State Dept: Throwing Molotov Cocktails at Jews Not Terrorism

jen-psaki

Okay then. Good to know.

For those keeping track of the State Department’s moral arc…

1. Throwing Molotov cocktails at Jews = just fine

2. Jews moving into a neighborhood that Muslims consider their exclusive property = proof that Israel doesn’t want peace

The Obama administration insisted Monday that a Palestinian who was killed by the IDF while attempting to throw a Molotov cocktail at Israeli civilians is not a terrorist.

The Palestinian, a teenager with U.S. citizenship, was shot on Friday and buried this weekend wearing a green Hamas headband. The Obama administration said in a statement on Friday that it “expresses its deepest condolences to the family.”

At a State Department briefing today, Associated Press reporter Matt Lee asked spokesman Jen Psaki whether it is appropriate to offer deepest condolences to the family of someone killed while attempting to carry out an attack on civilians.

“There are reports … that [the Palestinian teenager] was throwing Molotov cocktails at cars on a highway, and I’m wondering, if that is the case, would you still have been so speedy in putting out a statement and offering your condolences to the family?” asked Lee. “The argument that is being made by some in Israel is that this kid was essentially a terrorist, and you don’t agree with that, I assume.”

“Correct, we don’t,” replied Psaki.

I’m sure he was just a technocrat throwing Molotov cocktails at Jews. That’s how Psaki and Kerry justified the PLO-Hamas unity government. Then there was that pesky “traffic incident” where a Hamas terrorist killed a three month old baby and a young woman.

But that’s just a distraction from the real issue. Jews living in Jerusalem.

    The Liberal Democrat Leftist Yellow Dog Arabists running the US State Department require months or years of lethal rocket fire at Israeli civilians before grudgingly allowing any defensive action which they soon cut off if it shows signs of success. How can they be expected to allow Israeli defense forces to defend civilians from a few firebombs? These lib morons do the same thing domestically in the USA with young thugs committing murderous street violence and home invasions etc. You’re not allowed to shoot them in self defense. You get into major trouble with the liberal prosecutors. The essence of it is that these little thugs are doing the leftist-liberals’ work for them-destroying civilization so they can have unlimited power in their progressive Utopias. When they get that power the murder really takes off – into the millions like Stalin and Mao. Until the media are taken back by honest journalists and editors it will never change.

    The Jew-hating jihadi-loving malignant tumors at the State Department need to be rooted out and removed,
    If I were in charge, I would interview each and every parasite there.
    They would get 2 questions.
    Which country do you represent?
    Which country in the ME is our only natural ally?
    Anyone who didn’t answer the USA and Israel would be instantly fired for life.

    It’s hopeless and futile to ask Obama or any of his mouthpieces an honest question and expect an honest answer. They’re all pathological liars.

    Even under good conservative administrations, our State Department is by nature a feckless entity consisting of pseudo intellectuals who think they are a cut above the average American. I know because I spent as total of 8 years with DEA stationed at an embassy and a consulate overseas. In addition, I spent two years with DEA in our International Training section doing training seminars overseas, which were funded by State. I know first hand the arrogance of these folks (not all, mind you).

    Having said that, this Psaki lady and her assistant, Marie Harf, are classical examples of political activists who have been handed jobs they should not be filling. The best course of action would have been to withhold comment. After all, prudence is a State Dept. tradition.

    The next thing you know they will be sending out condolences to the families of “US” ISIS fighters killed in action.

    “Correct, we don’t,” can be taken then that, “correct, we don’t know what were doing.” Prestige from Dept. of State? What for?

    Jews disobey YHWH.
