State Dept Spokesgirl: 'Hamas may be responsible, but they're not to blame'


Israel Matzav ^ | 7/1/14 | Carl In Jerusalem








Can anyone recall another instance outside of Israel in which the government of the United States went out of its way not to blame a terrorist organization for a terror attack?



Encouraging restraint from both the Israeli government—over the finding of the bodies of the missing on Monday, vowing to exact justice on the perpetrators— and from the Palestinian leadership, some of whom are calling the trial an Israeli conspiracy, and all of whom are bracing for reprisal, State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf told reporters that the US is intimate with intelligence on the case, in part since one of the dead teenagers was American.

"Many indications" suggest the murders constitute a terrorist attack, Harf said. "I'm not saying they're responsible," she said. "But they were involved."

Hamas may be responsible but they're not to blame?
