From Jon: "One for your 'Poor Israel Feature'.
John Kerry here:
"We ask them again not to upset the balance within the region with respect to Israel," Kerry added. "The weaponry that is being provided … has a profoundly negative impact on the balance of interests and the stability of the region and it does put Israel at risk. It is not, in our judgement, responsible because of the size of the weapons, the nature of the weapons and what it does to the region in terms of Israel's security, so we hope that they will refrain from that in the interests of making this peace conference work."
So a peace conference to try and stop the
bloodshed in Syria depends on whether or not nuclear armed Israel feels secure?
Is there anybody, ANYBODY on this planet that believes the United States
gives two hoots about the Syrian people?""We ask them again not to upset the balance within the region with respect to Israel," Kerry added.
