    • What ever senator John Kerry ''believes'', then I'm against it, that is after I'm for it, which depends on if it is necessary to change my decision from being for it to against it in order to be for it at a more convenient time...

      Senator Kerry on the Middle East conflict:

      I think we have to recognise our responsibility here. We and only we have the ability to bring certain parties together, to resolve certain issues, to leverage certain outcomes, to broker certain agreements, to ultimately sign off on modalities particularly when it regards the long term security of Israel. One of the possibilities here obviously is America’s extension of its deterrent capacity with respect to Iran and other malefactors and Israel’s long term security. So there are a lot of options there and we have a key role.

      Certainly if you talk about the transition to an adequate security structure where Israel can be confident, I totally feel that Israel has to be confident it is going to be safe. That’s a perfectly normal and legitimate concern. Nothing that we do should be less than totally sensitive to those security concerns, but I believe we can be.

      I believe you can work out a two state solution with demilitarisation, with adequate verification, with adequate buffers and it may even involve some kind of force on the ground, in the buffer zone, as a security backup somehow, there are all kinds of modalities that are possible. It is true, I want to emphasise this, it is absolutely true.. that ultimately Israel and Palestine have to agree and they are the indispensable central parties to that agreement, but we are the indispensable convenor and mediator in reaching that agreement.
