The West Bank is a disputed territory in which both parties must negotiate on the borders. There is nothing that derails Israel from being in the West Bank and in fact, many of the settlements today were jewish prior to the birth of Israel. Israel is not at fault for deploring its sovereignty under international law and the United States failed by supporting such united government.

I wonder if the people who think it is none of our business, also think it is none of our business when an American citizen is killed in a country other than Israel, like say, Aruba? If they do, hey, that's cool. I disagree, but at least they are consistent. Can't really argue with that. If they do think it is our business in other places, then it's hard to take anything else they have to say very seriously.

To the lunatic fringe far left/arab terror apologists, it is only the US' business when Israel does something allegedly "bad," but not the US' business when the arabs commit an atrocity.

This is most definitely the US' business since one of the 3 kids was an american citizen.

There's that too. But also to a certain lunatic fringe element neo-nazi type on the right as well. Politics makes for strange bedfellows.

Yup. Jumped in about the Trayvon Martin shooting. But he will be silent over this.

Well now that the three kids bodies have been found dead..........It isn't a "alleged kidnapping " any more. It's murder. They were found covered with rocks, in a field, near where they were last seen.

Hamas will pay in blood.

Neo-Nazi type? I take it you're referring to group that supports and defends the anti-Semitic actions and slaughter of innocent Jews by Muslim terrorists? They are the ones that have things in common with Neo-Nazis...specifically the support of genocide of the Jewish people.

One of us is confused. By "neo-nazi types", I meant neo-nazis. And yes they have that in common with the loonies on the left. My point was just that both sides have lunatic fringes that would like nothing more than to see Israel destroyed.

Only in passing, off camera, did Obama acknowledge the death of the three Israeli boys, one of whom holds a dual citizenship in America. I guess young Mr. Frankel doesnt remind Obama of his own son, if he had one.

“The United States condemns in the strongest possible terms this senseless act of terror against innocent youth,” the president said in a statement, adding he had offered U.S. help to Israel and the Palestinians to find those responsible for the deaths of the three seminary students.
“I also urge all parties to refrain from steps that could further destabilize the situation,” he said.
