The US State Department condemned the recent terror attack in Tel Aviv, but also warned that Israel should avoid having any “impact on Palestinian citizens that are trying to go about their daily lives”.
On Wednesday night two Palestinians from a village near Hebron entered a restaurant in the Sarona Market in downtown Tel Aviv and opened fire, killing four. One terrorist was shot in the legs while attempting to flee and the other surrendered to police.
Israel has responded by rescinding 204 work permits of the terrorists’ family members and 83,000 entry permits for Arabs from Judea and Samaria to visit their families and the Temple Mount for their Ramadan period. Newly appointed Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman also announced that Israel would stop returning the bodies of Palestinian attackers to their families for burial.
On Wednesday night, Mark Toner, spokesman for the US State Department, made a statement condemning the attack.
“The United States condemns today’s horrific terrorist attack in Tel Aviv in the strongest possible terms. We extend our deepest condolences to the families of those killed and our hopes for a quick recovery for those wounded. These cowardly attacks against innocent civilians can never be justified. We are in touch with Israeli authorities to express our support and concern,’ the statement read.
The attack was also condemned in public statements by the European Union and the United Nations Security Council.
On Thursday, Toner qualified his support for Israel, saying that a reaction to the terror attack should be careful not to inconvenience Palestinian civilians.
“We understand the Israeli Government’s desire to protect its citizens after this kind of terrorist attack, and we strongly support that right. But we would hope that any measures it takes would also take into consideration the impact on Palestinian civilians who are just trying to go about their daily lives”, Toner said in a press conference.
The two terrorists did not have permits to work in Israel and arrived at the scene via a gap in the security fence.

We have such a shortage of leadership right now.
You mean like they inconvenience us at TSA checkpoints?
Right....because the horrific attack on the Israelis, by the Palestinians, caused no inconvenience whatsoever.
What a moronic statement, from the St Dept. Jeez.
“We understand the Israeli Government’s desire to protect its citizens after this kind of terrorist attack, and we strongly support that right. But we would hope that any measures it takes would also take into consideration the impact on Palestinian civilians who are just trying to go about their daily lives.”
Oxymoronic statement award.
Were they in uniform?
Or did they look like civilians?
I saw the security footage of the murder...it was horrendous...Israel has A right to defend itself...screw whatever the State Department says!
Sorry, State Department, Israel has no intention of adopting our TSA model of profiling stuff instead of people. They tend to value the lives of their citizens over avoiding hurt feelings because some favored group felt like they got ‘profiled.’
They just inconvenienced several Israelis ... I hope Israel will inconvenience them back.
Some say that
everyone in the State Dept must swear on the statue
of Arafat that they WILL murder Americans for Islam,
especially the handicapped
When going about their daily lives involves murder, it’s appropriate to take actions that have an impact on their daily lives.
They were dressed like religious Jews with skullcaps.
Unmitigated gall.
If a neighbor across the street had a child killed by a Muslim - or a person of any other racial or religious identity - one would never consider adding any concern about retaliations against others from that group when you expressed your condolences.
This is no different.
Send 'em back, but first wrap the bodies in pig entrails.
Family, dear friends might. Shows you where State’s feelings lie.
Suits, some sources say dressed like Orthodox Jews which is possible, but the pics I’ve seen they look like folk in black suits.
Turns out that The “daily business” of the local muslims is celebrating the Tel Aviv attack.
And of course, fun, fun fun!
