BREAKING: The Obama “Response” to the Terrorists Who Murdered an American Baby is Revolting
Earlier this week, the media rightfully spent a great deal of time talking about the recent convert to radical Islam who opened fire in the Canadian Parliament building.However, the media virtually ignored a terrorist attack that occurred at about the same time in Israel, that ultimately took the life of an American-Israeli child.
A member of Hamas drove a car through a crowd of innocent civilians near a bus stop in Jerusalem, injuring many and killing a young child that was an American citizen.
The Jewish Press is pointing out the distinct differences in the official statements by the Obama administration regarding the two separate terrorist attacks.
In response to the terror attack in Canada, Secretary of State John Kerry personally made a statement, expressing solidarity with our neighbor and ally.
“We condemn today’s heinous and evil attacks in Ottawa, seemingly aimed at the heart of the federal government itself. The United States has faced this kind of violence firsthand on our own soil, and we grieve with Canada, seared by the memory of our own painful experiences,” Kerry stated.
Kerry added, “We will continue to work closely with our Canadian colleagues to ensure the safety of all our people, and together to counter violent extremism in North America and elsewhere around the world.”
John Kerry even took the time to pick up the phone and call the Canadian Foreign Minister, “to express our deepest condolences on this tragic day, and to pledge the full support of the United States to Canada as it works to determine the facts and to hold those accountable responsible.”
One would assume that a similar statement was also released in regards to the terror attack in Israel, but one would be wrong.
John Kerry couldn’t be bothered to say anything about the attack in Israel, so he left it for State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki to handle.
Psaki stated, “The United States condemns in the strongest possible terms today’s terrorist attack in Jerusalem. We express our deepest condolences to the family of the baby, reportedly an American citizen, who was killed in this despicable attack, and extend our prayers for a full recovery to those injured.”
“We urge all sides to maintain calm and avoid escalating tensions in the wake of this incident.”
At least Psaki said that the attack in Israel was a “terrorist” attack, which is actually more than Kerry would admit regarding the attack in Canada, which he referred to as “heinous”, “evil”, and “violent extremism”…but not terrorism.
However, there were no expressions of solidarity with Israel, like there was for Canada, and there were no assurances that America would stand in “full support” with Israel to “hold those accountable responsible” for the attack.
Likewise, Canada was not cautioned to “maintain calm” or “avoid escalating tensions” in the wake of the attack.
These certainly appear to be two completely different, and revealing, responses to terrorist attacks that were perpetrated on two of our closest allies.
Please share this on Facebook and Twitter if you see right through the barely hidden bias against Israel on the part of the Obama administration.
