Kerry's speech, though true, is meaningless now and sounds like sour grapes.

Like every president before him, Obama pampered the Israelis and enabled their destructive policies. He did it to maintain his own hold on power by appealing to the fundamentalist Christians in his own country. (US Fundamentalist Christians are even more supportive of Israel's West Bank settlements than are American Jews.)

Obama gets no points from me for speaking up when it takes no courage to do so.
