Respond to of 1580599 Compare these two--Obama attacks Israel and grovels for muslims Kerry warns Israel could become 'apartheid state' -- on Holocaust memorial day... ' By Robert Tait , Jerusalem 28 Apr 2014 telegraph.co.uk Israel risks evolving into an apartheid state if it fails to negotiate a two-state solution with the Palestinians to end the historic Jewish-Arab conflict, John Kerry, the US secretary of state has warned. The highly inflammatory remarks , which seemed certain to provoke an angry reaction from Israeli leaders, followed last week's near collapse of American-brokered peace talks, which Mr Kerry has energetically promoted. Speaking at a meeting of senior international figures last Friday, America's top diplomat said it was essential to pursue the two-state solution - commonly defined as Israel existing alongside a sovereign, independent Palestine - to avoid dire consequences. "A two-state solution will be clearly underscored as the only real alternative," said Mr Kerry, according to the Daily Beast, which broke the story. "Because a unitary state winds up either being an apartheid state with second class citizens - or it ends up being a state that destroys the capacity of Israel to be a Jewish state." His remarks were made during a closed-door session of the trilateral commission, which included senior US, Western European, Russian and Japanese officials. This is believed to be the first time a serving US official has used the term in an Israel context. The remarks were given added piquancy by being disclosed on the eve of Holocaust remembrance day, when Israel commemorates the deaths of six million Jews at the hands of the Nazis during the Second World War. Mr Kerry was speaking after Benjamin Netanyahu's government on Thursday suspended negotiations with the Palestinians in protest at a unity accord agreed between Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority, and the Islamist Hamas group, which Israel considers a terrorist organisation. The US secretary of state said he was considering imposing his own peace plan on the two parties on a take-it-or-leave-it basis. He also said a change of Israeli or Palestinian leadership could raise the chances of a negotiated agreement and criticised Israel for announcing 14,000 new settlers homes in the West Bank and East Jerusalem since peace talks began last July. It is not the first time Mr Kerry has made remarks that Israeli officials considered to be provocative. He was accused of paying lip-service to anti-Semitism when he warned in February of the dangers of a delegitimisation campaign that included calls for an economic boycott of Israel. Last November, Israeli officials hit out angrily after he referred to the dangers of a third Palestinian intifada [uprising] in the absence of a peace agreement. · John Kerry labelled 'anti Semite' for warning of Israel boycott 02 Feb 2014 .......................................................................................................................................................................................
