Be sure to make it as transparent as Obama's admin. and actions.
5. Evac All Americans
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (07.06.14)
The US should be preparing to evacuate all Americans. and if this kid is not on his way home or to the Trauma Center in Germany by Tuesday, Sixth Fleet probably needs a training exercise in the Eastern Med. Maybe hey can escort him and all other Americans at risk.
6. I'm troubled by something else
Abu Zibby ,   Haifa, IL   (07.06.14)
Well, he's just a boy. Incitement, boredom and stupidity probably led him to riot. But how are these subjects able to enter Israel at all? Fail: Israeli Immigration Office.

The US did condemn it, so shut your trap. If the Police did something wrong they should be punished. If the Police did nothing wrong then they will be vindicated. Police in all countries violate basic human rights and sometimes use excessive force and Israel is no exception. America has a moral responsibility to give aid to it's citizens if they suspect that there basic human rights was violated regardless of race, religion or ethnic background or political affiliation. If the same would happen to an Israeli citizen by American police and I am quite sure it has happened. then Israeli's as well as Americans would expect a thorough investigation before passing judgment.
11. USA profundly troubled?
albert snow ,   sweden   (07.06.14)
I think Israel ought to be profundly troubled of USA sending rioters to Israel breaking Israeli laws.
12. State department
(07.06.14)
The police may or may not have beaten the Arab child, and the child may or may not have been involved in a violent attack on the police. We will only know after investigation is complete. If the police did beat him, it should come as no shock: beating innocent Jewish children started under the Leftist Sharon regime, reached a zenith under the Olmert regime, and has become a standard tool used by Livni and Aharonovitch. All the while, police beating children was legitimized by courts and AG. Zionists warned the Leftists that eventually Arab children would also fall victim. As for the State Department: you should first concern yourselves with the 19 month old baby who is in a coma with life-changing injuries because he was attacked by US police with a stun grenade.

you are a total idiot. you should evacuate the entire city of chicago, including the mayor.
14. Profoundly troubled?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.07.14)
So the U.S. is "proufoundly troubled" because Israeli police acted properly against a Molotov-cocktail hurling thug? How come the U.S. wasn't in the least bit troubled when Naftali Frenkel was kidnapped and killed in cold blood? Naftali Frenkel, z"l, was a United States citizen. Or does the U.S. only get "profoundly troubled" over non-Jewish citizens? Forty-one people killed in "palestinian" terror attacks held United States citizenship, which never seemed to trouble the U.S. unduly. And those forty-one murdered American citizens were not hurling Molotov cocktails or gasoline bombs or rocks at anyone.
15. US Citizen
American Firster ,   America   (07.07.14)
Sorry Nutty Sarah but you can only be loyal to one country so to answer your question NO the US does not consider dual citizens of Jewish descent as Americans we all know where your traitorous loyalties lie.......when are you going to move back to Israel traitor?
16. #14, why are you so surprised? Obama cares for his brothers.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (07.07.14)
