The furor over remarks by Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon about U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry show that the Palestinian Authority-Israeli “quality that they all share, so stupendously in an exhibitionist way, is to explain why it's the U.S.'s fault,” U.S.-Israel relations expert Alon Pinkas told NBC World News. The Yediot Acharonot journalist who wrote […]
Jordan might be the X factor in Kerry’s foolsmanship in the Middle East.
The Rabbinical Congress for Peace (RCP), comprising over 350 prominent Israeli rabbis, has sent a letter of support and encouragement to Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon for his clear and fearless remarks that “enough is enough.” The rabbis assured him that the Torah supports those who “stand firm, speak the truth, and thereby lead to a […]

When an Israeli leader says what he really thinks of Kerry, it‘s no wonder the US is insulted, even if true.
Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon said in private that U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry acts out of “misplaced obsession and messianic fervor [and] cannot teach me anything about the conflict with the Palestinians." Ya’alon, whose remarks were quoted by the Yediot Acharonot newspaper, also commented, The only thing that can 'save us' is for John […]
Independent Congressional scrutiny of this Palestinian state-driven policy is doubly-essential.
Visiting Germany Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier accused Israel of “disrupting” talks with the Palestinian Authority for a peace agreement by announcing the construction of more homes for Jews in Judea and Samaria. He alleged that the building violates understandings that Kerry set forth last July, when direct talks resumed for the first time in three […]
The very thought of an American diplomat saying that Pollard is a traitor but should be freed in return for Israel’s agreeing to Palestinian Authority terms reaches the most obscene depth of hypocrisy.
Kerry may be an idiot, but he is not stupid and he is not letting Abbas and Netanyahu block him from proving he is not a friend of anyone except Barack Obama.

Israel published plans to build nearly 300 Judea and Samaria apartments as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry wrapped up a visit to the Middle East without an official framework agreement between Israeli and Palestinian negotiators.

Palestinian Authority Arabs attacks Israeli soldiers and civilians Monday night with two Molotov cocktail attacks on an IDF post neat Bethlehem and Rachel’s Tomb (Kever Rachel), injuring one person. Attacking Jews has been increasing popular among Arabs in Judea the past several weeks and follows a bit of incitement by U.S. Secretary of State John […]
The Palestinian Authority propaganda machine is one of Abbas biggest weapons, and Israel has no antidote that would act as a parallel to an Iron Dome anti-propaganda missile.
The shaggy dog story of attempted unity between the rival Hamas terrorist organization and its rival Fatah, headed by Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas, took another turn towards an agreement Monday with Hamas’s offer offering to free Fatah prisoners and allow the return of Fatah legislators to their homes. Fatah staged a coup in 2007 […]

Israelis negotiate like Americans and Europeans. Palestinians work in a different way.
Kerry is manipulating peace talks as if Hamas does not exist, but one day, he will have to come terms with reality.
Kerry ignored the comments.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry landed at Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport around 3 p.m. Thursday, bringing with him the usual traffic headache for motorists who are kept away from the Tel Aviv-Jerusalem highway while his cavalcade takes him for a meeting with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. Kerry is scheduled to meet with Palestinian Authority […]
The Palestinian Authority opened up the propaganda taps Wednesday with charges that Israel and the “occupation forces” are “torturing” Arab children. The allegations were reported several hours before U.S. Secretary of State John Kelley landed in Israel. He previously has incited Arab violence by warning Israel that if it does not do as he says, […]
As secretary of state Kerry arrives in Israel to twist the arms of the parties into a "peace" agreement, the Palestinian Arabs make clear their goals and methodology
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will be more polite in announcing new housing for Jews in Judea and Samaria this time around and will wait until U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is out of town before stating the plans, Army Radio reported Wednesday. Almost every time an American official visits Israel and wins concessions for […]
The United States will increase its aid to the Palestinian Authority by $14 million in 2014, bringing the American contributions to Mahmoud Abbas’ regime to $440 million, according to Maen Rashid Areikat, the PA’s chief representative in Washington.

Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas welcomed the "steadfastness” of so-called “Palestinian refugees” in Syria in a televised speech but forget to mention his concern for them did not extend to helping those who are dying of starvation. “Marking the 49th anniversary of the Palestinian Revolution … Abbas [said], “We negotiate to reach a fair solution […]
The United Nations says living in Judea and Samaria and most of Jerusalem are “illegal. ”Obama says they are “illegitimate. ”Now Palestinian Authority man calls them a “cancer.”

The cabinet met in […]

Below is a list of the 26 terrorists set to be released, and the identity of many of their victims - in the name of the "peace talks".
Israel will trade 26 more terrorists for between 1,000 and 2,000 new homes for Jews in Judea and Samaria, according to a government official quoted by Israeli television Wednesday. There is a broad consensus in Israel against freeing more terrorists in the four-step release plan to release 104 terrorists and security prisoners during the nine […]
The widespread support for "Hitler" [Jamal Abu al Rub] reflects the state of dissatisfaction with Abbas and his top aides.

An email from the US Embassy in Israel…
Senior Palestinian Authority Saeb Erekat negotiator Saeb Erekat has dashed and ideas that the “nine-month peace talks” will be extended and told the PA’s official radio station Monday, "We turn down any extension.” Erekat said his previous remarks have been misinterpreted and clarified, "I said that if we reach an agreement on all final status […]
Sunday’s terrorist attack on a metropolitan Tel Aviv bus was only one of at least 150 “significant” attempts at terror by Palestinian Authority Arabs this year, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told the Likud Knesset caucus Monday. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and President Barack Obama have repeatedly claimed that Mahmoud Abbas, chairman of the […]
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, in separate phone calls, allegedly scolded U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry for what he said was an American breach of the recent interim agreement between major world powers and Iran over its nuclear development program. “Zarif deplored Washington's recent move,” according to the regime-controlled Fars News Agency. “The […]
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has been meeting with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu Friday morning and into the afternoon following his talks with Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas Thursday night. The snowstorm that has literally placed Jerusalem under siege forced Kerry to alter his plan to talk twice with the Prime Minister, once before […]
The snowstorm’s delay of Kerry’s meeting with Netanyahu finally gives Abbas a chance to explain why Israel must not exist as a Jewish state.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry warned Congress on Tuesday that new sanctions against Iran would be “gratuitous” and could harm any agreement with Iran as well as relations with world powers in the P5+1 group. Speaking to the House Foreign Affairs Committee before leaving for another trip to Israel and the Palestinian Authority and […]
Israelis have prayed for rain in a dry November and now are getting the dividends in spades, thanks to a rare early winter storm “from Russia with love.”
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has pushed off a planned trip to the Far East and will return to Israel and the Palestinian Authority for more discussions, the State Dept. announced Monday. He left last week after what all reports said was a failed mission to bridge gaps between PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas and […]
Either Kerry is smoking something weird, Livni is selling Israel up the creek or Bennett is about to break up the government. Kerry: We are close than ever to an agreement; Bennett: Start annexing.
The Jewish Press now reveals what Kerry and Netanyahu really meant to say Thursday.
By JTA
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said talks between Israelis and Palestinians entered a difficult phase over security guarantees. Speaking in Tel Aviv before returning to the United States, Kerry said the sides remained committed to advancing toward a peace agreement and that he expected to return to the region in a week or so. […]
Security safeguards for Israel proposed by the US were rejected by the PA
Kerry said the best words possible to keep alive his Peace Talk Follies and the worst thing possible to convince Israel when he stated, “Israel’s security is as the top of our agenda.”
The Obama administration is preparing to knife Israel in the back by forcing it to accept concessions on land and security to keep the Palestinian Authority happy.
After more than 60 years as a member nation of the UN, Israel will finally have an official regional home there as of Jan. 1, 2014

Israel's Deputy Minister of Religious Affairs Eli Ben-Dahan has accused U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry of giving “legitimacy to terror” and misunderstanding Middle East politics. “John Kerry, who warns us of an intifada, does not understand the Middle East, and he is not worthy to be a mediator when he goes back to his […]
Perhaps Obama and Kerry are finally learning that any agreement made with the Arab world simply is a basis for an argument. But don’t bet on it.
The Palestinian Authority negotiating team has found its way down from a weak limb on a tall tree by saying that they resignations are final but that they will continue “temporarily” until replacements are found. Presumably, that will happen in around five months, when the nine-month period U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s Grand Plan […]
If all the world's experts on peace had raised turkeys on a kibbutz, there might be peace in the Middle East.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told reporters Monday he is postponing what was supposed to be a visit to Israel and the Palestinian Authority next week and will return to the region after the Thanksgiving holiday.

Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas, undoubtedly under pressure from the Obama administration, has backed off his latest threat to halt the American-led direct talks with Israel. He told the French news agency AFP Monday, "We have committed to continue the negotiations for nine months, regardless of what happens on the ground.” However he added that […]
Obama is used to Netanyahu bickering with him, but when a majority of Israelis, usually gung-ho on anything that comes out Washington, say they distrust the president, something is rotten in the White House.
Home Front Defense and Communications Minister Gilad Erdan said Thursday morning he was “astounded” at U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s claim at a Senate committee session Wednesday that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is arguing against a deal with Iran before it is concluded. “I have not heard such a claim for many years,” Erdan […]
Whenever someone asked Kerry "what would the Israelis say?" Kerry said, "Stop listening to the Israelis."
Move over Uri Ariel. Netanyahu has replaced you with John Kerry. No new homes for Jews in Judea and Samaria are approved without the confirmation of the Obama administration.
The PA does not need an official policy of incitement, The Arab culture does a good job at it all by itself. PA Arabs now can watch their favorite soccer teams, named after some of the most barbaric terrorists.
The good news is that Saeb Erekat and his sidekick finally have made good on their perennial threat to quit as Abbas’ “negotiators.” The bad news is that they might return or, worse, that they will be replaced.
Kerry warned Israel faces a new intifada if it does not choke itself to death. A lone PA terrorist, on cue, killed a soldier, and everyone screams ‘Third Intifada.’ It won’t happen – unless Kerry continues to incite.
Kerry is now trying to defang the "biting sanctions" this administration crowed incessantly about during the presidential campaign.
The State Dept. may or may not be blind and stupid, but the US Air Force certainly is not. Below is a rare image of its B-2 stealth bomber and bunker buster, the “military option” to get rid of the Iranian nuclear threat.
Kerry's gloves came off last week, now former legal counsel to the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs removed his. The difference? The Israeli's speech sans gloves are steeped in law and fact.
The last time the Americans tried to extract concessions from the Palestinians, within a few weeks the Palestinians launched the Second Intifada against Israel; Abbas has already threatened as much.
J Street blaming Israel for failure to achieve peace with the Palestinian Arabs and blaming groups opposed to easing sanctions against Iran as the reason Iran may acquire nukes, is entirely consistent with J Street's "pro-Israel, pro-peace" tagline
In a remarkable televised interview, US Secretary of State John Kerry placed all the blame for any snags in the peace talks on Israel and threatened Israel of dire consequences if the current talks are not resolved to this US administration's satisfaction on the timetable set up by this administration.

The United States will maintain a robust military presence in the Persian Gulf to deter Iran, U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said, although military action would be a last resort to keep Iran from getting a nuclear bomb. Hagel in a speech Tuesday to the influential Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank […]
In public releases, and while in Israel, the U.S. sounds even-handed. But in territory controlled by the Palestinian Authority, the U.S. secretary of state was pointing a finger, it was pointed only towards the Israeli side, at the same time that his other hand was filled with additional $millions for the Arab Palestinians.
By JTA
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry denied reports that he is ready to impose a U.S. peace plan on Israelis and Palestinians. “Let me categorically dispel any notion that there is anything other than the track that is formally engaged in between Israel and the Palestinians,” Kerry said when asked by reporters Monday about the […]
The ‘test’ Mr. Kerry wants to perform is to weaken sanctions in return for promises and actions that will not materially affect Iran’s progress toward a weapon. That isn’t a test — it’s a capitulation.
The news is not that Gaza terrorists shelled Israel with mortars. The news is the IDF and the government did not comment. Perhaps the IDF will “retaliate” by bombing one tunnel but not enough to halt "peace talks."
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry agreed in a meeting in Rome Wednesday that “no deal [with Iran] is better than a bad deal.” Iran “shouldn't have a plutonium heavy water plant, which is used only for nuclear weapons,” the Prime Minister said. “They should get rid of the advanced […]
Obama can start praying that a Jerusalem court finds Avigdor Lieberman guilty for breach of trust. If he is acquitted, he will return as Foreign Minister, and then sparks will fly.
Israel insisted in July that it would release 104 terrorists in four stages as a test of Abbas’ willingness for peace. Three murders and two attempted murders later, Israel will bow to Kerry for stage two.
The “peace talks” would explode if the Knesset were to virtually eliminate the chance of dividing Jerusalem. Count on Netanya and Livni to force a Knesset panel to change a decision that could blow up the talks.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry will meet in Rome with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss talks with the Palestinians and Iran. Kerry will meet Oct. 23 with Netanyahu to “discuss ongoing final status negotiations with the Palestinians, along with Iran, Syria, and other issues of mutual concern,” the State Department said Thursday. […]
The political “center” always warps the memory of Rabin with its “peace is made with enemies” agenda, but when Peres spouts the "status quo can’t continue," he can't see it does not exist.
The IDF released a video Wednesday showing how it blew up a terror tunnel reaching Israel. The problem is there are hundreds of others waiting to be found and blown up before terrorists blow up Israelis.
Abbas is doing a great job to make the PA non-existent. He claims cooperation with the IDF is great but the IDF must stop entering Arab cities to arrests terrorists. Even Livni is not that naïve to agree.
Obama reaffirmed that the military option remained on the table, and Netanyahu stated the bottom line is Iran's dismantling of its nuclear weapons program.
“Truth or Consequences” was an old TV show. An entertainer performed a stupid stunt if he could not answer an equally stupid trivia question. Now Netanyahu and Obama are playing, but it is not a game.
Even the UN denounced the Palestinian Authority terrorist kidnap-murder of an Israeli soldier, but PA chairman Abbas has nothing to say. Based on previous demands, he should seek release of the killer.
Al Qaeda brought down the Twin Towers 12 years ago. With the help of other terrorists, it is bringing down Mideast regimes, banking on chaos to spread its policy of destruction of the West.

A senior Palestinian official said U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry “guaranteed in writing” that Israeli-Palestinian peace talks would start with the 1967 lines. American officials, however, denied the existence of such a document, The New York Times reported Tuesday. Nabil Shaath, the Palestinian commissioner for international relations, told the newspaper that the Palestinians agreed […]
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry warned House Armed Services Committee Tuesday that failure to grant President Obama the freedom to attack the Assad regime in Syria will strengthen the hand of Iran. “Iran … [is] watching what you do and whether or not this means something,” he said. “If we choose not to act, […]
Team Obama came down hard on AIPAC to use its political muscle to convince members of congress to vote in favor of the U.S. strike on Syria.
Russia suggests Assad turn over chemical weapons to the UN. Then Obama can call off an attack and Assad can claim he captured poison gas from rebels. But what about the nerve gas the Assad keeps hidden?
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Martin Dempsey made their case for the use of military force against Syria on September 3, in a hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
It’s a theory, but darned possible given Obama’s ego and powers of persuasion. What American would oppose a US attack to rid Syria of chemical weapons on Sept. 11 and regain the image of the almighty US?
In a press conference held in the middle of the day on Friday, August 30, U.S. secretary of state John Kerry made a compelling argument to the American people that the United States must respond militarily to the Syrian regime's use of chemical weapons against its people. Kerry, speaking from the Treaty Room of the […]
US unwilling to do more than confirm horrorific reality in Syria, AP reporter blows Arab cover
Kerry shuttled to Syria to “engage” Assad in 2006. Clinton called him a “reformer” after protests started. Obama gave Assad the gift of diplomatic ties while he was stockpiling chemical weapons. Assad fooled them all.
Secretary of State John Kerry met with what the Jewish Telegraph Agency described as "Jewish leaders" to "brief" them on the resumption of Israeli-Arab Palestinian talks on Thursday evening, August 8. Although the briefing was off the record, the JTA quoted unnamed attendants who said several things. First, that the meeting was dominated by Kerry's […]
Israel is so used to terror that it feels great when there are “only” 50 a month in Judea and Samaria. The US always gives Abbas credit for the reduction but never seems to blame them for attacks.
26 of the 104 Arab Palestinian prisoners will be released on Aug. 13, according to Arab negotiator Saeb Erekat
American Jews support Israelis in outrage directed at latest "peace" efforts which they believe will only lead to more terrorism
The JCPA went to congress urging the U.S. to restart the "peace talks." It also claims to be the the representative voice of the organized Jewish community. Both ideas are wrong-headed according to many who spoke with The Jewish Press.
Whether Robert Malley will be the most anti-Israel person on Secretary of State John Kerry's foreign policy team may be a tough call, but he sure will fit right in
The Boulder City Council Monday night decided to leave the “peace process” for those with less common sense and overwhelmingly nixed a controversial proposal to adopt Nablus, the Arab version of the Biblical city of Shechem, as a sister city. The council voted 7-2 against the proposal, according to the local ABC outlet Denver Channel, […]
