Saying just the right thing at just the right moment is not
Mr. Kerry’s strong suit, nor for that matter is diplomacy, effective
in foreign policy only when it is attached to strength and honor. In
this, Mr. Kerry is a chip off his chief’s block. Having failed diplomatically in
Iraq, Mr. Obama withdrew American troops from the country, creating a vacuum
that eventually was filled by what Mr. Obama called “a JV team.” That would be
ISIS, which now has a presence in multiple countries in the Middle East and the
North African continent. Additionally,
ISIS inspires Islamic terrorists – what else to call them? – to kill civilians
in France, Belgium, Great Britain and the United States, having perfected their
murderous ways by burning Christian churches and slicing Christian throats in
the ravaged Middle East.
During Mr. Obama’s time as President, Russia chomped off a
piece of Ukraine; Mrs. Clinton’s adventure in Libya failed to bring peace and
prosperity to that country; the red-line Mr. Obama drew in Syria mysteriously
faded from view; Iran continued to make
menacing gestures towards both Israel and the United States, for which it was
rewarded by a repeal of an effective embargo and a “deal,” not officially
affirmed by the U.S. Congress, that did not advance the interests of the United
States, not to mention plane loads of cash sent Iran’s way by Mr. Obama and Mr.
Kerry, Mrs. Clinton having since left the scene to begin her presidential
campaign preparations.
Now Mr. Obama has betrayed fifty years of close and intimate
relations between the United States and Israel, the only U.S. friendly
democracy – that word again – in the Middle East.
Betrayal comes easy to Mr. Kerry who, arriving home from
Vietnam, testified before Congress that his comrades in arms in Vietnam had committed atrocities worthy of Genghis
Khan. Calling himself a “Winter Soldier,” Kerry testified that an investigation
in which he had participated showed that American troops in Vietnam had “raped,
cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human
genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot
at civilians, razed villages in a fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot
cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the
countryside of South Vietnam in addition to the normal ravages of war, and the
normal and very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power
of this country.”
Mr. Kerry was hoisted into the U.S Senate by those raped women, cut off ears and dissevered heads. And even today he is incapable of properly distinguishing honorable Israeli soldiers from the Genghis Khans who surround them or the ISIS soldiers of Islam, who really do rape women and cut off heads.

Having “stabbed Israel in the front,” not in the back, said John Bolton in the Wall Street Journal,
Kerry, in his most recent apologia, shifted blame to Israel. His remarks were
not only incomprehensible; they were laughable. These are the graceless notes
of a departing, seriously wounded lame duck president and – one can only hope –
the final political swan song of a Winter Soldier steeped in betrayal and
subversion.
There are two unanswered questions, neither of which, one can
be sure, will be resolved by Connecticut’s two U.S. Senators, both of whom have
condemned the U.S. abstention at the United Nations.
The first question is: Who was the architect of the
stab-in-the-front resolution? Some reports have indicated that “senior Obama administration officials, including Secretary of State John
Kerry and Vice President Joe Biden, have been identified as leading the charge
to ensure the anti-Israel measure won approval by the U.N. Security Council.”
The larger, more important and over-arching question is:
What is to be done?
Mr. Bolton is convinced that the “two state solution” to a
lasting peace between Israel and its hostile neighbors has been shown to be a failure
multiple times – because one of the two “states” suing for peace is not a
state. The Palestinian Authority is the sword point of Islamic terrorists and
their supporters who wish to push Israel into the sea. The incoming Trump
administration, Mr. Bolton advises, should “essay a ‘three-state solution,’
returning Gaza to Egypt and giving those parts of the West Bank that Israel is
prepared to cede to Jordan. By attaching Palestinian lands to real economies
(not a make-believe one), average Palestinians (not their political elite),
will have a true chance for a better future.”
A better future for either the Israelis or the Palestinians is the last thing the enemies of Israel -- including Mr. Obama and Mr. Kerry -- want.
