Leno Zings Obama, Kerry at Israeli Event

At an event honoring former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Jay Leno mocked President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry over their lack of commitment to the Jewish State and bumbling of the Mideast peace process.

“Obama has declared the month of May Jewish American Heritage Month. He is calling it an opportunity to renew our ‘unbreakable bond with the nation of Israel,'” Leno said Thursday at an event honoring Michael Bloomberg. “And he knows it’s unbreakable because he’s been trying to break it for the last five years.” …

The former host of NBC’s “The Tonight Show” also made a joke at the expense of Secretary of State John Kerry, who recently walked back comments last month in which he said Israel risks becoming an “apartheid state.”

“I’ve been doing my research. According to the Central Bureau of Statistics, here in Israel, the most popular boy’s name is Noam. Noam is the most popular boy’s name in the country. The least popular boy’s name? John Kerry,” Leno joked.

Bloomberg received the Genesis Prize from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
