Obama: A ‘senseless act of terror’

So much for reason and justice.
If the teens were hitchhiking home, and were kidnapped as alleged, how is this an "act of terror" ?

Our weak president here at home, who would receive a no-confidence vote were the American people so polled, is being led like his predecessor into making big-winded statements.

"An act of terror"... here we go.

The Washington Post has a better balanced report on the mood inside Israel and the West Bank:

Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, an Israeli army spokesman, said the bodies were discovered about 5 p.m. Monday by civilian volunteer searchers and special forces near the village of Halhul just north of Hebron.
...
In the weeks since the abductions, the Israeli military has conducted one of the largest and most aggressive sweeps in the West Bank in a decade. The fallout has included house searches, raids, arrests and even deaths, igniting new frictions between Israelis and Palestinians, who just three months ago were in the midst of U.S-brokered peace negotiations.
...
“They were under a pile of rocks, in an open field,” Lerner said.
...
Both Hamas and Abbas’s Fatah party say they are not responsible for the teens’ fate, and the Fatah leader was quick to condemn the kidnapping.

In Washington, President Obama urged Israelis and Palestinians to “refrain from steps that could further destabilize the situation.”
...
Lerner also said it was too early to determine what Israel’s response would be, but by Monday night some officials were calling for decisive action.

“There can be no forgiveness for the killers of children and those who sent them,” Economy Minister Naftali Bennett said in a statement. “Now is the time to act.”
...
Shaul Bartal, a retired major who served in various military positions in the West Bank, said, “It is a very sad day for all in Israel.” He said it was likely that some Israelis might take matters into their own hands and carry out what are known here as “price tag,” or revenge, attacks on the Palestinian population.
...
In Ramallah, seat of the Palestinian Authority government, a senior official of the West Bank’s governing Fatah party called the kidnapping “an Israeli story from the beginning.”

“Not even one Palestinian faction claimed responsibility for the kidnapping, so why do all the Palestinian people have to suffer?” asked Ziad Abu Ein, a deputy minister for prisoner affairs.

The Palestinian Authority controls only 10 percent of the West Bank.
