President Obama has responded to today's terrorist attack on a synagogue in Jerusalem in which four Israeli Jews attending morning prayers condemning the attack, and stating that "the majority of Palestinians" want peace.
In a statement delivered to the White House press pool, President Obama responded to the attack by declaring that "too many Palestinians have died," as well as Israelis, in the struggle between the state of Israel and the terrorist group Hamas and its affiliates, including the internationally active Muslim Brotherhood. "At this difficult time," the President told reports, "I think it's important for both Palestinians and Israelis to try to work together to lower tensions and reject violence."
"We have to remind ourselves that the majority of Palestinians and Israelis overwhelmingly want peace," the statement concludes, before the President begins remarks on the Ebola crisis in West Africa. The President did not take questions.
The President's remarks follow Secretary of State John Kerry's response to the terrorist attack, in which he called "on Palestinian leadership at every single level to condemn this in the most powerful terms.” Palestinian Authority head Mahmoud Abbas, on his end, nominally condemned the attack while "stressing the need to end the causes of such attacks like tensions over what Jews call the Temple Mount and Palestinians call al-Aqsa Mosque." Such a dismissal of the increasingly out-of-control terrorist activity by Palestinian extremists received the typical benefit of the doubt from mainstream media.

B@stard!
Obama has yet to hear back from the NY Times on what he said. Of course he denies ever knowing a Palestinian.
“the majority of Palestinians” want peace.
Then perhaps they should stop supporting hamass and start building an infrastructure. Instead of tunnels and weapons they should start building factories (not bomb factories) and buying actual tools for building things.
Time for the old-faithful text to appear.
Maybe Gruber can tell him, oh wait, he doesn’t know Gruber either.
What Obama failed to mention is the fact that :
of the Four Jews killed in the Synagogue :
doesn’t he keep telling us what side he is on?
Now We’re getting somewhere,,,
“Too many NAZIs have died”....
~Herr Obama (replacement for mysteriously missing FDR)
God weighs in on this topic:
“will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. “

“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil”
~ Isaiah 5:20
WTF? I mean really, WTF? This man has no connection to reality.
FUBO!
Thanks for posting this.
3 Americans died, I guess that means nothing.
I think he's a closet Muslim, (like he's a closet bi-), but you raise an interesting question. Maybe that's why he's almost always late to press conferences and other speech events--has to line them up with his headbanging sessions. But, I always ascribed that to his self-absorption; making other people wait on him emphasizes his self importance.
Even when he condemns the murders, he uses the word "obviously", as in "obviously, we condemn these attacks".
It's like a disclaimer, "I have to say the following customary thing we always say. Doesn't come from me, just gotta say it once".
I suspect he's more of a cultural-only Muslim, like the 3rd generation Pakistani immigrants of Europe. They drink, whore, and do drugs. Beyond a holiday or two, they don't do mosque. They're still up, however, for the occasional riot or Jew-beating...,maybe even a Jihad-cation in Syria alongside their more devout cousins.
Similarly, I suspect Obama prefers to get his Muslim on through policy and messaging, more than private head-banging.
I didn’t think this was a thread about Gruber.
No such thing as “Palestinians” so go pound sand. They are evil terrorist that are very lucky Israel just doesn’t go old school biblical on their butts.
I have never seen a president who was so indifferent to innocent blood being spilled. Never.
