Israel: MUST READ Open Letter to John Kerry

John Kerry MAY be the current US Secretary of State, but just about daily, he proves what a clueless moron he is. As we have seen, his boss - the Mouth In Chief  - also demonstrates on a daily basis just how dangerous, to all of us, this wilful ignorance about world affairs really is.

Now from Israel comes an open letter to John Kerry; you know, giving him FACTS from the Israeli point of view.

From The Times of Israel:

Greater Men have Tried

February 2, 2014

Paula R. Stern

Dear Secretary of State John Kerry: 

Because of my respect for the United States, I will attempt to afford you the honor you think you so richly deserve. It’s hard to speak to you with anything but anger, hard to feel the need, again, to start from the beginning because you clearly choose to ignore history in your quest for glory. It is a quest destined to fail but its outcome, even, or more accurately especially, in failure, will hurt Israel.

Greater men than you have tried to make, to force, peace on the Middle East. I promise you, you will fail too. You will fail because you are not addressing the root cause of the problem. You, like so many before you, take the easy way out. Blame Israel. It is so easy to do, and so stupid.

I could speak to you of history – a history longer and greater than you can imagine. I could speak to you of injustices – yes, our land is filled with the graves of those murdered for the unjust reason that they lived here, or traveled abroad, or ate in the wrong restaurant, or took the wrong bus.

I could speak to you of justice – of a population exchange similar to those that have taken place throughout history as nations settle between war and peace. They left their lands to go there, most voluntarily so that their invading brothers would have a clear path as they pushed the Jews into the sea. And our people, who left their homes and possessions in Arab lands, most forced, not voluntarily, and came here...


I prefaced this post by calling it a MUST READ.  Sadly, John Kerry, and others in this administration who should read this and learn, will not.  You can find the rest of this letter here.
