Ouch! Netanyahu Suggests Kerry 'Charmed' By Iranian Foreign Minister: Will MSM Notice?

March 3rd, 2015 12:53 PM

In today's speech, Benjamin Netanyahu took a not-so-subtle shot at John Kerry: will the MSM notice? The Israeli PM otherwise went out of his way to be bi-partisan,  finding ways to praise President Obama and even Harry Reid.  

But Kerry came in for a stinging swipe when Netanyahu said "last year, the same [Iranian foreign minister] Zarif, who charms Western diplomats, laid a wreath at the grave of Imad Mughniyeh. Imad Mughniyeh is the terrorist mastermind who spilled more American blood [at the Beirut Marine barracks bombing] than any other terrorist besides Osama bin Laden. I'd like to see someone ask him a question about that." Wonder just which Western diplomat Bibi had in mind, John?  And Netanyahu threw down the gauntlet: will Kerry dare raise the issue with Zarif next time he goes for a stroll with his little buddy?

How much will the MSM make of Netanhyahu's not-so-friendly shout out to Kerry?  We'll stay tuned!

BENJAMIN NETANYAHU: Now, two years ago we were told to give President Rouhani and foreign minister Zarif a chance to bring change and moderation to Iran. Some change. Some moderation. His government hangs gays, persecutes Christians, jails journalists, and executes even more prisoners than before. Last year, the same Zarif who charms Western diplomats laid a wreath at the grave of the terrorist mastermind who spilled more American blood than any other terrorist besides Osama bin Laden. I would like to see someone ask him a question about that.
