Susan Rice Finally Weighs in on Kidnapped Israeli Boys While Obama Remains SilentDay #14 is ending and the three Israeli teenage students are still missing. One is also an American citizen.
Earlier
today, Israel named the Hamas operatives whom they believe are
behind this heinous act. They are two men who are currently missing from
Hebron, where they normally reside. Their names are Marwan Kawasmeh and Amar
Abu Eisha.
In
addition, PM Netanyahu is
demanding that PM Abbas break the unity deal with Hamas and
Hamas denies that they—or these two men are behind this kidnapping.
Until
now, there have been no statements issued by President Obama.
As of
last night, Ambassador Susan Rice's last
tweet concerns the U.S. Soccer Team "advancing" at
the World Cup games, followed by three tweets, below.
She
calls for "cooperation between Israel and Palestinian." But Hamas
is now in a unity alliance with West Bank Palestinians. How shall Israel
"cooperate" with the forces that carried out this abduction and a
populace that celebrates it?
Why doesn't Ambassador Rice propose, instead, that UNWRA
finally be dismantled at the United Nations?
Ambassador Rice also speaks for the President. They
are—suddenly, rather late into the siege--both "deeply concerned"
and "pray for their "safe return and strength for the families in
this agonizing vigil."
Why don't Ambassador Rice and President Obama behave like
allies and friends and help Israel find these boys? After all, the United
States has
designated Hamas as a terrorist entity. How explain the
President's silence, reticence? Really: One of the boys looks like he could
be Obama's son.
Finally,
Rice tweets that "all of our hearts are hurting for the 2 Israeli
students who were kidnapped in the West Bank, one of whom is also an
American. Why
not hold a press conference about this? Why doesn't the President speak for
himself?
Yet at
least Rice has remarked publicly on the matter. There is only one Commander
in Chief. Why does he remain silent and continue to allow others to speak for
him?
