For the past 2 weeks Palestinians are running wild on the streets of Israel, stabbing people to death, car ramming into people, shooting Molotov cocktails, and much more.
Now, (unfortunately) I wasn't surprised by how the media covered the violence. The media is rotten, (more about their coverage, below). But from the United States, the state department, and the Secretary of State I expected much better.
onto the words of the state department spokesman John Kirby:
“Individuals on both sides of this divide—have proven capable of, and in our view, are guilty of acts of terrorism,” "Both sides".

Ah, did anyone hear of any Israeli that stabbed a Palestinian to death the past month? It never happened. But tens of Palestinians did so to Israeli citizens. But as per the Obama administration both sides are guilty of terrorism. Wow!
Netanyahu on "disproportionate" claims: I think the US killed more people in Afghanistan than were killed in the Twin Towers.

Let's continue: last week a 13 year old Palestinian took a knife and went on a stabbing spree, seriously injuring a 13y/o Israeli boy. Police shot the Palestinian and neutralized him. A few days later, the head of the PA gave a speech. In that speech he presented a whole different story. He claimed that the 13 year old Palestinian never had a knife in his hand, and that Israel executed him in cold blood.
Nowadays when everything gets recorded, it didn't take too long, and the Israeli police gave out CCTV footage where you can see the Palestinian boy running with a knife http://youtube.com/watch?v=aCuoKy-sCTE. Than they distributed out pictures of the terrorist in his hospital bed, and pictures of how he's getting spoon fed. (Yes, with money from the taxpayers he wanted to kill).
In short: Mahmoud Abbas stood up on tv, flat out lied, and incited his people to kill more Israelis.
Last night, on live TV, Abbas held up a photo of a teenage terrorist he said was "executed" by Israel. He lied. pic.twitter.com/rIRI70dHZi

What did America say: NOTHING!
A week later Obama at a press conference said this: "We also believe that it's important for both [Israeli] Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu and Israeli elected officials and [Palestinian] President [Mahmoud] Abbas and other people in positions of power to try to tamp down rhetoric that may feed violence or anger or misunderstanding." http://fxn.ws/1Pn6dRV
Sickening! Bibi Netanyahu did not incite anyone, did not lie in his speeches to make anyone go kill people. Mahmoud Abbas did
Thurm in NYT: "Abbas...abhors attacks on Israelis." http://t.co/xfLcb42IAL Abbas: ""We welcome every drop of blood spilled in Jerusalem."

But Barack Obama won't condemn Abbas. He'll just equate both in blaming them for violence.the next statement is mind boggling and blood curling, i wouldve never believed that we'll hear such words from an american official.
Developing: Kerry says that Palestinian "frustration" over #Israel's "massive increase in settlements" has led to the explosion of violence.

STUNNING: not only aren't the Palestinians at fault for killing innocent people, but he is blaming the victims!(As a sidenote. John Kerry is going to the Middle East to try to sit together bibi Netanyahu with mohmoud Abbas. Kerry might be very frustrated with his lack of progress there, and that might make him stab a few people. Beware, you were warned!)
Speaking about John Kerry: it is no surprise to me that Kerry should say such things. After all we're talking about a person who literally blocked a meeting between the Israeli PM and the head of the PA from happening, and all... Because he wasn't the one who was arranging it http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/.premium-1.677690.
In short, he'd rather that there not be peace, than that it should be, but someone else should take credit for it. Shocking, I know.
So for John Kerry to spin such tragedies in order to take out some political advantages, by being able to blame the Israeli settlements, is just part of the core. (even if the claims aren't true. The facts are that the last few years there are less settlements getting built than before. But please don't disturb Kerry with the truths.)
As for Obama himself. It's hard for me to say that Obama is an antisemite, id much rather say that his feud with bibi is taking him to do things that he shouldn't. But as leader of the free world, it's time for him to stop. He's heading very much into a danger zone, actually rewarding terrorists for their behavior.
Onto the media: why does the media hate Israel so much? Why can't they call a spade a spade, and a terrorist a terrorist? I don't know the answer to that. But we still need to confront the medias bias, with hope that it'll help restore some balance into their coverage.
So here's a few examples of articles that try to downplay the Palestinian terrorism and their killing of innocent civilians.
