Former envoy to US slams calls for revenge of Israeli teens’ death

Former Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren slammed recent calls for revenge for the murder of three Israeli teens: "As deeply as we mourn the murders of Eyal Yifrach, Naftali Frenkel and Gil-Ad Shaer, we, as Israelis and Jews, must condemn the racist calls for vengeance against innocent Palestinians.

"One of the sources of Israel’s moral strength has been our refusal to resemble our enemies in their obsession with revenge and blood. I categorically condemn all acts of violence and racism which dishonor the memory of our three precious boys,” Oren said in a statement on his Facebook page.
