Excerpts from: Kerry Says Lack of Israeli-PA Peace Fuels Islamic Terror Recruitment (Tzvi Ben-Gedalyahu 10-17-14)

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told Muslims at a  reception in honor of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha  Thursday night that the absence of peace between Israel and the Palestinian Authority is “a cause of recruitment and of street anger and agitation."And that the anger “has something to do with humiliation and denial and absence of dignity.”

THIS IS NOT SATIRE. This is real. This is actually what was declared by Kerry, former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and now the Secretary of State of the United States of America.

The Muslim holiday reception was hosted by Shaarik Zafar, whom Kerry appointed last month as Special Representative to Muslim Communities. That was just after the Islamic State ISIS murderers hanged its first American victim, journalist James Foley. Kerry’s response at the installation ceremony of Zafar was, "The real face of Islam is a peaceful religion based on the dignity of all human beings.”

Kerry's  premise places the finger of blame for Muslim violence at the doorstep of Israel. The Obama administration idid not explicitly single out Israel for the failure of talks but simply said  so in a twisted way by damning every one of nearly 350,000 Jews in Jerusalem neighborhoods as “illegitimate’ and “illegal,” just like an equal number in Judea and Samaria.

Kerry began his speech by praising the “terrific $5.4 billion” raised in Cairo this week to rebuild Gaza. He did not mention that Hamas, which runs Gaza, has not agreed to disarm and has actually bragged that it is continuing to manufacture rockets to restore the stockpile lose in the recent war.

The key word used by Kerry “negotiations,” a term which Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas has successfully turned into “ultimatum.”

 Kerry said last night, “It is imperative that we find a way to get back to the negotiations for what everybody knows is, in the end, the only way to go forward that makes sense.”

And that is where his “Special Representative to Muslim Communities comes into play.

“We have the first faith-based office,” Kerry stated. “We have the office reaching out to the Islamic world. “What we’re really doing as we… celebrate Eid al-Adha is that we are celebrating sort of the meaning and importance of sacrifice and devotion in our lives,” …, “It’s a very complex time… The extremism that we see, the radical exploitation of religion which is translated into violence, has no basis in any of the real religions. There’s nothing Islamic about what ISIL/Daesh stands for or is doing to people.”

“When you have 65 percent of a country, as you do in many countries in the Middle East or South Central Asia or elsewhere, in north Horn of Africa, that are under the age of 35… and 50 percent under the age of 25, you are going to have a governance problem unless your governance is really addressing the demands and needs of that part of the population.”

This is the reason for the chaos in Syria, according to Kerry.

“As I went around and met with people in the course of our discussions about the ISIL coalition, the truth is we – there wasn’t a leader I met with in the region who didn’t raise with me spontaneously the need to try to get peace between Israel and the Palestinians, BECAUSE IT WAS A CAUSE OF RECRUITMENT AND OF STREET ANGER AND AGITATION THAT THEY FELT – and I see a lot of heads nodding – they had to respond to. And people need to understand the connection of that. And it has something to do with humiliation and denial and absence of dignity, and Eid celebrates the opposite of all of that….

“What’s happening in Iraq is an interesting beginning of that, where Daesh has kind of drawn a line and made people stop and think, and Sunni and Shia are beginning to realize there’s a common problem out there and there is a way to try to work together.”

ISIS, (or ISIL as the Obama administration terms  it), gives Kerry another opportunity  to ignore the  incredibly complex thought that radical Islamic theology is the root of radical Islamic violence.
