Goldberg's article included reports of pejorative terms used by Administration officials to describe Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.
I am outraged by the attack that occurred in Jerusalem on Wednesday and deeply saddened by the death of an infant girl, Chaya Zissel Braun.

I also hope for a quick recovery for those hurt in this terrorist attack, including Shmueli Braun, the girl's father.
