Israel is under fire, as Palestinians are torching holy sites and engaged in a guerilla warfare campaign targeting Israeli citizens for stabbings. Dozens of Israelis have died as a result. Predicltably, the Obama Administration has blamed Israel for its expansion of settlements. In response to this, Cruz issued a statement of his own:
Kerry blamed so-called Israeli “settlement” growth for the violence, while State Department spokesman John Kirby accused Israel of committing “terrorism.”
The comments sparked outrage among pro-Israel observers and prompted Cruz to demand that Kerry accept responsibility for the remarks and resign.
“Once again Sec. Kerry and his staff have proven themselves utterly unfit for the positions they hold,” Cruz told the Washington Free Beacon. “Mr. Kirby should immediately retract his offensive assertion that Israel is ‘guilty of acts of terror’ or resign, and Secretary Kerry should immediately disavow these remarks or resign.”
Kerry and Obama have been known to seek piece at all costs, on the terms offered by our former enemies, and this is no different. Whatever Israel’s perceived sins, there should be no accommodation of people who resort to violence against civilians. By handing a free pass to Iran, they’ve sent a message to our enemies, and now Israel is suffering as a result.
