Israeli embassy claps back at US criticism over demolition of teen attacker’s home

Jacob Magid is The Times of Israel's US bureau chief

After the US Office for Palestinian Affairs issued a condemnation of Israel’s demolition of the family home of a 13-year-old Palestinian who killed a Border Police officer, the Israeli embassy in Washington responds.

“Context is helpful: the “13-year-old” is a terrorist who murdered an Israeli citizen by stabbing him to death,” the embassy tweets.
