Kerry Caught on Camera Criticizing Israeli Gaza Operation

by JASmius

Given that he was publicly forced to acknowledge that yes, the Russians were behind the shooting down of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH-17, which must have felt like vomiting to him, and had that indignity compounded by being forced to give public lip service to Israel's right to self-defense against the bloodthirsty jihadists of Hamas, it's the antithesis of surprising that Lurch would revert to pacifistic, anti-Semitic form and also be dim-witted enough to be caught doing so near an open mic:

[Commissar] of State John Kerry appeared on all five Sunday morning network news shows this week, and was caught between programs doing some behind-the-scenes work.

To make all five shows, at least some of the interviews were pre-taped with Kerry in the same studio.
"Fox News Sunday" caught Kerry talking to a top aide by cellphone between interviews.

"It's a hell of a pinpoint operation. It's a hell of a pinpoint operation," Kerry said to the person on the phone.

"It's escalating significantly, and it just underscores the need for ceasefire," the person replied.

"We've got to get over there," Kerry told the person on the phone, then handed the phone to someone and told that person, "Thank you, John. I think, John, we ought to go tonight. It's crazy to be sitting around."

"Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace played the video of the conversation to Kerry and asked him, "When you said it's a hell of a pinpoint operation, are you upset that the Israelis are going too far?"



You know why so many people watch the Fox News Channel?  Journalism.  It's the only national outlet for what a free press is supposed to look like.  And to watch Obama Regime toadies be reduced to going "humina-humina-humina" on a regular basis.

"It's escalating significantly" means the Israel Army is invading Gaza and crushing Hamas.  That underscores the need to cheer wildly and celebrate lustily, not force a ceasefire that will spare Hamas and enable them to resume their wanton rocket and missile bombardment of Israeli cities.  If I wasn't still reasonably confident that these animals were pacifists I'd half suspect that "We've got to get over there" meant sending U.S. airstrikes against Israeli ground positions to drive them out of Gaza on Hamas's behalf.

After Mr. French's blundering into Chris Wallace's delectable on-camera ambush, the infamous Jen Psaki slithered out to remind us of her manifest loathsomeness:

State [Commissariat] spokeswoman Jen Psaki later issued a statement, telling the Washington Post, "Given the range of important global events we are not going to spend time litigating whether taping and playing [Commissar] Kerry's private conversation was consistent with acceptable protocol."
That roughly translates to, "Yeah, you caught him.  [BLEEP] Israel and [BLEEP] you!"  Kinda makes one wonder if the Obama Regime would try to trick the IAF into accidentally shooting down Kerry's plane if he did "get over there" again.  It's not like the Boston Balker isn't expendable.

Today it falls to Richard Pearle to state the blindingly obvious:

The escalating Israel-Palestine crisis illustrates the "real tragedy" of  the Obama administration's inability to both fully support Israel's right to defend itself and condemn Hamas for using Palestinian casualties to win political victories, American Enterprise Institute fellow Richard Perle said Friday.

The former chairman of the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board and former assistant secretary of defense told "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV the United States "mustn't play along" with Hamas' violent strategy."

The real tragedy here, at least with respect to American policy, is the apparent inability to say that not only do the Israelis have the right to defend themselves when they're attacked in this way, but [that] we have no sympathy for Hamas, which is undertaking these attacks."

The humane response of sympathy for the Palestinian casualties, Perle insists, "has the effect of encouraging Hamas to believe that it can win political victories."

The United States "plays along" with Hamas's "violent strategy" because the Obama Regime is pro-Hamas and anti-Israel. It isn't that the White House is unable to both fully support Israel's right to defend itself and condemn Hamas for using Palestinian casualties to win political victories; it's because they oppose Israel's right to defend itself and support Hamas using Palestinian casualties to win political victories. And, of course, kill more Jews. Just as John Kerry implicitly blurted on Fox News and Jan Psaki did not plausibly deny.

It isn't complicated, Mr. Pearle, once you stop giving the Anti-Semite-in-Chief the wholly undeserved benefit of the doubt of being an American president.

For the rest of us Americans, Prime Minister Netanyahu, let me say: "Qapla, and good hunting."
