re: #158 Killgore Trout

as mentioned I #5 I’m not personally offended but it would be an easy guess that the Israelis would be offended. Obama and Kerry are not stupid so I assume offending the Israelis was an intended effect. Maybe it’s a brilliant diplomatic move to coerce the Israelis into doing something but I don’t see it. It just looks like needlessly bad diplomacy to me.

Weird, because all the outraged squawking I’ve been hearing has been coming from politicians and advocacy groups stateside. Did I miss some big story where one of the key players in Israel flipped a desk and stomped out of the room in a fit of high dudgeon over Kerry’s comment?
