time for Kerry to go

Time for Kerry to Go

""Kerry's approach has ignited a firestorm in Israel, with commentators left and right accusing him of taking Hamas' side and betraying Israel. That criticism is unfair, and it prompted a complaint Sunday from Obama in a phone call to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Kerry's mistake isn't any bias against Israel, but a bias in favor of an executable, short-term deal. A case can be made for this "kick the can down the road" approach, as I did last week in discussing Kerry's recent diplomatic negotiations over Iran's nuclear program and with rival political leaders in Afghanistan.""

Like hell it isn't about bias against Israel. Perhaps it is caused by his imperial "let them eat cake" atitude, but it is bias. Perhaps it is hatred for US therefor Israel.   In any case, Karry is damaged goods  and should recluse himself to allow a faster agreement to be achieved.  How about John Bolton as pinch hitter.

Now let's talk about the author's bias.
""Israel has undermined its own cause with statements that appear to be insensitive to Palestinian loss of life. One example is Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer's claim that "the Israeli Defense Forces should be given the Nobel Peace Prize" for showing "unimaginable restraint," at a time when photos and videos provide wrenching evidence of civilian casualties in the densely packed cities of Gaza.""

The author is straining to claim moral equilevance, rockets versis hurt feelings.

How about the two assistants (Turky and Qutar) committing to preventing any further rocket fire from gausa and failing that submit themselves to a token number of US rockets (or smart booms).  They can show the world the tolerance they have. ( only in the tens, not hundreds).  We would of couse only bome military targets.
