Congressman: Remove Kerry From Office
‘Our secretary of state has effectively cursed Israel’
WND
WASHINGTON – In a speech on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, blasted Secretary of State John Kerry for saying that Jewish people of Israel are risking guilt for the crime of apartheid by not agreeing to Kerry’s two-state solution.
In the heated speech, Gohmert said Kerry should “stand down or be removed from office” because he “stands for those who support Israel’s destruction.”
“It is Israel that has fought against such racism and hatred. He said that about Israeli Jews who the U.N. unanimously provided a nation after the worst genocide in world history. Secretary Kerry is ignorant of both history and the offense of apartheid. Our secretary of state has effectively cursed Israel,” said Gohmert, the vice chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security.
Gohmert cited history to illustrate his point that Jewish Israelis fight against racism and hatred.
“It is not Israel who sent suicide bombers against Palestinians, nor denied the right of Palestinians to work in Israel. It was not Israel who advocated for completely wiping others off the map nor taught children in their textbooks to vilely hate others as rats and vermin. It was not Israel who named landmarks and holidays for murderers using suicide bombs to kill innocents nor launched rockets every day hoping to terrorize and kill innocent people,” he said.
In an unprecedented move, Kerry issued a statement Monday expressing regret for the politically charged statement he made during a meeting with influential world leaders.
That came Friday where he cited a 30-year history of “walking the walk when it came time to vote and fight.”
“As Secretary of State, I have spent countless hours working with Prime Minister Netanyahu and Justice Minister Livni because I believe in the kind of future that Israel not only wants, but Israel deserves. I want to see a two-state solution that results in a secure Jewish state and a prosperous Palestinian state, and I’ve actually worked for it,” Kerry said in his statement.
He had been talking to a closed meeting of the Trilateral Commission in Washington when he said Israel risked becoming an “apartheid state” with two classes of citizens because officials didn’t do what he wanted.
Kerry seemed to blame partisan politics for his apartheid comments but in the same breath said he wished he “would have chosen a different word” when describing his desire for “two people to live side by side in peace and security through a two-state solution.”
“I will not allow my commitment to Israel to be questioned by anyone, particularly for partisan, political purposes, so I want to be crystal clear about what I believe and what I don’t believe,” Kerry explained about his trouble-making statement. “First, Israel is a vibrant democracy and I do not believe, nor have I ever stated, publicly or privately, that Israel is an apartheid state or that it intends to become one. Anyone who knows anything about me knows that without a shred of doubt.”

Most Swift boat veterans would like nothing better than to support one of our own for America’s highest office, regardless of whether he was running as a Democrat or a Republican. However, Kerry’s exaggerated claims about his own service in Vietnam, and his deliberate misrepresentation of the nature and effectiveness of Swift boat operations compel us to step forward.
