State Department condemns Jaffa attack in which American tourist was killed. Victim identified as Taylor Allen Force. The United States on Tuesday condemned the shooting and stabbing spree in Yafo (Jaffa) that killed an American tourist and left 12 people wounded.

"The United States condemns in the strongest possible terms today's outrageous terrorist attacks in Jaffa, Petah Tikvah, and Jerusalem, which tragically claimed the life of U.S. citizen Taylor Allen Force and left many others severely injured," State Department spokesman John Kirby said in a statement quoted by AFP.

According to the report, the slain American, Taylor Force, a 29-year-old native of Texas and an army veteran, was a graduate student at Vanderbilt University, the school said in a statement.

"We offer our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Taylor and all those affected by these senseless attacks, and we wish a speedy recovery for the injured," Kirby said.

"As we have said many times, there is absolutely no justification for terrorism," he added, according to AFP.

"We continue to encourage all parties to take affirmative steps to reduce tensions and restore calm," Kirby stated.

Same answer they give every time this happens. How about we stop giving the terrorist Abbas money to pay compensation to these murders ?

Their justification is Mohammed.

My friend had shared that horrific photograph earlier tonight. Very unfortunate.
President 0bama will ensure a strongly-worded letter is written later this week.

This rings hallow because the Obama administration sides with Palestinian terrorists against Israel.

How symbolic can you get?

VP Joe Biden just landed in Israel and went straight from the airport to Shimon Peres’, “Peres Center for Peace” in Jaffa, where this attack started.

The Peres Center for Peace is a sham think tank, created and paid for with the blood of many thousands of Jews. Biden did not go to Jerusalem to meet Israel's Prime Minister Netanyahu first but rather he chose to snub Netanyahu and visit Peres who is the architect of one of the biggest lies ever heaped upon the Israeli people, the Oslo Peace Accords which resulted in the murder of ~1,000 Israeli citizens and maiming of ~5,000.

So Biden goes to Jaffa, meets Israelis premier Leftist, defeatist and just as they are sitting down, a Paleostinian Arab runs amok wit a knife stabbing and killing innocents including American tourists strolling along the boardwalk were knifed and one young man killed.

Again, an American VP from an appeasing administration meets an Israeli appeaser and by happenstance, an American dies on the streets of Israel.

How friggin’ symbolic!

Interestingly enough this “Peace Center” is in an historically Arab town. Jaffa borders Tel Aviv to the south. I was on that same boardwalk in 2009. RIP.

Maybe Peres wanted that Center, in his name towards some kind of coexistence with the Arabs. It's symbolic but Peres made millions of dollars from contributions to establish that center which in all honesty, does absolutely nothing, day in and day out.
It provides a place of employment to the Oslo architects and academicians. The boardwalk is great but the Israeli government is doing nothing to stop them.

Kerry has blood on his hands all right, and not fo the reasons Code Pink believes. He has Jewish blood on his hands,and so does Barry Hussein Barack Soetoro.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

How about our government realizing that there cannot possibly be a two-state solution with 7th-Century throwbacks.

One side is. Nothing more affirmative than stabbing Jews if you want Jews eradicated.
