Israel Could Become ‘An Apartheid State’ says John Kerry

John Kerry is in a liberal state (of reasoning) where he can threaten and insult an entire nation, an ally and get away with it.

He is in full retreat mode now after attacked by AIPAC, the ADL, etc.

He is affirming his loyalty to Israel.

I wish American pols spoke of their love of and loyalty to America one tenth as often as they do to Israel.

What a bunch of groveling vermin

how are things in Bedford?

Palestine has been in a state of continuous chaos since US occupuation began.

There's zero freedom and human rights in Israel today.

Israel is already an apartheid state. Go see for yourself. The two groups live side by side but Arabs need a special pass to go to certain zones. That is the definition of apartheid. Secondly, Palestine homes are routinely demolished to make way for settlements. Classic apartheid.

I am not blaming Israel. They do what they feel they have to do. But it is indeed apartheid.

Though the talks have realistically been over for a month now, since Israel reneged on its last prisoner releases, today marks the official end to the current peace process, and has Israelis looking back at the roughly nine months of negotiations.

Those hoping for peace didn’t get much out of the talks, as they never really got off the ground and stalled on seemingly every point. The hawks did much better, with Israel approving nearly 14,000 settlement homes in the occupied West Bank during the negotiations.

While hawks often griped about the peace process, the government regularly unveiled grand new construction plans to try to “placate” them, and ended up expanding settlements massively, the only tangible result of talks no one expected to net a real deal.

Peace Now, which released the final figures on the settlement construction, noted that the current right-far-right government has built three times as many settlements as any other in Israeli history, and the government is expected to increase the rate of expansion even further now that the talks are over, couching it as “retaliation.”

Israel’s Defense Ministry is also continuing to demolish Palestinian homes and buildings in the West Bank as the expansion grows. Today, Israeli troops moved against the village of Krirbet al-Taweel, destroying several buildings, including a mosque.

The Dutch setup apartheid in South Africa with four distinct classes: white, Asian, Mulatto, and African.

Israel has setup apartheid with three distinct classes: Jewish, Muslim, Christian.

Why can't we in America have charter communities of 'designer apartheid' where the community incorporates with their choices.

For example:

1) DNA lab verified Anglo/Germanic + Mormon

2) Mullatoe + Christian

3) Southeast Asian + Catholic

etc.

Israeli Occupation -- paid for by the US taxpayer. To be clear

You cannot let a pack of blood thirsty hyenas vote over whether you should be eaten for dinner.

The only way to preserve democracy is to kick out the Muslims. Both from Israel and from Europe.

John Heinz Kerry is an elitist, opportunistic blowhard who has no business being the head of the diplomatic corps.

Actually that is his business.

I hate that because i am a jew and stand against Israel's racist policies and stand against the far right gov they have in place, people accuse me of being a self hating. But i do realize both sides are at fault (moreso the terrorists)

Between voter apathy among rural blacks, republican gerrymandering, and voter I.D. laws, we have apartheid going on in the South.

this. Israel is indeed an apartheid state

In the same speech, Kerry said that he was OK with Israel discriminating against Arab Israeli citizens. It is funny that no one considers that part of his speech as being controversial.

We are raised from pre-school to include the shy kids, fat kids, non-white kids, kids with one parent, bullies, and so forth. Then when we see our tax money going to a racist, apartheid colony in Israel, we are told to shut up or else we are labelled 'anti-semitic'. After the Sterling/Clippers fiasco, should we be hush any longer?

Can't Obama impose sanctions on Israel until they agree to voting rights? Imagine if the United States went back to the days of denying voting rights to Asians, Mexicans, Blacks, and Jews. That would be chaotic.
