This morning a Palestinian stabbed an American girl to death in her bed. The Palestinian gov't unequivocally celebrated it. US response? — Seth Mandel (@SethAMandel) June 30, 2016

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 — Arsen Ostrovsky (@Ostrov_A) June 30, 2016

Surely President Obama would speak out as well, particularly in light of the fact that Ariel was also a U.S. citizen.

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 — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) July 1, 2016

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 — President Obama (@POTUS) June 30, 2016

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. — President Obama (@POTUS) June 30, 2016

Congress is leaving a hefty to-do list undone. Health officials still need emergency funding to effectively protect Americans from Zika. — President Obama (@POTUS) June 30, 2016

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. — President Obama (@POTUS) June 30, 2016

Americans still need and are asking Congress to pass commonsense gun laws that strengthen background checks and keep our communities safe. — President Obama (@POTUS) 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 — President Obama (@POTUS) June 30, 2016

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 — el Queso del Diablo (@WarrenPeas64) June 30, 2016

And that’s a disgrace.

Israel PM @netanyahu on the murder of Hallel Ariel – She’s an American citizen, where’s your statement, @POTUS?https://t.co/K2QOvOJRxN — Cameron Gray (@Cameron_Gray) June 30, 2016

Obama gets a Lebron shirt. In other news, a terrorist killed an American girl in her sleep. pic.twitter.com/PDwao422lU — Razor (@hale_razor) July 1, 2016

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? — M. E. Thomas (@VaALHLogHomes) June 30, 2016

When Britain walks on EU, Obama threatens to put them at the back of the line. When Palestinians kill Americans in Israel, total silence — Zach Hanover (@zhanover) June 30, 2016

A young Jewish American girl can't be Barack Obama's daughter, so silence after her murder #Israel https://t.co/rA2wCaR7OL — Jon Brodo (@jonbrodo17) June 30, 2016

Obama only pays homage to crime victims that can advance his political agenda. https://t.co/9YyETT3XvQ — Nathan (@NATHANINSOCAL) June 30, 2016

It's beyond disgusting. She was American, and our Administration doesn't care. https://t.co/MQEVBgfTAR — Dave G. (@sailordav) June 30, 2016
