    WASHINGTON (JNS) – The U.S. administration said on Monday that it expects Israel to prosecute those who participated in the Huwara riot following the murder of two Israeli siblings in the Palestinian town, and to compensate those whose homes and property were damaged or destroyed.

    “We expect the Israeli government to ensure full accountability and legal prosecution of those responsible for these attacks in addition to compensation for the loss of homes and property,” said State Department spokesperson Ned Price during a press briefing.

    He called the Sunday night riot by hundreds of Israeli Jews in the Palestinian town of Huwara “completely unacceptable.”

    Price also denounced the “horrific” terror attack that claimed the lives of two Israeli brothers as they drove through Huwara, as well as the terror shooting on Monday night that claimed the life of a 27-year-old Israeli-American.

    “Accountability and justice should be pursued with equal rigor in all cases of extremist violence and equal resources dedicated to prevent such attacks and bring those responsible to justice,” Price said.

    When the Biden administration will hold all the BLM and Antifa rioters responsible for the damage and destruction they did, after the death of George Floyd, then they can go demand from Israel the same.

    Yes, US, of course, as soon as you show us who was prosecuted and who was compensated for the George Floyd riots all across the country.
    I am not condoning violence, but the sheer chutzpah of the US to comment is astounding

    How about starting with prosecuting the BLM rioters? That was also in retaliation of a death….

    Ok, now Israel should claim they are trying their best and that they lack resources etc etc. This militia approach works best when facing an enemy that uses the same approach.

    Maybe Israel will be held accountable when the US is held accountable for the Tulsa Oklahoma pogrom when 300 black citizens were killed and others sent to detention camps?
