World leaders were unanimous Wednesday in condemning the killing of Mohammad Abu Khdeir, a 16-year-old Palestinian who was most likely kidnapped and murdered in revenge for the death of three Israeli teens that were abducted and recently found dead in the West Bank.
In a series of posts on Twitter, National Security Adviser Susan Rice said the US is paying close attention to the investigation into the death of 17-year-old Mohammed Abu Khdeir. She also offered condolences to his family and the Palestinian people.
US Secretary of State John Kerry also condemned the murder, calling the act "sickening" and saying, "There are no words to convey adequately our condolences to the Palestinian people.
"Those who undertake acts of vengeance only destabilize an already explosive and emotional situation. The world has too often learned the hard way that violence only leads to more violence and at this tense and dangerous moment, all parties must to everything in their power to protect the innocent and act with reasonableness and restraint, not recrimination and retribution."

I have to say that one of the reasons that I didn't care much is that all the American Jews I know obviously don't care much about Israel. Some of them do, to be sure. But not many of them really see Israel as more important to them than, say, their fealty to the Rats.
Which always made it hard for me to care.
But now I do. Islam is really an existential threat, and America needs friends in this fight that is now inevitable.
There's no appeasing them. Any thought that giving the 'Slims "land for peace" or a "two state solution" is hopelessly naive.
Muslims can't compromise on this.
So it's a fight to the death. As with Communism.
Now, I don't think we're going about it right, but I sure want the friendship of a country like Israel that's been on the front lines all this time.
Interesting comment from the administration that said "they bring a knife, we bring a gun"
Maybe it would be different if the three teens that the Arabs murdered had been "Afro Americans"??
World leaders would be thrilled with the murder of every Israeli citizen on earth. While I do not condone what happened to those 3, or that one, I have to ask, where are these so called world leaders, when thousands are being killed on the streets of America, or the Sudan or Nigeria? I think their concern might be just a little misplaced.
Our tax dollars are being used to ferry this latest wave of illegals around in charter jets and buses...
The Pali’s likely killed this teen full knowing the world lapdogs would express outrage.
If the same world leaders condemned equally as energetically when the three Israelis were murdered, I managed to miss it.
Or perhaps it was not as widely reported?
“Our tax dollars are being used to ferry this latest wave of illegals around in charter jets and buses....”
Full of fun diseases, as well.
>> what was Obama’s statement on the discovery of the 3 murdered Jewish boys ?<<
One of those boys was also an American.
He doesn’t give a damn.
The deaths of American taxpayers by illegal aliens mean nothing to the “citizen of the world”, but a muslim kid’s death really grabs his attention.
But he’s not a muslim.
Just ask his media.
yep , like with Marine Sgt Andrew Tahmooressi
Make the country of origin pay for the costs of their illegal alien citizens here. All of em. Welfare, schools, medical, etc. You can bet Mexico and the rest would shut those borders down. Immediately.
Haven’t they more or less always been?
I believe that there is much to admire about Israel and Israelis. They are fierce warriors yet a gentle peace-loving nation - all the while surrounded by 7th century savages. I’m chagrined to see what horrible “friends” America has been to them.
Maybe 70-75% of them care more about their hatred and resentments than about their loves??
As a father he knows how they feel, blah blah blah. Most importantly, Israel must use restraint.
from the link:
“Hadas Shteif of Galei Tzahal reports there was a failed attempt last week to kidnap the boy’s 7 year old brother, and this appears to be a fight between clans, and related to family “honor”.”
This is a direct and intentional assault on the US middle class.
Being estranged from their religion, they therefore have little feeling for the holy land of Israel. They are ignorant of the extreme significance of the land of Israel to them, as Jews. They are ignorant of their responsibility to Israel, as Jews--"If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, may my right hand lose its cunning..."
They have little pride in being Jewish; mostly they seem to regard it as a social disadvantage. They have no idea of the beauty and majesty of their natal religion, which is a tragedy. They have no qualms about marrying out of the religion, or bringing into the world a new generation of non-Jews. As Esau traded his precious birthright for a lowly bowl of stew, they also place no value on that which is, in fact, priceless.
So you cannot lump all American Jews together. Assuredly, the Orthodox Jews are almost totally conservatives who despise Odumbo and who revere Israel, sending their sons and daughters there to study in religious schools. You can't care more about a country than sending your precious offspring there to study and to learn to love the land.
That was my initial reaction to the news.
Come on Bibi, nuke Iran alfreaken ready.
