American student killed in 1 of 3 terror attacks in Israel during Biden visit

An American student from Vanderbilt University was stabbed to death in one of three bloody terror attacks that rocked Israel Tuesday, just as Vice President Biden arrived in Tel Aviv to meet with leaders.

The chancellor of Vanderbilt University, Nicholas S. Zeppos, identified the student as Taylor Force, who attended the Owen Graduate School of Management.

"Taylor embarked on this trip to expand his understanding of global entrepreneurship and also to share his insights and knowledge with start-ups in Israel," Zeppos said in a statement.

"He exemplified the spirit of discovery, learning and service. This horrific act of violence has robbed our Vanderbilt family of a young hopeful life and all of the bright promise that he held."

Palestinian attackers shot and stabbed a dozen policemen and civilians in separate assaults around Israel, continuing near-daily incidents that began in October. Two Israeli police officers and 10 civilians were wounded in the attacks and three Palestinian attackers were killed.

As if to underscore the continuing problem of Palestinian violence, a Palestinian opened fire at police near Jerusalem's Old City an hour before his plane touched down. One police officer was reportedly shot in the head in the attack, and another hurt as the assailant was killed.

Then, after Biden arrived in Tel Aviv, 10 Israelis were stabbed in the city's Jaffa port section. Biden was a few hundred meters from the attack.

The wife of the American student who died in the attack was one of five seriously injured.

In an attack in the town of Petah Tikva, the Israeli victim pulled the knife from his own neck and stab the Palestinian attacker.

It was the latest in a wave of Palestinian attacks that have killed 28 Israelis, mostly in shootings, stabbings and assaults with cars.

Biden was there to tell the Israelis they better give the ‘palestinians’ everything they want.

“Biden was there to tell the Israelis they better give the ‘palestinians’ everything they want.”

Biden: “ Ya know folks, I don’t speak Palistinian, but....”

Biden only steals speeches verbatim from British Labour leaders. He doesn’t understand anything else.

Next......

Has Barack made a comment about this poor kid or does he have the wrong skin color to merit a comment from our esteemed president?

IOW, by tomorrow, the Off-White House will be calling for restraint from both sides, followed by a condemnation of the Israeli victim's "disproportionate response".
