#1 The United Sates continue to believe the settlements are not helpful," Kerry said.

He's quite right! The settlements are not helpful to the spread of Islamic totalitarianism, hate, and anti-semitism.

#2 There is an old BASIC rule. If your enemy wants it then don't let him have it. Even if you don't need it and its useless to you, don't let him have it ANYWAY.

Kerry is squat. Kerry is ...words absolutely fail me.

The Settlements WORK. Keep them up and expand them in any way possible. You owe nothing to the Palestinians, the sooner they move to Brazil the better. They will be happier there and you are doing them a favor. Bye-bye and send me a postcard from the Orinoco.

#3 Quite probably the Palestinian authorities agreed in private discussions to ignore the construction, while publicly condemning it. Kerry, by giving US support for that condemnation, puts pressure on those authorities to abandon the peace talks unless Israel stops the construction. After all, can the PA be less zealous in opposing building construction that the United States Government?
Why did he do that?
Is he against peace talks?
Does he want to give a boost to Hamas's anti PA propaganda?
Is he a buffoon?
Is there another explanation?

#4 "I want to make it extremely clear that at no time did the Paleostinians in any way agree, as a matter of going back to the talks, that they could somehow condone or accept the settlements," Kerry said"

or the existance of israel.

#5 To see this, imagine that Kerry had instead met with some politicians in Bersheva, and then announced that the United States never releases convicted terrorists to further political or diplomatic goals (and that seems to be accepted US policy).
Would that further peace negotiations? If so why does he not do so?

#6 Quite probably the Palestinian authorities agreed in private discussions to ignore the construction, while publicly condemning it.

I suspect a lot of stuff in the ME works like that - sort of the confluence between "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" and "I against my brother, my brother and I against my cousins..." meets RealPolitik(tm)

#7 My brother against my cousins who are also half brothers and uncles who are only seen on EID 4, celebrated on the most confusing day of the year.

#10 It's all them jooz' fault!

Eventually, they'll have to put their pants on and kick these ay-rabz intruders out of their country.

Malaysia just expelled five million Indonesians...did you hear anyone complain...even Djakarta didn't say squat!

Jews will keep bending over for the sand niggers until they will be in the ocean to their neck...

Barry Hussein does NOT have the Jews' welfare in mind, even if them Jews are the ones that elected him and are keeping the degenerate pervert shielded from any criticism.
