Ted Cruz Goes For The Kill On John Kerry 'Israel Apartheid State' Dustup

"U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry released a statement in "support for Israel" Monday night, after a day of high-profile controversy surrounding his weekend warning that Israel may become an "apartheid state" if Israeli-Palestinian peace talks fall through.

"I have been around long enough to also know the power of words to create a misimpression, even when unintentional, and if I could rewind the tape, I would have chosen a different word to describe my firm belief that the only way in the long term to have a Jewish state and two nations and two peoples living side by side in peace and security is through a two state solution," Kerry said in the statement.

Kerry's original comment, made at a closed-door meeting of the Trilateral Commission last Friday, spawned a wave of denouncement Monday from various U.S. politicians, along with Jewish leaders and groups. Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor called on Kerry to apologize, and Sen. Ted Cruz, the freshman Republican from Texas, said Kerry should resign."* Ana Kasparian, Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show), Desi Doyen (Green News Report) and Dave Rubin (The Rubin Report) break it down.
