Obama Should Have Called Paris Market Attack What It Is: Anti-Semitism

Yeah, Obama "should have" done a lot more today. See earlier, "President Obama's 'Hilarious' Comments on #CharlieHebdo at Pellissippi State Community College in Knoxville, Tennessee — UPDATE: Video Added."

And now here comes Jonathan Tobin, at Commentary:

This week’s bloody events in France have shocked the civilized world. But shock and sadness are not a sufficient response from those entrusted with the responsibility to defend us against Islamist terrorism. That’s why President Obama’s initial statement in response to today’s news was so disappointing. The conspicuous absence of any acknowledgement of the motive of the terrorists or their targets made his remarks empty platitudes rather than a meaningful call for solidarity against a common enemy. The continued refusal of the president to identify Islamist ideology as the foe is undermining efforts to combat this dangerous virus. But the fact that he also failed to label the attack at the Parisian kosher market where four hostages were slaughtered was a case of anti-Semitism sent exactly the wrong signal to a world that is looking to the U.S. for leadership in this struggle and getting precious little of it from this president...

Well, yeah.

January 20, 2017, can't get here fast enough.
