[FREEBEACON] Israeli victims of terrorism lashed out at Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you knowKerry
Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a
lucky hat,conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State...
for his "insensitivity" after he inaccurately claimed "not one Israeli was killed by a Paleostinian from the West Bank" in a recent speech.
During a controversial speech over the weekend in Germany, Kerry threatened Israel with economic boycotts and claimed that the Jewish state is enjoying a respite from Paleostinian terrorism.
"There's a momentary prosperity, there's a momentary peace," Kerry said. "Last year, not one Israeli was killed by a Paleostinian from the West Bank."
However,
some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them...
this is untrue. At least five Israelis were murdered by West Bank Paleostinians in 2013.
Evyatar Borovsky is one of those victims. He was stabbed to death 10 months ago while hitchhiking in the West Bank. He left behind his wife, Tsofia, and five children.
"It's a feeling of carelessness and neglecting actual Israeli needs," Tsofia Borovsky told the Free Beacon on Tuesday when asked about Kerry's remarks.
Borovsky said that Kerry's comments reveal an inherent insensitivity and apathy to Israel's security needs, particularly since the murders of Evyatar and others were so greatly publicized.
"I don't even believe that [President] Obama even knows there was a murder or anything," she said through a translator. "If Kerry can say such careless things, [I'm] not sure they actually know, that the American government knows what's happening in Israel, that people are being murdered."
Kerry went on in his speech to warn Israel that violence against Israelis will increase unless the government makes tough concessions to reach peace with the Paleostinians.
