John Kerry and Israeli apartheid

John Kerry and Israeli apartheid

Anti-Palestinian advocates are up in arms over US Secretary of State John Kerry’s warning that Israel could become an “apartheid state” in the absence of a “two-state solution.”


The Anti-Defamation League declared itself “startled and disappointed
that Kerry would use the “offensive term ‘apartheid’ to warn what might
become of Israel should an agreement not be reached with the
Palestinians.” The neoconservative Emergency Committee for Israel has
meanwhile demanded that Kerry be sacked.


Caught on tape

Kerry made his “apartheid state” comment in a closed meeting of
“influential world leaders” on Friday and lashed out at Israeli and
Palestinian leaders, blaming both for the failure of negotiations.
Kerry’s comments, caught on tape and reported by The Daily Beast, included:


A two-state solution will be clearly underscored as the only real
alternative. Because a unitary state winds up either being an apartheid
state with second-class citizens – or it ends up being a state that
destroys the capacity of Israel to be a Jewish state … . Once you put
that frame in your mind, that reality, which is the bottom line, you
understand how imperative it is to get to the two-state solution, which
both [Israeli and Palestinian] leaders, even yesterday, said they remain
deeply committed to.

Easy nomination, no matter the guy is a criminal, not to mention a blood-thirsty warmongering psychopath. Gates was at the core of the so-called Iran-Contra affair, but then it is business as usual in Washington, as the Bush administration is packed like a sardine tin with Iran-Contra criminals. Lawrence E. Walsh, the independent counsel in the Iran-Contra investigation, knew Gates was lying about his collaboration with fellow criminal, now respected Fox News talking head, Oliver North, the guy who wanted to suspend the Constitution and throw demonstrators in gulags under Rex-84. In 1984, as understudy and protégé of then CIA director-ghoul, William Casey, Gates wanted to bomb the dickens out of Nica

A day earlier, Tilahun flew from New York City to Addis Ababa to spend Easter with his family. Reacting to the sudden death of Tilahun Gessesse, the Washington-based Radio Host Abebe Belew, also a close friend of Tilahun, said he was deeply shocked. "He was sporting a heatlhy look and was in good spirits when left for Ethiopia Saturday. On Sunday in Addis, we heard Tilahun was sick with "some burning" and was being rushed to a hospital when in the midst of all the chaos came in the news of his sudden death," Abebe said. "I wonder if there could be another Ethiopian who would live up to
