Statement from John Kerry on Anti-Semitic Statements by Saudi Government Officials

LOS ANGELES, May 5 [U.S. Newswire] — Today Democratic Candidate for President John Kerry issued the following statement on anti-Semitic statements by Saudi government officials:

David Irving comments:

KERRY sinks ever lower in our esteem; is it really impossible now for some other suitable candidate to step forward? Kerry now joins the ranks of those who automatically equate opposition to Zionism with “anti-Semitism.”
The fact is: He knows as little as we do about who is really behind such “terrorist outrages”.
It may indeed be al-Qaeda, or it may be people with much to gain from such global unrest. Hence, it may be the Zionists.
Kerry’s is a knee-jerk reaction, from which the only clear message to emerge is that, if elected, he will be totally beholden to the Israeli lobby — which will mean more of the same for the American taxpayer, and for the image of Americans in the rest of the world.

“Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Abdullah‘s outrageous anti-Semitic comments this week blaming ‘Zionists’ for the terrorist attacks in Saudi Arabia raises serious questions about the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s commitment to combating terrorism.

“President Bush has said nothing. As President, I will never permit this kind of attack to go unanswered.”
