The
day after this was reported: “Why
France stood alone to scuttle Iran deal”
and “an
unprecedented confrontation” with US Secretary of State John Kerry in Tel Aviv,
John Kerry went on NBC’s Meet the Press, and said this:
John Kerry:
We are absolutely determined that
this would be a good deal or there would be no deal. Now that is why it is
hard, that is why we didn’t close the deal here in the last couple of days, because we are together, unified pushing for things that we believe provide the
guaranties that Israel and the rest of the world demand here but one thing is
here …
Now, what John Kerry did in the span of 10 hours happens in
1984 in midsentence, but it is eerily similar:
The
speech had been proceeding for perhaps twenty minutes when a messenger hurried
on to the platform and a scrap of paper was slipped into the speaker's hand. He
unrolled and read it without pausing in his speech. Nothing altered in his
voice or manner, or in the content of what he was saying, but suddenly the
names were different.
The orator, still gripping the neck of the microphone, his shoulders hunched forward, his free hand clawing at the air, had gone straight on with his speech. One minute more, and the feral roars of rage were again bursting from the crowd. The Hate continued exactly as before, except that the target had been changed.
The thing that impressed Winston in looking back was that the speaker had switched from one line to the other actually in midsentence, not only without a pause, but without even breaking the syntax.

So, just to summarize here – the Prime Minister of Israel
is supposed to trust the US Secretary of State whose statement about what had
been happening at the P5+1 negotiations with Iran in Geneva has absolutely no
connection to reality. Why did not David Gregory ask Kerry - how can you say something which is the exact opposite of what happened? There was no unity. France was against.
