Kerry's Flip Flops Leave Key Questions Unanswered
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Republican Jewish Coalition says Senator John Kerry failed to answer three critical questions during Thursday's foreign policy debate with President Bush. ·Senator Kerry said Israel's Security Barrier, designed to protect civilians from murdering terrorists, was "a barrier to peace" on 10/17/03 when speaking to the Arab American Institute. On 2/25/04, he flip-flopped saying it was "a legitimate act of self-defense." With terrorist attacks continuing against Israel, the RJC asks Senator Kerry if he is for or against Israel's Security Barrier?
·Senator Kerry called Yasser Arafat a "statesman" and a "role model" in his 1997 book, The New War, which Kerry referred to in Thursday's debate. Last March, Kerry flip-flopped and said he agreed with President Bush that Arafat should be isolated because he is not "a partner for peace." With Arafat continuing to launch terrorist attacks against Israel, the RJC asks Senator Kerry if he believes Arafat is a terrorist or was he wrong in calling Arafat a statesman?
·Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was paying $25,000 rewards to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers, had attacked Israel with Scud missiles, and used deadly chemical weapons on his own people. Senator Kerry, who voted to authorize the war and against supplying our troops in combat, has flip-flopped repeatedly on whether President Bush was right to remove Saddam from power. The RJC asks Senator Kerry if he supports or opposes removing Saddam Hussein from power?
"These are all questions of critical importance to America and the Jewish community," said RJC Executive Director Matthew Brooks, "yet we still don't know Senator Kerry's real position, or if he has a real position on these and many other key issues.
"John Kerry has been consistently inconsistent in this campaign and in his 20 years in the U.S. Senate," Brooks said. "The RJC hopes Senator Kerry will stop debating himself and will level with the American people about where he stands on the most important issues we face."
