74 AMERICANS KILLED BY PALESTINIAN TERRORISTS

ONE AMERICAN CITIZEN WAS KILLED ON NOVEMBER 14 IN THE HORRIFIC PARIS ATTACKS AND HILLARY CLINTON PAID TRIBUTE TO HER, NEWSPAPERS ACROSS AMERICA CARRIED THE SAD FACT...ANOTHER AMERICAN DEAD.

BUT ON NOVEMBER 19, A YOUNG AMERICAN TOURIST DELIVERING FOOD AND WATER TO ISRAELI IDF TROOPS WAS GUNNED DOWN AND NO BIG POLITICAL NAME MENTIONED IT, EXCEPT TED CRUZ.

DID YOU READ IT IN THE NEWS?

CNN did a short piece.
It was really just a copy and paste from Israeli news media.

Breitbart mentioned that Obama had not mentioned the murder.


EZRA WAS ONLY 18 YEARS OLD.


Ezra Schwartz, an 18-year-old American yeshiva student, was gunned down by a Palestinian terrorist Thursday while delivering food to lone IDF soldiers in Gush Etzion.

EZRA WAS FROM MASSACHUSETTS, A TOURIST WHO WAS ALSO STUDYING IN ISRAEL, KILLED BY A PALESTINIAN TERRORIST, ALONG WITH A JEWISH RABBI, A FATHER OF FOUR, RABBI YA'AKOV DON, , 51.

OUR GOVERNMENT HAS, FOR FAR TOO LONG, ALMOST COMPLETELY IGNORED THE GROWING LIST OF AMERICAN CITIZENS KILLED BY PALESTINIAN TERRORISTS IN ISRAEL.

74 MURDERED AMERICANS...

A CONGRESSIONAL RESOLUTION IS ABOUT ALL THAT'S COME OF THE MURDERS OF 74 AMERICANS, INCLUDING INFANTS, YOUNG CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS.

ONLY  "CONDEMNING" THE MURDERS OF 53 AMERICANS BY PALESTINIAN TERRORISTS, PLO, HAMAS, FATAH, ETC. ALL TERRORIST GROUPS THERE, ALL PROUD TO CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY?

THAT LIST OF 53 BEGAN THE COUNT IN 1993 AND ENDED IN 2004. 

AND YET OUR OWN AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND INDIVIDUAL AMERICANS STILL FUND THOSE VERY GROUPS WHO KILLED AMERICAN CITIZENS!
THAT IS A SPECIAL KIND OF STUPID!
THAT IS WAY BEYOND INSANE!

IT'S ALMOST AS IF WE'RE PAYING THEM TO COMMIT MURDER, ISN'T IT?  
YOU KNOW, AFTER THINKING ABOUT IT, THERE IS ONE OTHER NATION WHOSE TERRORISTS KILLED AMERICANS , THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS IN ONE DAY AND YET WAS NEVER RETALIATED AGAINST...SAUDI ARABIA...REMEMBER 9/11?

SO...HERE'S A LIST, SO YOU  KNOW THE NAMES OF THOSE AMERICANS WHO HAVE DIED IN ISRAEL, VICTIMS OF THE PLO, HAMAS, "LONE PALESTINIAN TERRORISTS", SO YOU CAN ASK YOUR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES AND OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT WHY, IN GAZA, IN SO-CALLED 'PALESTINE',  WE ARE NOT STRIKING BACK TODAY AGAINST THE TERRORISTS WHO MURDER AMERICANS... WHY WE HAVE NEVER STRUCK BACK AT PALESTINIAN TERRORISTS...

WHY WE HAVE NEVER "DECLARED WAR ON TERRORISM" IN ISRAEL, AGAINST PALESTINIAN TERRORISTS...EVER.

IF THE U.S. SEEKS NO JUSTICE FOR AMERICANS KILLED IN ISRAEL, WHY MAKE A "WAR ON TERROR" BIG DEAL OF AMERICANS KILLED BY TERRORISTS ANYWHERE ELSE?
NO, IT IS TO BE CONDEMNED EVERYWHERE!
WHY ISN'T IT?

I INTEND TO BEGIN TOMORROW CALLING AND WRITING PEOPLE UNTIL I FIND OUT WHY.

WHY SEND AID TO THOSE WHO KILL OUR CITIZENS, AMERICAN INFANTS AND UNBORN, CHILDREN, AND THEN BOAST ABOUT IT?

WHO WILL BE THE NEXT AMERICAN KILLED BY PALESTINIAN TERRORIST GROUPS IN ISRAEL WITHOUT A U.S. STRIKE AGAINST THE KILLERS?

WHEN WILL AMERICA'S GOVERNMENT SEND TROOPS AGAINST KNOWN KILLERS THERE?

WE SENT TROOPS INTO IRAQ, SYRIA AND AFGHANISTAN, NATIONS THAT NEVER KILLED AMERICANS BEFORE WE SENT THEM OUR FINEST TO KILL, OUR AMERICAN TROOPS.

WHY NOT GAZA?
WHY NOT GAZA, DAMN IT?
WHY NOT THAT NON-NATION, THAT FRAUD, THAT MISNOMER OF A 'WANNABE' STATE...."PALESTINE"?

ONE OF THE EXCUSES FOR GOING INTO IRAQ WAS TO "LIBERATE" IRAQIS FROM THE "MADMAN", HUSSEIN.

ASK THE GAZAN PEOPLE HOW LUNATIC MAD HAMAS IS, OR FATAH, THE REMAINS OF THE PLO!

HOW MANY GAZANS HAVE BEEN KILLED BY THOSE SAME GROUPS WHO KILL AMERICANS, ISRAELIS, BRITISH, FRENCH, CANADIAN CITIZENS AND OTHERS?

WHAT CAN POSSIBLY BE A VALID REASON FOR NOT SENDING AMERICAN FORCES AGAINST HAMAS, AT THE VERY LEAST, IF, INDEED, OUR WAR ON TERROR INCLUDES ALL TERRORISTS?

THERE IS NONE!

AND THAT CONGRESSIONAL 'CONDEMNATION' OF PALESTINIAN TERRORISTS?
STIFLED...REFERRED TO SUBCOMMITTEE...
MAYBE SO THEY COULD KEEP SENDING "AID TO PALESTINE"???
