Anti-Israel bias still evident in Kerry’s speech

We listened to Secretary of State John Kerry lecture on and on about illegal this and illegal that. I am old enough to remember 1948, when the United Nations created two states, Israel and a Palestinian state.

I also remember that Jordan immediately annexed the Palestinian state and it was not challenged by anyone.

Is this not an illegal land grab? Did the nations of the world rise up in anger? Guess it really is a one-way street for Israel.

Ted Cohen, Conway
