actual speedbump lawsuits in the marxist takeover of America. I'm trying to figure out whether I could get his attention to look into the rotted voter rolls in my state and the fast & furious guns that were spewed on both sides of the border to criminal gangbangers.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, read his books (hard copy, kindle, audible) and his radio show is free on itunes, etc. marklevinshow.com
