Susan Rice: Attacks on Kerry in Israel are unfounded, unacceptable
2014-02-04
[Jerusalem Post] US National Security Advisor Susan Rice came to the defense on Tuesday of US Secretary of State John Kerry after he was roundly criticized by a number of Israeli government officials over comments that he made on the weekend about the Israeli Palestinian peace talks.

Kerry said at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday, that a consequence for Israel if it does not reach a peace deal is an economic boycott against it.

Following Kerry's remarks Bayit Yehudi leader Naftali Bennett said: "We expect our friends in the world to stand by our side against anti-Semitic boycott efforts against Israel, and not be their trumpet."

Rice, who was the US envoy to the UN before her current post tweeted "Personal attacks in Israel directed at Sec[retary] Kerry [are] totally unfounded and unacceptable. The US government has been clear and consistent that we reject efforts to boycott or delegitimize Israel."

#9  "Economic boycott against it" > IMO would have the same effect as iff Israel fought a new "1973/Yom Kippur II" against its 21st century enemies, + the US or US-Allies chose not to resupply Israel's combat losses.

IOW, WHAT COULD ALSO HAPPEN TO US ALLIES IN EAST ASIA VEE ANY MIL CONFLICT AGZ RISING CHINA.

Anyhoo, both the Bammer + SecState Jaawhn should epxlain to the Amer people just what kind of alleged "peace deal" or "effective" peace deal is being made whereby both Egypt + Jordan hold traditional sovereignty over Paleo/PA-specific state land - AFAIK NEITHER EGYPT NOR JORDAN IS WILLING TO BE ECON RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PALEOS ONCE THE FINAL DEAL IS SIGNED???

THERE ARE MANY IMPORTANT LINGERING QUESTIONS, + THE ADMIN IS NOT ANSWERING ANY OF 'EM.

#8  Wait -- someone trusts Kerry to be an errand boy? I assumed he was the distraction from whoever was really in charge.

#7  At least they didn't call Jawn a botoxed, meddling wanker which is only fair since he is merely an errand boy.

#6  Post-Americans g(r)om. Post-Americans and what I call The Autumn Leaves (the stay at homes).

"Uncalled for attacks against Secretariat Kerry were caused by a youtube video."

#5  Picking Munich as a location wasn't a brilliant choice either Ms. Rice.

Once is a tragedy, twice is a farce.

#1  ...TRANSLATION: "Your betters know what's good for you, and the Secretary wants a Peace Prize just like the Boss has. Shut up and die quietly."
