John Kerry
Related: About this forumNice blog on Jerusalem Post - "John Kerry, hero"
http://blogs.jpost.com/content/john-kerry-heroGetting anywhere on this issue would be amazing and this article does not suggest that anything is near, but its description is one that seems to be what we have seen for years here - and MA people here have seen forever.
It is interesting to see both the leader on each side praising Kerry's actions - while trying to say the other side may make them fail - and people on the Israeli right and the American right attacking him even trying. The American centrists bother me more as they ignore that Kerry himself knows that this is very uphill and they ignore that no one trying guarantees nothing happens.

Reform Judaism is far bigger in the US than in Israel.

Don't like to say this, but, no wonder the Israelis are happy with him.

that is what Obama will order. In fact, if you listened to all the people in the administartion, we would have been fighting more than a year ago when Petraeous and Clinton were suggesting that we do more.
The fact is that Kerry has seemingly impressed the Palestinians as well as the Israelis.

I'm normally a fan of JK, but the recent mixed messages are worrying
