The remarkable thing about Kerry's idiotic 'apartheid' statement is that there doesn't appear to be any recognition at all on his part or the people he's talking to of how making such an inflammatory characterization as that that utterly stigmatizes Israel as the unconscionable villain completely disincentivizes the Palestinians - ie, if by not making sacrifices now to get a deal they just sit back and wait for the world to thoroughly demonize Israel as the poster child of racist abuse and subjugation of an underclass until, like the reviled South African regime before, Israel is completely isolated and left with no choice but to capitulate, thus dooming them to the ravages of the truly intolerant Islamists, then why the hell make sacrifices for peace now or endure all the hardships and tough reckonings that would come once you no longer can just blame everything on Israel?
So again one is forced to ask: are Kerry et al really this stupid or has ideological hubris blinded them to such a degree that they just seem this stupid? Or - more worrying I think - is this a deliberate attempt to cater to anti-Zionist sentiments so as to back Israel into a no win situation?
