Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu sharply criticized US Secretary of State John Kerry Sunday for threatening Israel with boycotts if peace talks fail.

“Attempts to impose a boycott on the State of Israel are immoral and unjust,” Netanyahu stated, at the opening of his weekly cabinet meeting. “Moreover, they will not achieve their goal. First, they cause the Palestinians to adhere to their intransigent positions and thus push peace further away. Second, no pressure will cause me to concede the vital interests of the State of Israel, especially the security of Israel’s citizens.
“For both of these reasons, threats to boycott the State of Israel will not achieve their goal,” Netanyahu concluded.
Last Wednesday, Thomas Friedman of the New York Times published some details of Kerry’s plan which, he said, will call for a phased Israeli withdrawal from Judea and Samaria based on the 1949 lines, with “unprecedented” security arrangements in the strategic Jordan Valley.
The Israeli withdrawal will not include certain settlement blocs, but Israel will compensate the Arab side for this with Israeli territory. The deal will call for “Palestine” to have a capital in Arab East Jerusalem and to recognize Israel as the nation state of the Jewish people. It will not include any right of return for Palestinian refugees into pre-1967 Israel, Friedman said.
Jewish leaders later revealed that mutual recognition is another factor of the plan – with Israel recognizing a Palestinian state and the Palestinian Authority (PA) being forced to recognize Israel as the Jewish homeland – a condition the PA has already publicly refused to accept.
Is it possible that a bunch of American Jews will finally figure out that the democratic party isn’t on their side?
Three times Israel had to defend themselves in a war. All three times they won, and gained some land. All three times they gave up some land in an agreement for peace. All three times the Palestinians used the newly acquired land to launch rockets further into Israel. The Palestinians are being taught by their leaders that Israel must be destroyed, and all Israelis killed.
Why are we not allowing Israel to destroy their enemy just across their border? How many rockets would we allow Mexico to launch into the USA before we went after them? Why are we giving the Palestinians hundreds of millions of dollars per year in foreign aid? Why are we giving China and other non-friendly countries foreign aid?
Interesting the misrepresentation claim that this framework is” what Washington considers” fair. Congress has not passed any resolutions creating Kerry’s framework, it is only what the White House wants. It is highly likely that this framework is more simply what Valerie Jarrett wants.
not surprising of KERRY,
HE DID SCREW HIS OWN BROTHER IN ARMS, LONG TIME AGO,
