Of course, he didn&#8217;t mention that Hamas doesn&#8217;t recognize Israel as a legitimate state, so what would be the point.<\/p>\n<p>But, that commission meeting was supposed to be closed to reporters, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/blogs\/media\/2014\/04\/john-kerrys-private-remarks-taped-by-reporter-187578.html\">Politico<\/a> and if Rogan hadn&#8217;t sneaked into that meeting, we wouldn&#8217;t know what Kerry was saying about our foreign policy behind our backs. Well, Kerry has begun to back away from those comments. From the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.state.gov\/secretary\/remarks\/2014\/04\/225326.htm\">State Department website<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I will not allow my commitment to Israel to be questioned by anyone, particularly for partisan, political purposes, so I want to be crystal clear about what I believe and what I don\u2019t believe.<\/p>\n<p>First, Israel is a vibrant democracy and I do not believe, nor have I ever stated, publicly or privately, that Israel is an apartheid state or that it intends to become one. Anyone who knows anything about me knows that without a shred of doubt.<\/p>\n<p>Second, I have been around long enough to also know the power of words to create a misimpression, even when unintentional, and if I could rewind the tape, I would have chosen a different word to describe my firm belief that the only way in the long term to have a Jewish state and two nations and two peoples living side by side in peace and security is through a two state solution.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, well, you can&#8217;t rewind the tape, Horseface. You said what you said and we got a glimpse of what you really think about the only democracy in the Middle East. So, some Senators, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/story\/2014\/04\/ted-cruz-john-kerry-106115.html\">specifically Ted Cruz<\/a>, are now calling for Kerry&#8217;s resignation;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Texas GOP senator said he read Kerry\u2019s comments with \u201cgreat sadness\u201d but that those type of remarks are precisely why he voted against the former Massachusetts senator\u2019s nomination last year.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, but how many Republican Senators knew that Kerry was an irrational ideologue and confirmed his appointment anyway? They blocked John Bolton&#8217;s appointment as ambassador to the United Nations, but confirmed Kerry? Why is everyone so surprised that Kerry went off the rails? He&#8217;s been off the rails since 1971. Cruz is right that he shouldn&#8217;t have been confirmed in the first place, but the damage is done.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The other day, Josh Rogin, a reporter for the Daily Beast, sneaked into a meeting of &hellip; <a title=\"John Kerry surprises the world that he&#8217;s an idiot\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=45299\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">John Kerry surprises the world that he&#8217;s an idiot<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":33353,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,175],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45299","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-foreign-policy","category-john-kerry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45299","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=45299"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45299\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/33353"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=45299"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=45299"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=45299"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
