You didn't read this, did you? You are a pretty smart guy so please explain why it's OK for the administration to fund Hamas?
The US aids the Palestinian Unity Government. West Bank and Gaza on the chart in this link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_foreign_aid Though the specifics relate to 2012, the aid has not yet stopped; but it is not INTENDED for Hamas.

The US has sent billions of dollars into Gaza. Not to support the Hamas, but that seems to be where it has gone. So the fault I find; if a man asked me for a dollar to get something to eat, I would give it to him.
But let me see him buy beer with it, and he would get no more. I might offer to buy him something to eat, but I would not give him more money.
True enough. But with the recent recent formation of an interim government uniting Hamas and the PA, Hamas is a recipient of those funds as well.

That's why I think we should stop the aid...
At least you have a sense of humor---I think.

1.) We can't buy friends.
2.) We can help countries, but shouldn't try to rescue them.
3.) Those that are rescued, always hate their rescuers.
4.) The foreign aid we give cannot go on forever.
5.) Let them pay their own way.
6.) The billions are better used elevating the American poor, JOBs, Health, food, education.
Oh, you are a liberal after all.

Gwen, when you post a reply, it is helpful if you click the "quote reply" link at the bottom of the reply that you are replying to. Then we will know who you are replying to if that makes any sense? Then again, I suppose that we could just keep guessing....
