Cruz Demands Kerry Resign for Bashing Israel

In response to a slew of critical comments by US Secretary of State John Kerry and his spokesman against Israel as it defends itself from a wave of Arab terror, Republican presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Friday demanded Kerry's immediate resignation.

Cruz's call comes in response to Kerry blaming the terrorism on "Israeli settlements" in an interview Tuesday, a statement his spokesperson John Kirby later tried to backtrack on.

Kirby himself had to issue a semi-retraction after falsely blaming the terrorism on Israel for changing the "status quo" on the Temple Mount on Wednesday, and likewise delegitimizing Israeli self-defense by claiming there are "credible reports" of Israeli "excessive force."

The State Department spokesperson also accused Israel of "terrorism," saying "individuals on both sides of this divide are - have proven capable of, and in our view, are guilty of acts of terrorism."

"Once again Sec. Kerry and his staff have proven themselves utterly unfit for the positions they hold,” Cruz told the Washington Free Beacon on Friday.

Is there biblical reference clearly stating that the world should defend Israel at all costs? There would be no United States until thousands of years after the bible was written,so no one can claim that we were specified to defend them.The bottom line is that we are militarily overwhelmed if we actually think we can address Israels problems along with everyone else's.There is an agenda in this country that has nothing to do with the will of the people.

Kerry is unfit to be Secretary of State, just as Hillary was, both BHO appointments.
