The Biden administration equated Palestinian terror attacks with settler violence in a month when four Israelis have been gunned down in such attacks, three of them this week.
“The US remains deeply concerned by violence in the West Bank and Israel and we express our condolences to those killed,” US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas Greenfield told the United Nations Security Council on Monday, as it held its monthly meeting on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
She spoke on a day when two Palestinian terrorists sprayed an Israeli civil vehicle with over 20 bullets, killing a preschool teacher in front of her daughter, and seriously wounding the driver.
Two days earlier a Palestinian terrorist fatally shot two Israelis at close blank range as they waited for their car to be washed in the Palestinian town of Huwara. On August 5th, a Palestinian gunman killed an Israeli police officer.
Thomas-Greenfield said, “We [the US] strongly condemn Palestinian terrorist attacks against Israelis, including this morning's shooting attack near Hebron,” she said as she listed all the incidents.
