Reply #8: I heard Kerry's speech before the anti-defamation league

[still_one]

and that is NOT the impression I received. Kerry strongly stated that bush ignored the Israelli/Palestiain situation, and he will actively pursue it, unlike the current administration.

Before 9/11 bush ignored everything. He did not continue where Clinton left off with the peace negotiations. Thanks to the dedicated work of Nader, the situation in Israel is now further apart than ever. We diverted resources from Afganistan to Iraq, which destroyed our war on terrorism.

What do you expect Kerry to say to the ADL? The Christian right and neo-cons have been trying to obtain Jewish support through fear and intimidation.

As far as your critisism of his statement, look what happened, Barrak offered 90% to Arafat, and he created the Infatadia, violated the agreement that the Palestinian schools would not teach hate, and did nothing about continued attacks on civillians in Israel. Arafat said one thing to the western press, and preached hate and insurection to the Palestinians. It was the reason Sharon won, and the radicalism took over in Israel.

There is still hope, but not if bush gets in. Kerry will restart negotiations, and it probably will be between Arafat and whoever is in the Israelli leadship, but if bush wins, I almost guarentee that it will get worse
