    John Kerry blasts Mahmoud Abbas. 'Comments wrong and unacceptable'

    Former Secretary of State John Kerry condemned Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas for blaming the Jewish people for the Holocaust.

    "These comments are wrong, ugly, and unacceptable - anywhere from anyone - but particularly from anyone who says he wants to be a peacemaker. No excuses for antisemitism: words to be condemned, not explained away," tweeted Kerry.
