John Kerry, Enemy of Israel | National Review
W e know now that former secretary of state John Kerry isn t merely a critic of Israel; he is an adversary. In leaked audiotapes obtained by the U.K.-based Iran International, as reported by the New York Times, Iranian foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif told a supporter that the former secretary of state had informed him about at least 200 covert Israeli actions against Iranian interests in Syria. Zarif listened to this information in astonishment.
It s predictable, perhaps, that the Times glides over this remarkable exchange in a single-sentence paragraph that is submerged near the bottom of the piece. (I guess it s better than the Washington Post, which doesn t even mention the interaction.)
A high-ranking American official feels comfortable sharing this information with an autocratic adversary a government that s murdered hundreds of Americans, regularly kidnapped them, interfered with our elections, and propped up a regime that gasses its people about the covert actions of a long-time American ally. What else did he tell Zarif? The Times doesn t say.
