Note how the leader of Israel's main opposition party responded to Kerry's speech

?@HerzogMK
John Kerry has always been a great friend of Israel and will always be. His speech expresses true concerns about Israels wellbeing & future.

Important to remember that not everyone in Israel agrees with Netanyahu and the far-right.

Sadly with Trump in charge of the USA, and Bibi still PM of Israel (not to mention the Palestinian leadership) - there is little hope for peace.

electing Trump was ridiculous.
tearing up the Iran deal was ridiculous.
creating a registry for Muslims was ridiculous.
building a wall on the Mexican border was ridiculous.

Israel has the weapons, the US backing, and a complete disregard for the international community. Thats ridiculous.

US Muslims only serve as a convenient scape goat to Trump.

Palestinians stand in the way of Israel's one state by simply existing, do you think they'll all be willing to be shoved into neighboring countries peacefully? What will happen if they try to stop that?

He will continue to pursue the same policies he has been pursuing since he has been PM. He is not an unknown quantity like Trump. He has been PM for almost 8 years.

A large number of Israelis want a two state solution and peace with their Arab neighbors. Protests are a constant reality.
Obama is on the right side of history right to the end.

Israel is very divided on these issues; unfortunately The Unspeakable is determined to egg on the Far Right in Israel as in the USA and in Europe.

Good for Herzog! Wish he could get to be Prime Minister.
