Obama’s Secretary of State John Kerry is now blaming Israel for the violent uprising that we are seeing by the Palestinians against Israelis, saying they are just frustrated by the massive increase in settlement activity by Israel over the last few years:
ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS – US Secretary of State John Kerry is planning a trip to the Middle East to meet both Israeli and Palestinian Authority leaders, in what he is touting as an effort to end the current wave of deadly Arab terrorism sweeping the country.
But if an interview on Tuesday is anything to go by, Kerry’s visit will mostly focus on pressuring Israel to make concessions. Speaking to Harvard Professor Graham Allison in Cambridge, Massachusetts, America’s top diplomat summed up the past several weeks of escalating violence in the following terms:
“So here’s the deal. What’s happening is that unless we get going, a two-state solution could conceivably be stolen from everybody. And there’s been a massive increase in settlements over the course of the last years.
“Now you have this violence because there’s a frustration that is growing, and a frustration among Israelis who don’t see any movement. So I look at that and I say if that did explode – and I pray and hope it won’t and I think there are options to prevent that – but we would inevitably be – at some point we’re going to have to be engaged in working through those kinds of difficulties. So better to try to find the ways to deal with it before that happens than later.”
Kerry added that the Obama administration would be using its last year or so in government to push for a solution to the conflict – in what could foreshadow yet another push for massive Israeli concessions.
“We have another 16 months in this Administration, and I can assure you we’re going to stay engaged and continue to try to work through these issues, because there are options and there’s a better other side of the current conflict that we’re witnessing,” he said.
No mention was made of the role played by violently anti-Semitic propaganda and other efforts to encourage violence by Palestinian groups spanning Hamas to the Palestinian Authority.
How disgusting can this administration get. They hate Israel so much that they would blame them for the fact that Palestinians are murdering Israelis by stabbing them or just plowing into them with their cars. How despicable.
Let Bibi remind John Kerry what the real issue is here, and it’s not settlement activity:
