US condemns vicious terrorist attack after Palestinian toddler burned to death by suspected Jewish settlers

A Palestinian toddler was burned to death and four family members wounded in an arson attack by suspected Jewish settlers on two homes in the Israeli-occupied West Bank on Friday.
The attack added to tensions between Israelis and Palestinians, sparking protests by hundreds of people and sporadic clashes, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu making a rare call to Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas in a bid to avoid further escalation.
While Netanyahu called the firebombing in Duma village near the northern city of Nablus an act of terrorism in every respect, the Palestine Liberation Organisation said it held his government fully responsible.
The death of 18-month-old Ali Saad Dawabsha was a direct consequence of decades of impunity given by the Israeli government to settler terrorism, the PLO said in a statement.

Illegal asshole Israeli terrorists and their fawning cheerleaders!
But you know the mindset of the Right Wingers in charge of Israel. They call Palestinian kids "little snakes!"

I'm pretty sick of our behavior now, even when it's on the right side of humanity.

(23,182 posts)They hate and kill Palestinians because they've either stolen the Palestinian land or they are trying to steal the Palestinian land and the Palestinians don't like it. That Israel tolerates this is totally despicable. I'd bet big money no one gets punished for this, just like cops don't get punished here.
