enjoying their lives murdered by evil losers in life. i won't call them monsters because they would like that term. they would think that's a great name. i will call them from now on, losers, because that's what they are. they are losers. we'll have more of them, but they are losers. just remember that. this is what i have spent these last few days talking about during my trip overseas, our society can have no tolerance for this continuation of blood shed. we cannot stand a moment longer or the slaughter of insent people -- of innocent people,

and in today's attack it was mostly innocent children. the terrorists and extremists, and those who give them aid and comfort, must be driven out from our society forever. this wicked ideology must be obliterated, and i mean completely obliterated. nd the innocent life must be protected. all innocent lives. life must be protected. all civil sized nations -- civilized nations must join together for the sacred right of our citizens in safety and in peace. i want to offer my deep appreciation to the palestinians and president abbas for hosting me today. it's an honor to join you in bethlehem, a city that is

precious to people from all over the world, precious city. as i discussed with president abbas in washington earlier this month, i am committed to trying to achieve a peace agreement between the israelis and the palestinians, and i intend to do everything i can to help them achieve that goal. president abbas assures me he's ready to work toward that goal in good faith. and prime minister netanyahu has promised the same. i look forward to working with these leaders toward a lasting peace. i also look forward to working with president abbas on other important matters such as unlocking the potential of the palestinian economy, which is having a very rough time. building on a very positive

counterterrorism efforts. several days ago in saudi arabia , i met with the leaders of the uslim world and arab nations from all across the region. t was an epic gathering. it was a historic event. ng solomon of saudi arabia could not have been kinder, and will i tell you he is a very ise, wise man, i called on these leaders and asked them to join in a partnership to drive terrorism from their midst once and for all. it was a deeply productive meeting. the people have said there has

really never been anything even close in history. i believe that. being there and seeing who was there and hearing the spirit and a lot of love, there has never been anything like that in history. it was an honor to be involved but great things can come from that meeting. i was gratified that president abbas joined the summit and sure but o taking necessary steps to fight terrorism and confront its hateful ideology. and it's so interesting that our meeting took place on this very horrible morning of death. to innocent young people. peace can never take root in an environment where violence is

tolerated. funded, and even rewarded. we must be resolute in condemning such acts in a single unified voice. peace is a choice we must make each day and the united states is here to help make that dream possible for young jewish, christians, and muslims children all across the region. in so doing, we will all enjoy a safer and brighter future, and a safer and brighter world. in this spirit of hope we come to bethlehem asking god for more peaceful, safe, and far more tolerant world for all of us. i am truly hopeful that america can help israel and the palestinians forge peace and

bring new hope to the region and its people. i also firmly believe that if israel and the palestinians can make peace, it will begin a process of peace all throughout the middle east. that would be an amazing accomplishment. thank you very much. thank you.
