Kerry Will “Put More Pressure on Israel”

Published



LAST FRIDAY, Charles Krauthammer argued in his column, Sacrificing Israel, that the currency with which a Kerry administration “would pay the rest of the world in exchange for their support . . . is obvious: giving in to them on Israel.” Krauthammer pointed out that Kerry has emphasized over and over again his desire to move closer to our allies and to re-engage with the “international community.” The easiest way to do this would surely be to accommodate other nations’ distinctively less friendly view of Israel, and their desire for the U.S. to pressure Israel into concessions for the sake of the “peace process.” So, Krauthammer concluded, “If Kerry is elected, the pressure on Israel will begin on day one.”
