As Twitchy told you, earlier this morning, 13-year-old Hallel Yaffa Ariel was stabbed to death in her own bed by a Palestinian terrorist in the West Bank.
Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu swiftly issued a powerful statement, mourning Ariel’s death and condemning terrorism:
Powerful, raw, emotional. @IsraeliPM reacts to brutal terror attack of teenage #Israeli girl in Kiryat Arba today. https://t.co/QmaOhxuInA

Surely President Obama would speak out as well, particularly in light of the fact that Ariel was also a U.S. citizen.
.@POTUS, @BarackObama, what say you Sir? https://t.co/ZdC7LfHp4T

Well, let’s see:

We can do more than thoughts, prayers, and moments of silence. Add your voice to call on Congress to #DisarmHate. https://t.co/6CiFxUwwD7

OK, well, maybe his other Twitter account had something to say:
Until next time, Justin. Good to know that Canada and the world will benefit from your leadership for years to come. https://t.co/T10g64niul

Proud to sign laws to improve transparency and avert a crisis in Puerto Rico. I'd hoped to use my pen more often before Congress left town.

Congress is leaving a hefty to-do list undone. Health officials still need emergency funding to effectively protect Americans from Zika.

After more than 100 days, the Supreme Court still needs its 9th judge, but the Senate GOP refuses to do its job and consider Judge Garland.

Americans still need and are asking Congress to pass commonsense gun laws that strengthen background checks and keep our communities safe.
— President Obama (@POTUS44) June 30, 2016
Nothing whatsoever about Ariel.
The list goes on. When Members return, I hope they'll share my commitment to work together to do what must be done. pic.twitter.com/l8nChcXpml

And where is President Obama’s commitment to seeking justice for American terror victims? Many hours after Ariel’s murder, he hasn’t even seen fit to acknowledge her death.
A 13 year old girl, a US citizen, has been murdered by "palestinians" in Israel. Silence from obama.@KurtSchlichter @WilkowMajority

And that’s a disgrace.

Obama gets a Lebron shirt. In other news, a terrorist killed an American girl in her sleep. pic.twitter.com/PDwao422lU

This administration’s priorities are nothing short of shameful.
Obama, Why haven't you come forward about the little American girl killed in Israel by Palestinian terrorist?

Obama only pays homage to crime victims that can advance his political agenda. https://t.co/9YyETT3XvQ
