John Kerry's entire speech on Israel

US Secretary of State John Kerry addressed the Obama administration's relationship with Israel and defended the decision to abstain from a UN Security Council vote on a resolution that criticized Israeli expansion into the West Bank.

The best speech in History .
He is truthful and dependable leader .
The best secretary of state, America ever had.

[RGNSS-dpst]

Not sure whether to be utterly thrilled that this speech has finally been made, or completely disgusted that it took this long.

[ascendantrocket]

Israel should understand that they are wrong and should express a little more appreciation for the support the U.S. has given them for years and years (as they say "don't bite the hand that feeds you"). BB Netanyahu is trying to criticize the Obama administration in order to cozy up to Trump for Israel's own gains.

Listening to this following the horrible tensions of 2023

[Illyrian_Warrior]

This is the best speach I've heard from politics.

[VPSantiago]

That's a great speech, thank you John Kerry for putting American foreign policy first and speaking about the illogical settlement expansion that Isreal is trying to do

[redmenace]

TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE. WHY THE F DID THEY WAIT TIL THE VERY END? JUST A CHEAP TRICK, NOTHING MORE.

[jcloud]

John Kerry does have a spine. I misjudged him. Its harder to speak the truth in Washington than anywhere on earth. Salute.

[dwightd.eisenhower]

I actually agree with Kerry on this one.

[BenJamin-rtui]

Like saying that by ending apartheid in SA, blacks and whites could never live in peace. Sure Jews and Palestinians could live within the same borders in peace and prosperity. That's what justice looks like.

[calumhall]

Brilliant, best thing he ever said. Balanced and informative .

[DeepStateNewZik]

God Bless John Kerry. It was too late but Justice is never too late if it happens.

[MsBen]

gutsy speech...peace for the people of israel and palestine...

[fato]

SS very sharp and very true comment... completely agreed with you.

[hughesdarnell]

This guy does not understand the concepts of the two cultures on the ground, first Palestine has never been a state ever.  If they wish to be a state then let them become one on their own.  Our interests should only be with our allies. Palestine has always been supported by Iran. If you try and make any effort to side with Palestine, Iran will just exploit this in their continued effort to destroy Israel like they’ve along with Iran has always said they would.  Let Palestine first denounce Iran, and once they do that are willing to come to the negotiation table and discuss a mutual dialog of peace.  Secondly we should only be involved if we are requested to get involved other than that we should stay out of the Palestinian business.

[bigbillme]

If you are still breathing, it is never too late.

[francisfreyre]

A very nice and eloquent speech, how well prepared Mr. John Kerry is . A delicious lesson to all of us who want to increase their abilities to speak and improve ourselves.

[minnows]

Kerry showed courage here, standing up to the Israelis and their unconscionable mistreatment of the Palestinians. President Trump has retreated from this.

[rosedenerefurbishment]

This gives new hope for the Palestinian people from hopeless to hopeful and Israel occupation must end.

[mohammedessa]

i speak.up for the Palestinians even though these people are in extreme suffering they spoke out for the Syrian peoples, Palestinians done more for the Syrian people than Israel
