It took the brutal butchering of an Israeli family - including three little children - for Senators to go after the Obama administration for its indifference to the perpetual incitement by the Palestinians against the Jewish state. The schools of the Palestinian Authority teach hatred of Jews and glorify suicide bombings, as does the governmant controlled media and the Imams from their mosques.
The incitement has been going on unabated because, other than a few lukewarm admonishments, the international community and the Obama administration have failed to take any concrete steps against the Palestinians for inciting their people against Jews and against Israel. Thus the bipartisan group of 27 senators are a day late and a dollar short, but that still beats Obama and Clinton’s indifference by a country mile.
US SENATORS PRESS CLINTON ON ANTI-ISRAEL ‘INCITEMENT’
The Straits Times
March 30, 2011
WASHINGTON - TWENTY-SEVEN US senators pressed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Tuesday to make clear to Palestinian leaders that any incitement to violence against Israel or Jews is 'not tolerable.'
'We would like to know what specific steps you are taking to press for an end to this dangerous incitement,' the lawmakers wrote in a letter to Mrs Clinton urging action after the grisly stabbing slayings of a family of five Israelis, including three children.
'The Itamar massacre was a sobering reminder that words matter, and that Palestinian incitement against Jews and Israel can lead to violence and terror,' the group, which included Democrats and Republicans, said in their message.
'We urge you to redouble your efforts to impress upon the Palestinian leadership that continuing to condone incitement is not tolerable. We also urge you to consider focusing adequate training and educational programs in the West Bank and Gaza that promote peaceful coexistence with Israel,' they said.
Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas has denounced the early March attack at the Itamar settlement in the West Bank near the northern city of Nablus as 'abominable, inhuman and immoral.'
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has blamed Palestinian incitement for creating an atmosphere that led to the killings - widely believed to have been carried out by Palestinians - and Mr Abbas has flatly rejected the charge. -- AFP

This is not a surprise from someone who was and still probably is a friend of Louis Farrakhan.
This week it was reported that the commander in chief has shared a meal with this hate monger when he lived in Chicago.
Is it any surprise that our country is circling the drain with Obama running this country.
If this country does not pull its collective head out of the sand, it will take years for us to recover from the damage this man has done to America and to our allies.
The damage he is doing to our relationship with Israel is going to take a very long time to repair, if ever.
We have made a terrible mistake by electing him as President. I hope that we do not make the same mistake 2012...
