[John Kerry is fast losing control of his malice for the Jews and the
Jewish state. He is suffering from late-stage anti-Semitism from which there is
no turning back. Unlike the good people at the ECI, I don’t believe Obama will
rein him in or fire him. After all, Kerry is Obama’s sounding board. df]
Emergency Committee for Israel, April 28,

Today
the Emergency Committee for Israel released the following statement on Secretary
of State John Kerry's use of the term "apartheid state" to threaten Israel:
On
Friday, Secretary of State John Kerry raised the
specter of Israel as an "apartheid state." Even
Barack Obama condemned the use of this term when running for president in
2008.
Yet
this was no gaffe. Secretary Kerry's musings on the Jewish state's dire future
have become a regular feature of his public remarks. His latest prediction
follows other statements in recent months that have in effect threatened Israel
-- never the Palestinians -- with a list of disasters should his diplomatic
efforts fail: violence, isolation, delegitimization, boycotts -- and now
"apartheid."
It
is no longer enough for the White House to clean up after the messes John Kerry
has made. It is time for John Kerry to step down as Secretary of State, or for
President Obama to fire him. And it would go a long way toward repairing the
damage Kerry has done if his predecessor as Secretary of State, who is the
likely Democratic Party nominee for president, explained why this kind of
rhetoric had no place in her State Department and why it will have no place in
her presidential campaign.
