US fuming over Israeli criticism of Kerry

[geek tragedy]

"Israel has no better friend, no stronger defender than John Kerry," said Tony Blinken, President Barack Obama's deputy national security. He said the criticism of Kerry was based on "people leaking things that are either misinformed, or attempting to misinform."

Other officials used even harsher language, saying the attacks on Kerry crossed a line and put the relationship between the U.S. and Israel in jeopardy. Those officials insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter on the record by name.

...
In trying to implement the cease-fire over the weekend, "U.S. Secretary of State of State John Kerry ruined everything," wrote columnist Ari Shavit in Monday's Haaretz, Israel's leading liberal newspaper. "Very senior officials in Jerusalem described the proposal that Kerry put on the table as a 'strategic terrorist attack'."

The Israelis are more extreme in their hateful rhetoric towards the Obama campaign and USA than is the Kremlin. Time for Israel to deal with its neighbors, including Iran, by itself.

1. Simple fix

Cut off all military aid and we might see a change of attitude. But, just my opinion.....

2. Another fix:

Cutting diplomatic relations and calling back to D.C the US ambassador in Israel.

3. I think voting against their racist asses at the UN Security Council

would suffice.

4. I would take an abstaining position as a severe rebuke. Let Israel's government stand alone

since they feel so righteous about their acts of self defense and proportionality.

6. Apparently 15-0 vote in favor of

immediate, unconditional cease-fire.

Which is opposed by 87% of Israelis.

[Jefferson23]

8. Excellent.

Interesting vote score there, and very sad percentage of those Israelis who oppose it.

5. All the above.

Immediate suspension of military support. Tell Israel they can no longer hide behind the US's skirts in the UN... we will no longer automatically veto Security Council resolutions. Time for the brat child to get a wake-up call that the adults will no longer put up with their behavior.

7. This.

10. I think far worse than just a brat

more like a full blown psychopath that needs to be stopped asap.
