                  Donald Trump condemns Tel Aviv attack, slams anti-Israel hatred in Palestinian society

                  10.06.2016, Israel and the World

                  “I condemn, in the strongest possible terms, the outrageous terrorist shootings that took the lives of at least four innocent civilians and wounded at least twenty others in Tel Aviv yesterday,” said Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in a statement.

                  On Wednesday night, two Hamas-affiliated terrorists, dressed in black business suits and bearing briefcases, entered the popular Max Brenner chocolate bar/cafe at the Sarona Market shopping complex. After sitting down and ordering food, the terrorists — who it was later determined hail from the West Bank village of Yatta near Hebron — opened fire.

                  Before being neutralized by security guards, they managed to kill four people — two men and two women — and wound many more.

                  “The American people stand strong with the people of Israel, who have suffered far too long from terrorism,” said Trump, adding that “Israel’s security is a matter of paramount importance to me and the American people.”

                  Trump slammed Hamas for its celebration over the attacks and the terrorists themselves. “Just as fast as the condolences arrive from the civilized world is the praise arising out of the uncivilized one. Hamas praised the attack, calling the attackers ‘heroes.’ Reports out of Hebron indicate that residents of the terrorists’ hometown lit up the night sky with celebratory fireworks,” he stated, adding that it was “despicable” that one Palestinian “news organization” called the attacks a “Ramadan treat.”

                  Trump said the world understands “all too well the unspeakable horror that terrorism unleashes.”

                  He called on the world to “recognize the parallel horror of the culture of religious hatred that permeates many Palestinian quarters. From schools that indoctrinate toddlers to grow up to kill Israelis to the daily menu of hate that spews forth from various ‘news organizations,’ change is long overdue in the Palestinian territories.”

                  The presidential hopeful said he hopes to forge a “future where peace can take root and terror finds no refuge.”

                  On the same day, presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton issued her own condemnation of the Tel Aviv terror attack, saying in a statement, “I condemn the heinous terrorist attack in Tel Aviv today. I send my deepest condolences to the families of those killed and I will continue to pray for the wounded.”

                  “I stand in solidarity with the Israeli people in the face of these ongoing threats, and in unwavering support of the country’s right to defend itself. Israel’s security must remain non-negotiable,” she added.
