The silence by these leaders, including Hillary Clinton and President Barack Obama, has drawn outrage from some in the pro-Israel community who accuse these Democrats of drawing a moral equivalency between the Jewish state and Palestinian terrorists, who have committed a series of deadly attacks in recent weeks that have killed several Israelis.
As some Democrats remain mum about the death of 18-year-old Ezra Schwartz, a Massachusetts native, Republicans have issued a series of statements condemning the attacks and the recent spike in Palestinian terrorism.
Robert Kraft, the owner of the New England Patriots NFL franchise, at the urging of an Israeli lawmaker, held a moment of silence for Schwartz before the opening of a Monday night game, along with an address mourning “the many who have recently lost their lives in senseless terrorist attacks abroad.”
“At this time we would like to honor Ezra Schwartz and hundreds of victims like him with a moment of silence,” an announcer said before asking the crowd for a moment of silence.
However, Clinton, Obama, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass) have declined to take a public stance on the terror attack and Schwartz’s death, prompting criticism from Israel supporters.
The silence, critics say, is evidence that the far-left of the Democratic Party is beholden to anti-Israel interests.

"What's the matter Barack? Does the cat have your tongue?? You are one poor excuse for a human-being. I knew you weren't presidential material six years ago. You were smooth enough to pull the wool over the gullible citizens' eyes to win the presidential election. I truly believe most Americans are seeing you for what you are. We have an incompetent, un-American, traitor, and a devout muslim sitting in the white house. Oh, how it will be a glorious day when we can have some fresh air in the people' house.
