Seriously ... what the fuck happened to John Kerry?

To think I deeply respected this guy. He had a backbone, and the courage to speak to the facts publicly.

I thought he would've made a great President.

Then there's this - http://consortiumnews.com/2014/04/29/kerry-grovels-over-israeli-apartheid/

Even within this, Kerry was initially very accurate, only to back-pedal and grovel -

"It is a mark of how upside-down Official Washington has become over facts and evidence that Secretary of State John Kerry, who has developed a reputation for making false and misleading statements about Syria and Russia, rushes to apologize when he speaks the truth about the danger from Israeli “apartheid.”

After public disclosure that he had said in a closed-door meeting of the Trilateral Commission last week that Israel risked becoming an “apartheid state,” Kerry hastily apologized for his transgression, expressing his undying support for Israel and engaging in self-flagellation over his word choice."

...

"But apartheid already is a feature of Israeli society. As former CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar wrote in 2012, “the Israeli version of apartheid is very similar in important respects to the South African version, and that moral equivalence ought to follow from empirical equivalence. Both versions have included grand apartheid, meaning the denial of basic political rights, and petty apartheid, which is the maintaining of separate and very unequal facilities and opportunities in countless aspects of daily life."
