Israeli settlers mock Kerry's peacemaking with spoof video
2014-02-05
[The Telegraph] The main settlers' lobby has released a video ridiculing John Kerry's Middle East peace efforts, undermining a plea from the White House for Israeli
tea party
politicians to desist from personal attacks on the US secretary of state
It sounds like they are citizens, not politicians, and therefore not subject to the requested ban. Not that anyone could get Israelis to refrain from sharing their opinions anyway.
Israel's Yesha [settlers] Council
exercising what was formerly known as free speech
, posted online a deliberately disrespectful spoof depicting America's top diplomat - played by an actor resembling John Kerry - riding a camel and making a series of preposterous statements that belittle his understanding of the region's complexities.
If anything, this little exercise seems to severely understate the depths of our hero's lack of understanding...
At one point, the Mr Kerry character is seen down-playing the importance of the Western Wall, one of the holiest sites in Judaism, in Jerusalem's old city.

"Dividing Jerusalem is not an easy thing," the actor says. "We must realize it is holy to all religions - Jews, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Klingons and Hobbits. But what I'm saying is: 'why fight over an old wall?' I'll build you a brand new wall, close to the beach."

A woman with an American accent is then seen telling him: "I think you should go home, where you belong, and stay there."
And those of us here at home feel he should request Israeli asylum.

#8  "Buddhists, Klingons, + Hobbits" > D *** NG, I KNEW IT!

The list weirdly-n-mysteriously omits Grey Aliens + fire-breathing educated talking Dragons.

#6  Hey he may be a feckless, pompous, cake-eating buffoon, but he's OUR feckless, pompous, cake-eating buffoon!

Such a video is an untenable provocation. Let's go attack their Bengazi embassy and maybe kill their Ambassador w/out fear of recrimination.

(Better insert the /s for the NSA...)

#5  Â“Personal attacks in Israel directed at Sec Kerry totally unfounded and unacceptable,” Ms [Susan] Rice wrote in one tweet. Another said: “U.S. Govt has been clear and consistent that we reject efforts to boycott or delegitimize Israel.”

But then again we heard from Susan Rice after Benghazi too.
