**The Netanyahu government’s witch-hunt against the “Right” continues:

The parents of Mordechai Meyer held an impassioned press conference in Ramat Gan yesterday in which they demanded that the Israeli government release their son.  Mordechai is an 18-year-old resident of Maale Adumim who was rounded up two days ago  “on suspicion of violent activities” and chucked into prison for six months with no indictment and no trial.

Mordechai’s father had this to say: “Last night there was a knock at the door; the police, showed us a warrant and took him for six months. They did not say a word about why, nothing, only that they were taking him to jail. We discovered that Israel can put an 18-year-old boy in prison for 6 months without formally charging him of anything. They had to find a scapegoat [for Duma] and our son was it.”

Accompanying the Meyers was their lawyer, Adi Keder, who harshly attacked the government: “This is a PR campaign under the auspices of the Defense Minister. The warrant he signed is not worth the paper it is written on. My client was arrested and interrogated in the most aggressive and violent way and the police found nothing. Putting him in jail for six months without trial is something obscene and unthinkable”.

Adi Keder is right. It is obscene and unthinkable.

TODAY’S BLOG:

The last 24 hours have seen Barack Obama and John Kerry descend further into the gutter to attack those who are against their Iranian Appeasement Deal.

In a speech at American University, Obama took naivete to a new high and partisanship to a new low:

“Just because Iranian hardliners chant ‘Death to America’ does not mean that that’s what all Iranians believe. In fact, it’s those In fact, it’s those hardliners who are most comfortable with the status quo. It’s those hardliners chanting “Death to America” who have been most opposed to the deal. They’re making common cause with the Republican Caucus.”

Hardliners? Death to America? “Death to America and “Death to Israel” are the chants repeatedly heard from the millions of Iranians continually marching in the streets of Tehran–as they burn American and Israeli flags. Obama would have us believe that we should not “really believe” that this is Iranians want. The problem is that Jews have learned the painful lesson over the millenia that what people say is usually what people do. Especially when they say they want to kill you.

Comparing the hardliners chanting “Death to America” to the Republicans because they oppose the Iranian deal truly is beyond the pale. And what, may we add, is the implication concerning Netanyahu and Israel who also oppose the deal? Are they also chanting “Death to America”?

But it was actually John Kerry who made comments yesterday that cause one to wonder at his intelligence and sanity (as if we didn’t already).

Here are three snippets from an interview he gave to Atlantic journalist Jeffrey Goldberg:

Snippet 1:

Goldberg: Do you believe that Iranian leaders sincerely seek the elimination of the Jewish state?

Kerry: I think they have a fundamental ideological confrontation with Israel at this particular moment. Whether or not that translates into active steps to, quote, “Wipe it,” you know…

Goldberg: Wipe it off the map.

Kerry: I don’t know the answer to that. I haven’t seen anything that says to me—they’ve got 80,000 rockets in Hezbollah pointed at Israel, and any number of choices could have been made. They didn’t make the bomb when they had enough material for 10 to 12. They’ve signed on to an agreement where they say they’ll never try and make one and we have a mechanism in place where we can prove that. So I don’t want to get locked into that debate. I think it’s a waste of time here.

[Isn’t this amazing? Death to Israel! and “Israel is a cancer” and “We will wipe Israel off the map” has now become–in Kerry’s Orwellian terminology–“a fundamental ideological confrontation with Israel at this particular moment.”

Note how Kerry defends Iran for not ordering Hezbollah to fire 80,000 rockets at Israel. Where was Kerry during the last Israel-Hezbollah war when Hezbollah, at Iranian urging, did fire thousands of rockets at Israel?  Why aren’t they firing them now? Because Israel laid waste to swaths of the Hezbollah neighborhood in Beirut and killed hundreds of Hezbollah terrorists back then. And let’s not forget that Hezbollah has now been sucked into, at Iran’s bidding, the quagmires known as Syria and Iraq.

But not only all of this, were you aware that according to American “intelligence”, Iran already has produced enough enriched uranium from its American-called “non-advanced” centrifuges to make 10-12 nuclear bombs?.

Amazing.

And how about this whopper: “They’ve signed on to an agreement where they say they’ll never try and make one “.

Talk about sheer unadulterated gullibility.

Snippet 2:

Kerry:  “. . . The ayatollah (Khamenei) constantly believed that we are untrustworthy, that you can’t negotiate with us, that we will screw them. This will be the ultimate screwing. We cut a deal, we stand up, it’s announced, five other countries believe in it—six other countries, because Iran signs off, and we’re the seventh—but you know, China, Russia, France, Germany, Britain, all sign off. Now the United States Congress will prove the ayatollah’s suspicion, and there’s no way he’s ever coming back. He will not come back to negotiate. Out of dignity, out of a suspicion that you can’t trust America. America is not going to negotiate in good faith. It didn’t negotiate in good faith now, would be his point.”

[What kind of amazingly twisted logic is this? The American people through its own Congress cannot oppose the deal because to do so will be the “ultimate screwing” of Khamenei. Never mind that the deal Kerry and Obama negotiated is a terrible one, the U.S. cannot be perceived as “screwing” Ayatollah Khamenei.

It boggles the mind.

Oh, and let’s not forget that should the Congress reject the deal, the great ayatollah will not return to the negotiating table because of his “dignity.”

Your humble servant is going to be sick.

Snippet 3: 

Goldberg: But does it bother you that (unfrozen Iranian) money will be going to Assad and Hezbollah?

Kerry: Yes, but it’s not dispositive. It’s not money that’s going to make a difference ultimately in what is happening. We have huge mechanisms by which we can push back and make the counter-difference. And the biggest, most important thing this is doing is that it is galvanizing a stronger, more defined security relationship between us and the Gulf states, and it will with Israel. We have countless ways to push back against those activities. And this will put to test whether or not Rouhani and Zarif are serious when they say they want a different relationship with the region.

Goldberg: Do you believe them?

Kerry: It’s not a question of whether I believe them.

[What in the world is Kerry talking about? It’s not “dispositive”? In other words, the unfrozen money that will flow from Iran to Hezbollah and Assad is unrelated to the issue at hand? Infinitely more weapons at the disposal of Iranian terrorists and Iranian proxy terrorists around the world will make “no difference” in what is happening?

And it’s not a question of whether Kerry believes Rouhani and Zarif?]

What kind of insane bubble is John Kerry living in?

Excuse me dear readers, but there is little left to say except that John Kerry belongs in the nearest looney farm.
