White House Acknowledges Palestinian Deaths In Bombing; No Mention of Israeli Deaths

The White House

Office of the Press Secretary

For Immediate Release
March 23, 2011

Statement by the President on Bombing in Jerusalem

I condemn in the strongest possible terms the bombing in Jerusalem today, as well as the rockets and mortars fired from Gaza in recent days. Together with the American people, I offer my deepest condolences for those injured or killed.   There is never any possible justification for terrorism. The United States calls on the groups responsible to end these attacks at once and we underscore that Israel, like all nations, has a right to self-defense.  We also express our deepest condolences for the deaths of Palestinian civilians in Gaza yesterday.  We stress the importance of calm and urge all parties to do everything in their power to prevent further violence and civilian casualties.

    He’s just so eloquent in saying exactly what he means. Israeli lives don’t matter only “peace” ugh barf. “We stress the importance of calm and urge all parties to do everything in their power to prevent further violence and civilian casualties.” In other words Israel back down – a few civilians might die – because that NEVER happens in war. Found one of your videos on youtube and followed it here, great stuff.
