Kerry Warns Israel = Refusal to Negotiate = ‘An Apartheid State’
1998 Rome Statute defines “crime of apartheid” as “inhumane acts… committed in the context of an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any other racial group or groups and committed with the intention of maintaining that regime.” = System of racial segregation and oppression
US Secretary of State = Israel refuses peace soon = ‘an apartheid state’
“People grow so frustrated with their lot in life that they begin to take other choices and go to dark places they’ve been before, which forces confrontation.” — Kerry
Kerry = Jewish leaders in America = Attract unwanted attention
Kerry = Remarks to Trilateral Commission warned that a failure of Middle East peace talks = Resumption of violence
Kerry = Suggested changes in Israeli and/or Palestinian leadership = achieve peace
Kerry = Condemned Israeli settlement-building
Kerry = May unveil his own peace deal and tell both sides to “take it or leave it.”
“A two-state solution will be clearly underscored as the only real alternative. Because a unitary state winds up either being an apartheid state with second class citizens—or it ends up being a state that destroys the capacity of Israel to be a Jewish state. Once you put that frame in your mind, that reality, which is the bottom line, you understand how imperative it is to get to the two state solution, which both leaders, even yesterday, said they remain deeply committed to.”
— Kerry to senior officials from US + EU + Russia + Japan
President Jimmy Carter (2007) book Palestine: Peace or Apartheid.
Carter STATED = Israeli POOR treatment of Palestinians = apartheid policies in West Bank = “Apartheid is a word that is an accurate description of what has been going on in the West Bank, and it’s based on the desire or avarice of a minority of Israelis for Palestinian land.” — Carter
Israel’s leaders = Employed “Apartheid” (2010) Ehud Barak = “As long as in this territory west of the Jordan river there is only one political entity called Israel it is going to be either non-Jewish, or non-democratic. If this bloc of millions of Palestinians cannot vote, that will be an apartheid state.”
The secretary of state also implied, but did not say outright, that if the governments of Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu or Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas left power, there could be a change in the prospects for peace. If “there is a change of government or a change of heart,” Kerry said, “something will happen.”
Kerry criticized Israeli settlement construction as being unhelpful to the peace process and he also criticized Palestinian leaders for making statements that declined to recognize the right of Israel to exist as a Jewish state.
“There is a fundamental confrontation and it is over settlements. Fourteen thousand new settlement units announced since we began negotiations. It’s very difficult for any leader to deal under that cloud,” Kerry said.
“There’s a period here where there needs to be some regrouping. I don’t think it’s unhealthy for both of them to have to stare over the abyss and understand where the real tensions are and what the real critical decisions are that have to be made. Neither party is quite ready to make it at this point in time. That doesn’t mean they don’t have to make these decisions.”
— Kerry
Kerry = May publicly lay out a comprehensive US plan for a final “take it or leave it” agreement
