I fail to see why Netanyahu would buckle from any of Lurch’s threats, Hari-Kerry is a leftist boob, and all of his mutterings have to be viewed under that rubric.
Former MK Eldad Criticizes ‘Spineless’ Right
By Elad Benari
Former MK Professor Aryeh Eldad, chairman of the Professors for a Strong Israel organization, on Sunday slammed the Yesha Council and the Jewish Home party for their “spineless behavior”.
Prof. Eldad said that both were “afraid” of standing up to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and were only attacking U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry over his threats of boycotts against Israel should peace talks fail.
He pointed out that Kerry’s threats would be meaningless if the Israeli government were to stand up to them.
“Secretary of State Kerry stopped smiling and took out the axe, not that he, G-d forbid, is threatening to boycott. He is only predicting boycotts and sanctions. A meteorologist, not a statesman,” said Eldad sarcastically. “I do not have too much criticism against him and I’m not dealing with the question of whether he is an anti-Semite or he simply doesn’t like us.”
“My problem is with the leaders of the Jewish Home, who last week organized a prayer rally and cried at the Western Wall to cancel Kerry’s decrees, as though he is the squire and we are the poor Jews in town who have nothing to do except to pray,” he added, criticizing leaders on the right for failing to direct their criticism at Netanyahu.
“Maybe they have forgotten but it is for this reason that we have established an independent state. And even if it is unpleasant and even if they threaten us with sanctions – a government with a backbone can just say no and get the U.S. Congress to stop Kerry. This is possible if we do not frighten ourselves to death,” charged Eldad.
