    Four rabbis — three Americans and one Briton, and all joint citizens of Israel -- were killed today in a Jerusalem synagogue by two Palestinians armed with knives, axes and guns. Both killers were shot to death by police. President Obama condemned the attacks, calling it, “a tragedy for both nations.” Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu promised to, “demolish the homes of the terrorists who committed this massacre and to accelerate the demolishment of homes of previous terrorists and enforce law, to make punishment more severe and to outlaw all sorts of organizations.” Sheera Frenkel is with Buzz Feed in Jerusalem.
