US Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro voiced a particularly sharp attack against Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria on Monday, accusing Israeli authorities of holding them to different standards of law.
He expressed the unusually harsh criticism during a speech at the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) conference in Tel Aviv.
Shapiro condemned two brutal stabbing attacks on Sunday and Monday as "barbaric acts of terrorism," before launching into a critique of Israel's policies concerning the communities in Judea-Samaria.
"We are concerned and perplexed by Israel's strategy on settlements," Shapiro stated. "This government and previous Israeli governments have repeatedly expressed support for a negotiated settlement that would involve mutual recognition and separation."
"Yet separation will become more and more difficult if Israel continues to expand settlements," he asserted.
Shapiro then took issue with Israeli security forces, accusing them of being too lenient against extremist right-wing violence.
"Too much Israeli vigilantism in the West Bank goes on unchecked," he charged, adding that "there is lack of thorough investigations… at times it seems Israel has two standards of adherence to rule of law in the West Bank - one for Jews and one for Palestinians."
Shapiro's comments come on the heels of a recent flood of castigations voiced by the US administration against the Israeli government.

Sycophantic Capo Jew attacks Israel on behalf of his Religious-Jew hating masters in Washington...
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Obviously,Obama’s bf in the Middle East is Iran.
US citicism? I haven’t been criticizing Israel. Nachum, have you been criticizing Israel?
I always find it ironic that the American government supports people being able to live anywhere they want, no matter their religion, race, etc., except for the jews in Israel...
It’s almost as if Dan were a Mooslim.
Let me check. Nope, not me.
People like this who embarrass America so greatly while on our payroll and supposedly in our service — need to be put in prison ! Pray for America please that we be granted to survive this all this demeaning ( and destructive) garbage out of WashDC
I wonder who they’re talking about then.
The Bible is very specific as to how other nations should relate to Israel.
And what about their negotiating partner? It's a very shameful article, full of hypocrisy and self loathing.
No, he’s just a Kapo bastard doing the Jew-hater’s dirty work.
Meanwhile, Genesis chapter 12, verse 3 remains in effect.
Meanwhile an Israeli woman..mother of 6 was murdered yesterday in her home as her children watched..stabbed to death by a Palestinian thug..no outrage
And the Palestinians have repeatedly expressed their support for never recognizing Israel and its complete elimination. My advice to the Israelis is to tell the Ambassador to remove himself with short jerky movements.
OOops, I missed the Capo (traitor sellout) Jew part of the story....Comment: the Jewish people have had AT LEAST their share of traitors, going back to Biblical times and all the way through the Nazi mass-murders into now the Obama (attempted mass-murder) regime. Sorry, I didn’t pick up on the fact Obama is using a so-called “Jew” to mouth his Nazi-style policies against the Jewish people...
How tragic Obama is for America!
I don’t see where the criticism of Israel is coming from other than from odumbo and Islam. Actually, I prefer Israel over the other two 1000-1.
yes, ..... (Odumbo IS Islam, that’s the problem...)
Obviously this administration is seething with Israeli and Jew hatred. So the best thing Israel can do is to first set up a reliable “shadow diplomacy” network with those outside the administration who are sympathetic to Israel and Jews.
And then pull the credentials of the US ambassador, as well as others manning the US embassy who are engaging in or supporting hostile activities. Then create a ban to the entry of other hostiles from the US.
Specifically those Jews who engage in anti-Israeli or anti-Jewish activities. Inform them that they are now banned from travel to Israel, for any reason, even if they claim dual citizenship.
Shapiro then took issue with Israeli security forces, accusing them of being too lenient against extremist right-wing violence. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Circumcize them ALL Shapiro!
That is precisely why the administration put him where he is.
