Kerry speaks on Israel: “If the choice is one state, Israel can either be Jewish or democratic. It cannot be both.” https://t.co/M7xk7tf45h

“SECRETARY OF STATE JOHN KERRY: There are a similar number of Jews and Palestinians living between the Jordan River and Mediterranean Sea. They have a choice. They can choose to live together in one state or they can separate into two states. But here is a fundamental reality, if the choice is one state, Israel can either be Jewish or democratic, it cannot be both.”
Kerry also claimed that President Barack Obama has done more than any other American President for the security of the state of Israel, just days after the United States abstained from a vote on a United Nations Security Council resolution that deems Israeli settlement activity within territory claimed by the Palestinians illegal.
Netanyahu slams Kerry’s speech as “skewed” and “obsessive”
From the Times of Israel:
“Like the resolution that John Kerry advanced at the UN [Security Council], John Kerry gave a skewed speech against Israel. For over an hour, Kerry dealt obsessively with the settlements and almost didn’t touch on the root of the conflict — the Palestinian opposition to a Jewish state in any boundaries,” a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office says.
Social Media Response
We cannot continue to let Israel be treated with such total disdain and disrespect. They used to have a great friend in the U.S., but…….

Why does @JohnKerry need as much as 70 minutes to prove that he’s an idiot? 5 min. would be quite enough. This is why he fails everywhere.
