Kerry blows his top

Kerry's rant, in particular, results from his extreme frustration. He came into the job, convinced by his boss Obama, that the power of oratory was foremost and would sway the Israelis & Arabs, as Obama had done to the Egyptian populace in Cairo. Obama acquired the Nobel prize, without any great effort or results and therefore, he, Kerry was entitled to expect the same.

And when Netanyahu refused to play ball - & reneged on the "deal" to release ALL the Palestinian convicted terrorists - that hurt, especially as the US eventually agreed to grant Israel a shed-full of money; hence the long pent-up frustration.
