If talks fail, for Israel, the demographic dynamic will make it impossible to preserve its future as a democratic Jewish state...will lead to a deteriorating security environment and growing isolation that can put economic prosperity at risk...
Yep, that sounds like a threat to me.
(keeping in mind that Kerry is married to an "old money" globalist, Teresa Heinz. But the Kerry family has some major wealth too through the Forbes/Winthrop family)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_KerryJohn Forbes Kerry was born on December 11, 1943 in Aurora, Colorado, at Fitzsimons Army Hospital to Foreign Service Officer/attorney Richard John Kerry (1915–2000) and World War II nurse Rosemary Isabel Forbes (1913–2002) of the Forbes family and Dudley–Winthrop family. Rosemary was born in Paris, France, to American parents. Kerry has two sisters, Diana (born in 1947) and Margaret (aka Peggy; born in 1941), and a brother, Cameron (born in 1950). Cameron Kerry is the General Counsel of the US Department of Commerce.[1] His father was a member of the Army Air Corps at the time.[2]...
...One of Kerry's maternal great-great-grandfathers was Robert Charles Winthrop, the 22nd Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. The first governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony John Winthrop is a direct Kerry forebear.[56] Kerry is also a descendant of other prominent American colonial ancestors, including Thomas Cornell (settler) and Joris/George Woolsey.[57] He is also a descendant of Thomas Dudley through his maternal grandmother Margaret Winthrop.
Kerry was raised as a Roman Catholic by his Catholic father and Episcopalian mother.[58] As a child, Kerry served as an altar boy. Although the extended family enjoyed a great fortune, Kerry's parents themselves were upper-middle class; a wealthy great aunt paid for Kerry to attend elite schools in Europe and New England. Kerry spent his summers at the Forbes family estate in Brittany, and there, he enjoyed a more opulent lifestyle than he had previously known in Massachusetts.[citation needed]
It was discovered in 2003 by Felix Gundacker, a genealogist[59] working with The Boston Globe, that Kerry's paternal grandparents, who had been born Jewish, as "Fritz Kohn" and "Ida Lowe", in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, changed their names to "Frederick and Ida Kerry" from "Kohn" in 1900 and converted from Judaism to Roman Catholicism in 1901[60][61] or 1902.[62] Fritz' elder brother Otto had earlier, in 1887[61] or 1896,[59] also embraced Catholicism. The "Kerry" name, widely misinterpreted as indicative of Irish heritage, was reputedly selected arbitrarily: "According to family legend, Fritz and another family member opened an atlas at random and dropped a pencil on a map. It fell on County Kerry in Ireland, and thus a name was chosen."[60][62] Leaving their hometown Mödling, a suburb of Vienna where they had lived since 1896, Fred and Ida, together with their son Eric, emigrated to the United States in 1905, living at first in Chicago and eventually moving to Brookline, Massachusetts, by 1915...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosemary_Forbes_KerryRosemary was also the mother of another son, Cameron, who is General Counsel of the U.S. Department of Commerce, and was formerly a Boston lawyer, an adjunct law professor at Suffolk Law School and a convert to Judaism; and two daughters, Diana and Margaret Peggy
So John's brother is a convert to Judaism, eh? Bet that makes things a bit testy these days in the Kerry household.
