And yet today we had the White House double down on an obvious Obama gaffe that the attack was on “random” people.

WASHINGTON — The United States has joined France in characterizing Friday’s assault on a kosher supermarket in Paris as “anti-Semitic,” after four shoppers became the first casualties in a spike of violent attacks on the Jewish community in recent months.

The attack was the culmination of a violent week for the people of France, which began with a slaughter of Charlie Hebdo cartoonists and editors at the hands of trained Islamic extremists.

“We condemn in the strongest terms ‎yesterday’s cowardly anti-Semitic assault against the innocent people in the kosher supermarket,” Chanan Weissman, a spokesman for the State Department, told The Jerusalem Post.
