U.S. Senators Press Clinton on Anti-Israel Incitement


(AFP) 27 U.S. senators pressed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Tuesday to make clear to Palestinian leaders that any incitement to violence against Israel or Jews is "not tolerable." Urging action after the grisly stabbing slayings of a family of five Israelis, including three children, the lawmakers wrote, "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 senators told Clinton they had "serious concern over continuing incitement directed against Jews and Israel within the Palestinian media, mosques and schools, and even by individuals or institutions affiliated with the Palestinian Authority." "We urge you to redouble your efforts to impress upon the Palestinian leadership that continuing to condone incitement is not tolerable."
