Secretary John Kerry
"What do the allegation of 'apartheid Israel' and Yom Hashoah, the annual commemoration of the Holocaust, have in common? The former is the modern face of anti-Semitism. The latter is the reminder that anti-Semitism begets violence, horrible violence – crimes against humanity. So when Secretary of State John Kerry suggested on April 25, 2014 just prior to Yom Hashoah, that Israel is on the verge of becoming an 'apartheid state,' it was more than a libel. It was dangerous....First, he connected Israel to apartheid and then he referred to Palestinian violence as an understandable response. As reported in the Daily Beast, he said: 'People grow so frustrated with their lot in life that they begin to take other choices and go to dark places they've been before, which forces confrontation.' This is not the first time Kerry has made such a move. Back in November 2013 he goaded: 'Does Israel want a third intifada?'... Except the truth is, Palestinians do not reject anti-Semitism but act to promote it. And a U.S. Secretary of State who magnifies the lie of Israeli racism, and rationalizes violence against the Jewish state, is unfit for the job."
