John Kerry actually said...

"the United States should stand for something. We carry weight. We are a major power, and yet our diplomacy sometimes doesn't conduct itself as a major power."

"I have heard--in Pakistan, in Afghanistan, in Sudan, in other parts of the world--the constant drumbeat of the way the Palestinians are treated, and of Israel-Palestine relations."

"So, we all must encourage Palestinians in this peace effort, and that's why the Arab League decision was really so significant."

"There are two critical populations which have essentially been excluded from the peace process but whose views are critical for the process's success."
