I've Been Thinking:

Decades from now people will remember where they were when they heard the news that the bodies of the three teenage Israeli boys who had been kidnapped by Hamas terrorists 18 days earlier where found - brutally murdered in the hills north of Hebron.

The callousness of the language used by the White House in offering official condolences shocked me. Put aside for a moment the fact that one of the boys, Naftali Frenkel, was a US citizen. This is how Josh Earnest, Chief White House Spokesman, spoke about the news in an official statement:

"We obviously condemn in the strongest possible terms violence that takes the lives of innocent civilians."

What a perversion!

The boys were brutally murdered by terrorists and the White House refers to it as violence. They were teenagers, innocent boys, and the White House calls them civilians.

And then the president and the state department continue by calling for all parties to show restraint.

The White House should issue an apology!
