#1 However, not everyone in the US is 'angered' at Yaalon's comments; some of us rather enjoyed them. Kerry sponsored precisely three bills in his entire Senate career; his ineffectualism (to put it mildly) is / was predictable.

#2 "To question his motives and distort his proposals is not something we would expect from the defence minister of a close ally."

I agree. It isn't something a "close ally" would say. Perhaps the alliance needs mending and the deployment of a less buffoonish mediator.

By the way, does the Secretary of State have other duties, or is this just a method used to keep he [and his predecessor] out of town and engaged in meaningless, media diverting events ?

#3 But then an Ally deserves better than to have a slimy democrat hack slug like Kerry climbing up their leg.

#5 Given Kerry was actually rejected by the American public in 2004, one can ignore the claim the 'US' is angered.

#6 U.S. = White House

Then again, perhaps it's all the same to the Beeb.

#7 Since it's a matter of life & death for us, we don't actually give a f*ck whom it angers.

#8 I found the comments true and refreshing. Pompous twit would throw Israel into the sea if it secured him a Nobel and Legacy

#9 I agree with the Israeli, give Kerry his "Piece" bauble and send him packing before he does any more harm. Truth instead of lies is refreshing.

#11 The White House said the alleged comments were "inappropriate" given America's support to Israel's security.

WH responds with a cheap and transparent threat. Weak move, and our enemies in the region can smell the flop sweat.

#15 ...oh crap...Israeli Minister Apologizes For Insulting Kerry

*sullenly* "I'm sorry I said aloud what everybody knows, that the honourable American Secretary of State, John F. Kerry, is an empty headed blowhard who is trying to get Israel destroyed. There, I said it Bibi. Now can we join our wives for dinner already? Chana made my favourite."

#16 As per #13 - Yuuuuuppp, but IIRC the Bammer wanted PM Benji to be the one to formally apologize on Isreal's behalf???

#17 Why didn't Yaalon mention Kerry's time in service? He did just what his Chinese paymasters asked him to do.
