john-kerrySecretary of State John Kerry’s brother took the unusual step of writing an op-ed defending him against accusations by some Israeli politicians of being anti-Semitic, reports Arutz Sheva. Cameron Kerry, who converted to Judaism, wrote in the Israeli newspaper Yediot Achronot that “such charges would be ridiculous if they weren’t so vile.”

In Cameron Kerry’s op-ed, which appeared in Sunday’s edition of Yediot and was translated into English on the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv’s Facebook page, he detailed this family’s own experience with anti-Semitism.

“At Terezin, I walked along the banks of Ohre River and joined other members of our temple in saying Kaddish at the place where the Nazis poured out the cremated remains of some 22,000 inmates who died at Terezin. These presumably included the remains of my paternal great-uncle Otto Lowe, who died at Terezin in 1942. He, along with his sister Jenni, was transported to Terezin in 1942. Jenni was soon sent to die at Treblinka.”

He noted that the grandfather, Frederick Kerry, was born Fritz Kohn in Czechoslovakia and, upon emigrating to America and joining the military changed his name and converted to Catholicism because of anti-Semitism in the army’s ranks. “All this is part of my brother John Kerry’s DNA,” Cameron wrote.

“I recall when he came home from his first visit to Israel with friends from the Boston Jewish community, more than thirty years ago as a young senator: he spoke vividly of flying an Israeli military jet over the country and realizing how it was possible to cross the country in a matter of moments. Today, his determined work on Middle East peace is informed by an abiding sense of the need to secure Israel as a home for the Jewish people.

“It is this deep involvement that has led to the conviction that Israel’s long-term security requires a two-state solution – that, in the face of the inexorable forces of security, demographics, and geography, Israel cannot sustain occupation of the West Bank and remain both democratic and Jewish.”

  1. Kerry is not an anti-Semite. He is a friend to the future only however if he gets his way. That means he has a little smart egg in his refrigerator which he likes to smile at once in a while. It is not always a smile he is looking for however. He wants an egg to perform magic. And he will smile himself if the Egg pulls a rabbit out of a hat. That is Kerry. Not an anti-Semite, but not a favorite patriot of true human worth either. Pity.

  2. Go sell it to the marines. John Kerry, like his boss and Hillary are only concerned about one thing…..and that is themselves. May all their plans fail.

  3. Words are cheap. Kerry’s actions speak louder than his brother’s words. Kerry’s anti-israel bias is clear, certainly combined with his boss’s. His brother’s bla-bla is worthless. Let’s not be fooled. Kerry is looking for tge destruction of Israel.

  4. “the inexorable forces of security, demographics, and geography”

    What?

    Yidden and Eretz Yisroel are lemaaloh min hateva. Hashem can do anything.

  5. The biggest destroyers comes from the Jews…anti-Semite, not anti-Semite, Kerry’s tactics are putting millions of Jewish lives at risk….

  6. It makes no difference whether Kerry is or is not a card-carrying anti-Semite. The fact is that he buys into and uses anti-Semitic canards and imagery, and is pressuring Israel to agree to suicidal terms of negotations with the PA.

  7. changed his name and converted to Catholicism because of anti-Semitism in the army’s ranks.
    “All this is part of my brother John Kerry’s DNA,”

    Couldn’t have said it better!
