MK's blast Kerry as a 'dishonest broker'

Orit Struck (Jewish Home) has become the latest MK to pen an open letter to US Secretary of State John FN Kerry blasting him as a dishonest broker.
The Bayit Yehudi MK thanked Kerry in her letter, saying his words "finally and most strikingly revealed the extent to which you cannot serve as an honest broker."
"Whose side are you on, Mr. Secretary? On the side of terrorists who are waging an Intifada against women and children? Or on the side of the soldiers who are saving human lives?" she asked.
According to Struck, "the Intifada is already here." She recounted her bus ride from Jerusalem to her home in Hebron on Monday, during which the bus was ambushed by Palestinian terrorists throwing Molotov cocktails.
"This serious incident is not an isolated one, but rather one in a series of many similar events that have been occurring in recent weeks on a daily basis throughout Judea and Samaria, especially in wake of the release of terrorists carried out as part of the agreement you brokered," Struck wrote.
Struck also explained that it would be irresponsible to remove the IDF from the West Bank, because the Second Intifada was only curbed by Operation Defensive Shield, in which soldiers were returned to the area.
In addition, Struck pointed out that the area Kerry refers to as a future Palestinian state is "Israel's historic homeland," which includes Hebron, her residence and "the city of Abraham and King David and the Cave of the Patriarchs [that] was purchased by the father of our nation for his descendants after him. Beit El, Shiloh and Efrat are all noted in the Bible as Jewish towns, and when we returned to them after 2,000 years of exile, we were returning home."
She added that Jews lived in these places centuries before the advent of Christianity and over a millennium before the birth of Islam.
Finally, Struck wrote, "we are not frightened by your threats...Your threats will not have the outcome that you intend, but they have already proved very effective in revealing exactly how unsuited you are to serve as an honest broker."
 Kerry's threats to Israel if a 'peace agreement' is not reached have set off  many Israeli MK's. The threats were made in an interview on Channel 2 on Thursday night.
