Did Kerry really say, or strongly intimate to put it more accurately, that if Israel doesn't use current negotiations to reach a deal with the Palestinians, that the boycotting of Israel as a pariah state will be the result - in essence, then, has Kerry legitimized the whole atrociously misguided and ruinously short sighted boycott movement? Is this man an idiot? How much worse when it comes to foreign policy can this wretched administration get? Three more years of these besotted fools and the US is going to be at war in the China Sea and the Mideast. Jesus.
I was reading something in the WSJ about how businesses are experiencing good profits but are still refusing to invest the money - is it because they, focused as they are on the bottom line, clearly see just how awful the Obama presidency is, how everything is trending badly, how the road we're on is leading to a very unfortunate place and they're keeping their powder dry in full expectation of the inevitability of it?
It's as if Obama has no plan B - ya know, as many of us predicted years ago, he came to the White House a fully committed left wing ideologue who felt he could use his favored [idolatrous] standing with the press and media and the power of his oratory combined with the utterly shallow and simple minded glorification of his persona as the first black [sort of black] president to push through a hyper liberal agenda disguised as being all perfectly reasonable etc etc and if the GOP said otherwise well that's because they're all a bunch of racists etc etc - but now that that grand illusion of an idea has gone all to shit he has no clue what to do, he has no plan B - Clinton had a plan B, even Bush had a plan B - but Obama is just stuck out there driving the car towards a cliff as if under the delusion that somehow everything is gonna be fine just so long as he keeps driving. Or maybe he is indeed such a committed Alinskyite ideologue that he feels driving over the cliff is an acceptable price to pay - just so long as the cliff is to the left.
Or is it that they are just all grotesquely incompetent fools without the slightest sense of how to go about governing a country like America and are thusly left with nothing to do but stumble about in their little echo chamber utterly detached from reality? Can't rule it out.
[some saying in defense of Kerry that he was just stating the truth, including Israel's Lapid - but of course we know that, we understand that the boycott is a real threat and very likely will ramp up if present negotiations fail which is why it is so important to say nothing that may seem to lend legitimacy to this idiocy, especially when every reasonable, objective view of these Kerry led negotiations has said all along there's virtually no chance of them being successful which is why there is so much dislike of Kerry behind the scenes coming from Israel - a few weeks ago he seemed to lend legitimacy to idea that if negotiations fail violence from Palestinians would make sense, and now he's done the same thing with the boycott movement - doesn't matter, doesn't matter at all if this wasn't what he meant to do - it is the effect of what he's done and so criticism of him is entirely justified especially since these negotiations are happening only because the Obama administration insisted - and I'm not at all sure it wasn't what he meant to do: Obama has acted since the beginning of his presidency as if his celebrity granted him some 'magical' ability to force unpalatable concessions on Israel and also as if the Palestinians were not motivated by a politics wholly at odds with acceptance of the Jewish state - that's delusional and naive thinking but entirely of a piece with the far left's grossly misguided views of Israel and the Mideast in general]
