U.S. President Barack Obama on Wednesday described the fatal shooting of four Israelis in the West Bank as a senseless slaughter that will not stop the U.S. from seeking peace in the Middle East.
Obama spoke alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the two met privately at the White House on Wednesday.
"I did want to specifically take some time out to speak to the people of Israel and to the region about the senseless slaughter that took place near Hebron yesterday," Obama said.
"There are going to be extremists and rejectionists who, rather than seeking peace, are going to be seeking destruction, and the tragedy that we saw yesterday, where people were gunned down on the street by terrorists who are purposely trying to undermine these talks, is an example of what we're up against," Obama continued.
Obama expressed condolences from the American people to the families of the terror victims, and said that the U.S. is unwavering in its support of Israel's security.
"The United States is going to be unwavering in its support of Israel's security, and we are going to push back against these kinds of terrorist activities," said the president.
Obama also sent a message to Hamas, which claimed responsibility for the attack.
"This is not going to stop us from not only ensuring a secure Israel, but also securing a longer-lasting peace in which people throughout the region can take a different course," said Obama.

Its always the same. Ignore the facts—just press on with unrealistic goals regardless.
yup, Bibi is getting help and counseling from the conceptual and “intellectual” president.
In islam its okay to lie to further the ends of islam in the conceptual constructs in the Koran.
Those three words and concepts are:
Taqiyya - concealing or disguising ones beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions, and/or strategies
Kitman - half-truths that mislead and deceive
Tu-Quoque - the diversionary tactic of accusing others of Muslims own lack of peace and tolerance
So whether its Ahmadinejad regarding nuclear weapons, or iman Rauf regarding the the ground zero mosque, dont forget that their religion not only allows, but encourages, those concepts when dealing with non-Muslims - to the point that they such actions are considered good and part of the works that will earn them a place in heaven.
So its easy to understand where this is all going to go....and to who’s benefit.
Whatever happens to Israel happens to Europe and us. Not necessarily in that order.
No mention in this article about Defense Minister Ehud Barck saying "it's likely that likely Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will agree to divide Jerusalem with the Palestinian Authority," which I just find impossible to believe.
Senseless slaughter will encourage zero to send another 900million to hamas controlled areas so they can keep the senseless slaughter going at a faster pace.
“???”
Just applying the rule of open door policy on senseless slaughter to those it was not directed to, the Jews. Skippy stated he will tolerate terrorism by Hamas and others while the talks progress. It only follows that Jews should be allowed to partake in this form of government through terror since our Pres**ent says its okay and will not stop the process. Lets see if Skippy and his allies realy think terrorism is just another form of patriotism when the wrong people indulge in it?
Nor will senseless “peace” talks stop the killings. The Q’uran demands otherwise.

I see these and thank G-d that Bibi is in and Olmert is out.
Bush + Olmert = bad
Obama + Olmert = another poem in Eikha
I have to believe that Bibi is just playing 0bama on this deal. Probably figures it is the only way to get a modicum of support.
Bibi will take what he can get - and he should. Unlike Obama, his interest is in the well being and survival of his own country.
Obama has done the turn-around.
He has now decided he needs Bibi to help stop the slide in his popularity here at home and to battle the growing awareness that he is a dedicated muslim enabler, if not a card carrying muslim himself.
Once Obama feels he no longer needs Bibi or any Israeli as stage props to bolster his poll numbers they will end up under the bus or banned to the servants entrance once again.
There may be talks but there won’t be peace, mainly due to the majority of Palestinkians who don’t want a peace Israel can accept.
This is a rare event. I have seen hardly ANY of these photos since Obowma took office.
Bush was CONSTANTLY photographed talking with world leaders.
HEEELLLOOOO??????????????
Why are you people not referring to the fact that Imam Obama closed down the checkpoints back in March where these4 people were killed?
Notice this meeting takes place shortly after the headlines that 20% of Amerians think Obama is a Muslim?
Obama is in trouble so is desperately using Bibi for cover.
