kidnapping Israelis and accept a cease fire

Israel even though Egypt offered a cease fire



Stephanopoulos: what else?



Kerry: it's true children in Gaza are being killed – war is ugly



Stephanopoulos: i've heard that



Kerry: but Hamas is causing all this



Stephanopoulos: so we should 
just take Hamas out?



Kerry: everyone has been trying to

talk sense into Hamas and no one

can get through to them



Stephanopoulos: they sound instransigent



Kerry: don't forget the kidnapping

and killing of Israeli teenagers



Stephanopoulos: ok



Kerry: basically Hamas needs

to stop being such assholes



Stephanopoulos: what about Israel's rockets?



Kerry: Bibi is just protecting 
the people of Israel



Stephanopoulos: right



Kerry: Hamas does not have the moral

high ground when they bomb the

people of Israel who are really very nice



Stephanopoulos: moving on – is Russia

responsible for the deaths of Malaysian flight?



Kerry: Russia arms and trains the

separatists and encourages them to kill



Stephanopoulos: go on



Kerry: the US tracked this missile

and it came from a Russian system

and the separatists bragged about it



Stephanopoulos: ooh snap



Kerry: then he deleted his tweet



Stephanopoulos: oops



Kerry: and now a bunch of drunken

separatists are stealing dead bodies



Stephanopoulos: what should

Putin do right now?



Kerry: call on the separatists to stop

being suck fucktards and act like

civilized human beings instead

of loutish thieving thugs



Stephanopoulos: I love it



Kerry: also stop sending them

weapons which kill civilians



Stephanopoulos: what will the US do now?



Kerry: we already imposed strong

sanctions and now we need Europe

to stop being such big babies and

get with the damn program



Stephanopoulos: John McCain says

the world now is worse than in WWII

and Obama should be killing more people



Kerry: I can't think of a time where the

U.S. has been more engaged and

more respected George



Stephanopoulos: thanks for coming



[ break ]



Stephanopoulos: welcome Bibi



Netanyahu: good morning



Stephanopoulos: you are killing

civilians in Gaza



Netanyahu: we regret that 
but it's all Hamas' fault 
– they kill Israelis



Stephanopoulos: I see



Netanyahu: Hamas targets civilians

and then hides behind civilians



Stephanopoulos: are you worried

that some people will call what

your are doing collective punishment



Netanyahu: we asked the 
people of Gaza to please leave



Stephanopoulos: where are 
they supposed to go?



Netanyahu: that's not an issue Stephy



Stephanopoulos: oh ok never mind then



Netanyahu: Hamas wants to 
see many civilians dead 
and we love all people



Stephanopoulos: all right



Netanyahu: Hamas are just 
like al-qaeda – they don't care 
about the people of Gaza 
at all unlike us – we just 
love the people of Gaza



Stephanopoulos: so why not just

take out Hamas completely?



Netanyahu: we pulled out of Gaza 
and they turned it into a Fortress of Terror



Stephanopoulos: is Israel willing

consider ending the blockade?



Netanyahu: what if 80% of America 
were under threat from guns?



Stephanopoulos: can't imagine



Netanyahu: we have accepted 
many cease-fires but Hamas 
doesn't care about human life
– we can't reward that



Stephanopoulos: right



Netanyahu: I want to thank 
Obama for giving us Iron Dome



Stephanopoulos: you're welcome Bibi



Netanyahu: Iran cannot be 
allowed to have a nuclear bomb!



Stephanopoulos: thanks for coming



[ break ]



Stephanopoulos: Ukraine says

the missile crew were Russian



Ross: we don't know exactly who pulled the trigger



Stephanopoulos: does it even matter?



Expert: not really – this is sophisticated

missile system only an expert could use it



Ross: the question is why did Obama

let Malaysia fly over that area?



Expert: this is a total escalation!



Stephanopoulos: can't they tell the

difference between a passenger jet

and a military plane?



Expert: no – they saw a blip 
and fired like assholes



Stephanopoulos: well I can't even
