No Sir, I don't like it.

Let's call Kerry, BUNGLE
If Kery really was from the government saying "I'm here to help", they'd have given him a gun.
He could then turn it on himself and commit suicide with three shots to the head.
yes AFTER he used it on Netanyahoo
Nail gun?
Irish Senator goes off on the Israeli genocide against the Palistinians. This is a must-watch!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keS-LDl_ewA#t=225
Genocide? There are about 1.4 million Arabs in Gaza, and lets say 1500 terrorists and human shield civilians killed in one month.
That's a kill rate of 0.0011/30= 0.000035/day. That isn't genocide. One would think the Israelis learned a bit more about efficiency in the 1940's.
I think by that definition you could be correct, not by the numbers, but by the general definitions of genocide. Once can easily claim however that the actions of the Israelis, overall, is rather "genocidal" in nature.
He is speaking the truth in every word. I only wonder what was the reaction of the other members. Was there applause or was it quiet? Most probably there was quiet out of fear to be put on the media-pillory the next day. The video stopped instanly after his last word. I'm waiting for the day one member of parliament in Germany or in France or Italy is daring to speak out in the same way as this senator does.
The thing is, knowing of crimes against humanity and not speaking out against it is making each member of a parliament an accomplice. Its there duty to speak against it and if he does not he is covering up the crimes and therefore extending them.
That cartoon reminds me of this classic Bugs Bunny cartoon:

P-E-T-R-O-L That sure is a funny way to spell water.
iraq, syria and libya along with the iran campaign and egypt are all benefitting israel. we have helped israel way to much for way too high a price. it is time to stop helping them.
Obama and Kerry treat foreign policy the same way they treat House Republicans. They tell other countries and Congress what the White House wants - there is no listening to the other's position or ideas, and no negotiations. Any refusal if the White House position is met with threats or end runs to crush or bypass whatever stands in their way. The results are pretty easy to see, and the flames in the cartoon are spreading.
why the long face?
Not a horse of course, but a whipped mule doing whats hes told.
Obama's diplomacy = Reagan's nightmare.
I think one of the biggest (and most frequent) mistakes people make re: foreign conflicts is equating the PEOPLE of a nation with the GOVERNMENT of that nation, even when that government is democratically elected.
For example, the PEOPLE of the U.S. were overwhelmingly opposed to U.S. entry into World War 1, World War 2 (until the Pearl Harbor bombing, the Korean War, the Vietnam War (its later years), the Afghanistan War, the Iraq War, the "attempted-war" against Syria, and any U.S.-NATO military intervention in UKraine. Even in 1775 it is estimated that only 3% of the pople in the American colonies favored going to war with Britain. And during Americs'a Civil War, the vast majority of the prople (especially in the North) were opposed to war - and tens of thousands, including a U.S. Congressman from a northern state, were imprisoned or exiled because of their dissent.
Similarly, the majority of the PEOPLE of Gaza, Palestine and Israel prefer peace to war. Throughout history it has always been a few FANATICS and PSYCHOPATHS in control of a GOVERNMENT who take nations into war.
To blame the people of a nation or of any particular religion for casuing a war is both ABSURD and STUPID. It has always been the few people within a government, supported by their "special interests", who start wars. Always was; and always will be.
Agree 100%. Politicians start wars, not countries.
"Politicians start wars" because the sleeple allow them, or are tricked by lies, PR campaigns, false flags, ....
The push-back against Obama's near-takeover of Syria was a brief, shining moment that holds a glimmer of hope. Or, were TPTB who control our media just not all on the same page?
I believe your argument is sound, BUT as an elected government the people are indirectly responsible for the actions of the elected officials. Why have a democracy at all if the officials can go on a rampage without any ramification????
NO FREE LUNCH is suppose to be the MO.
You know, its like being a minority shareholder of a public company. Even though you only have a few votes, people can banned together to obtain a critical mass to evict the criminal(s).
Seems to me the US democratic system is a totally dysfunctional.
Can't decide who is uglier at Foreign Policy Clinton or Kerry. Waiting to vote for Hillary to seal the end of the democrats for the remainder of history...problem is might be the end of the USA as well.
