Attorney Yoram Sheftel called US Secretary of State John Kerry "the enemy" of Israel in a weekly interview with Arutz Sheva on Saturday night, relating to the clash last week between Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon and the US State Department.
"Even if Ya'alon did not do anything else in his life but say what he did, we will remember him for generations to come," Sheftel stated.
"Even though he made the statements in private messages to Yediot Aharonot, and they crossed all the lines to use it to harm the State of Israel, what [Ya'alon] said was true - and even articulated well," Sheftel claimed.
Ya'alon was quoted as saying that "Secretary of State John Kerry who came here very determined, and operates based upon an unfathomable obsession and a messianic feeling cannot teach me anything about the Palestinians."
"I live and breathe the conflict with the Palestinians, I know what they think, what they want and what they really mean," he continued. "The American security plan that was presented to us is not worth the paper it was written on."

The world can no more go forward by letting guys like that lead the conversation than by letting Limbaugh lead. They are dead ends - spectacular in their flame-outs, but that's about it.
