Kerry Urges Israelis Not To Defend Themselves From Relentless Terror Attacks
Kerry Urges Israelis Not To Defend Themselves From Relentless Terror Attacks
Secretary of State John Kerry told reporters today that Israel has a right to defend itself, but discouraged against “self-help” responses to random stabbing attacks from Palestinians.
Israeli authorities have encouraged citizens with gun permits to carry when they’re out and about, as they can possibly stop an attacker before police can get on the scene.
Israel Army Radio reported today that the internal security ministry phone service “collapsed” from citizens inundating the ministry with gun permit requests. They’ve doubled the number of workers at the ministry to field the requests.
Appearing at a press conference in Madrid with his Spanish counterpart, Kerry again used the recent spate of violence in Jerusalem to call for a two-state solution.
“Security and diplomacy go hand in hand. There is not a time for one and then the other, really there is an importance to both. We want to see calm restored and we want to see the violence stop. And I think everybody in Israel and in the region would like to see both of those things happen,” Kerry said.
“We continue to urge everybody to exercise restraint and restrain from any kind of self-help in terms of the violence, and Israel has every right in the world to protect its citizens, as it has been, from random acts of violence. But in my conversations with the prime minister, as well as with King Abdullah and the foreign minister of Jordan, they have expressed the desire to try to see this process be able to find a way of making certain that everybody is clear about what is happening with respect to the Temple Mount.”
Wild Thing's comment...........
So Kerry thinks Israeli citizens should not defend themselves but wait for the police or military to show up when someone is trying to cut their throats. Perhaps he should go to Israel and walk around without his ARMED SECURITY. Kerry is an arrogant, egotistical fool.

Kerry's an A-Hole who also believes that American Citizens don't have a right to defend themselves.
You would think owning a gun in Israel would be easy for a Israeli Citizen but it isn't.
