White House's 'Condolences' for Murdered Israeli Teens Will not be EnoughMy heart is broken, absolutely broken. Words never fail me but at this moment, only words feel inadequate, even inappropriate. I am, of course, talking about the discovery of three dead bodies which once belonged to three beautiful Israeli souls: Gilad Shaar, Naftali Frenkel, and Eyal Yifrach.
This is a
time for tears but also a time for some very serious decisions. Prime
Minister Benyamin Netanyahu has confirmed that "Hamas is responsible,
and Hamas will pay. He added that the teenagers were "kidnapped and
murdered in cold blood by wild beasts."
The
French foreign Minister, Laurent Fabius, is "deeply
shocked and upset" by the murder of these boys. He also
expressed "horror" and indignation."
President
Obama expressed his "deepest
condolences" to the family of the slain teenagers. He
added: "I also urge all parties to refrain from steps that could
further destabilize the situation." President Obama did not accuse Hamas
of this despicable act nor did he say our government would assist Israel in
its search for security and justice.
White
House spokesman, Josh Earnest, said: "We obviously
condemn in the strongest possible terms violence that takes the lives of
innocent civilians."
