Washington – The United States once again condemned ongoing violence in Israel on Tuesday, after twin attacks by Palestinians took the lives of three Israelis and maimed at least 20 others.

Since October 1, seven Israelis have been killed and dozens more have been injured in 26 separate attacks across Israel and the Palestinian territories. According to Palestinian reports, 27 Palestinians– including nine alleged attackers– have also died.
“The United States condemns in the strongest terms today’s terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians, which resulted in the murder of three Israelis and left numerous others wounded. We mourn any loss of innocent life, Israeli or Palestinian,” State Department spokesman John Kirby said in a statement. “We continue to stress the importance of condemning violence and combating incitement.”
Over the weekend, US Secretary of State John Kerry offered American help in calls with both Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
Netanyahu has repeatedly blamed Abbas for inciting Palestinians to violence, while Abbas claims that Netanyahu seeks to change status quo arrangements on the Temple Mount (Haram al-Sharif), where Jews are not allowed to formally pray.
The violence has taken various forms. Palestinian perpetrators have conducted stabbings, shootings and vehicular attacks against Israeli children, adult civilians and police forces, while Palestinian deaths have reportedly been at the hands of the IDF, with one incident last week characterized as a reprisal attack by an Israeli Jew against Israeli Arabs.
“We are in regular contact with the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority,” Kirby continued. “We remain deeply concerned about escalating tensions and urge all sides to take affirmative steps to restore calm and prevent actions that would further escalate tensions.”
Kerry – shut up, you idiot! It’s your kissing up to Abbas and giving him and his terrorist PA some legitimacy that makes him feel empowered. There will never be peace between Israel and these savages. Gush Katif is the proof of what they’re all about.
Now freeze every single dollar that is being supplied to Abbas and Hamas “to rebuild”. Let’s see an action taken against Islam for being a barbaric, vicious, bloodthirsty lifestyle (it’s not a religion).
Support Israel in cleaning out its territory (e.g. West Bank) from these predator animals, and settling it with humans. But expecting Obama to do this is clearly a fantasy, one totally in opposition to his terror loving mission.
just like assad must go, useless lines.
Meanwhile Obama is enjoying the Jewish blook being spilled. Y’s
Where is the nachshoyn
Willing to go and avenge
Innocent blood

Where is the nachshoyn
To avenge and slaughter
Those guilty including those
Who arrest when someone is finally avenging , and standing up for those
Who cant anymore?
abu mazen is forcing the UN to give him a state without working out peace treaty with israel . this is what these bloody murders are about
did I just hear a mouse make a squeak
These low lives can never just condemn Arab terror. They have to always qualify it by saying they mourn the loss of innocent lives on “both sides…” The reality is that the deaths on the other side are not of innocents! They’re the terrorists who attacked Israelis !
Hey Kerry…you finally woke up? where were you till now you good-for-nothing…
The affirmative action that the Goyim would like to see Israelis take is to give the other cheek and not kill Palestinians who are stabbing or shooting them. When one side is clearly acting in a savage and barbaric way, you do not scold “both” sides, but rather side firmly and unequivocally with the victims of the stabbings, shootings and mowing down deaths perpetrated by the unfettered Palestinians.
