I see that one American was murdered as well. Will we hear a peep out of Dan Schapiro? Will we hear a peep out of John Kerry? Answer: NO. Just like the first terrorist attack in Paris, a few months ago, this attack in Israel was justified. A resident of Jerusalem extended his porch for his growing family. That is an act of unprecedented provocation & the Palestinians are justified to kill innocent Israeli Jews. Now, tell me that the Democrats don’t HATE the Jewish people.
