Pork For Hamas

Diplomacy: President Obama sat for a White House photo op with the Palestinian Authority's leader and then announced a $400 million aid package for the West Bank and Gaza. What's wrong with this picture?

The president seemed to go out of his way this week to please his latest guest, President Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority, in a way he didn't when Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, came calling last month.

Declaring "the situation in Gaza (as) unsustainable," he called on Israel to lighten its blockade on the terrorist-led regime in Gaza. And as a sweetener for the Palestinians, he appeared for an Oval Office photo with Abbas. Such a photo op was denied to Netanyahu.

Then the president whipped out the government checkbook to present a $400 million gift to Abbas' government, $70 million more than the original commitment, supposedly for public works projects in the West Bank and Hamas-ruled Gaza.

According to the White House Web site, the U.S. will build five new schools in Gaza for $10 million, plus provide $240 million in West Bank mortgage aid, fresh water pipelines and health care.

Why the U.S. should be supporting a regime that so far this year has fired 370 lethal rockets into Israel, that still refuses to recognize Israel's right to exist and that has made a cottage industry of teaching children to hate is beyond us.

Extra cash for the same people who danced in the streets on 9/11 will just free up more resources for new terror and mayhem against the Jewish state. Some $10 billion has been spent globally in the last decade on Palestine, and places like Gaza remain as miserably pro-terrorist as ever.

And don't think for one minute that Hamas will be grateful. Obama's remarks "were problematic and empty of meaning because they are part of a U.S. policy to prettify the siege of Gaza," a Hamas spokesman told AFP.

How all this aid will get to Gaza remains to be seen. Abbas' Palestinian Authority rules the West Bank and is a rival to the Hamas terrorists running Gaza, where it supposedly has no authority.

If the plan is to buy off Gazans so they'll vote for non-terrorists, it's hard to see how this would work. Hamas could refuse to let the U.S. build the schools, just as the group refused aid from Israel-inspected ships that ran the Gaza blockade. These aren't people who help themselves.

Nor can such aid ever help them as long as they remain committed to Israel's destruction. President Obama's aid offer was both ex

I don't get to this forum very often, but as I was browsing tonight, your headline caught my eye.  Pork, as in pig products, for Hamas I could get behind. :-)  Giving a terrorist government money we borrowed from China, not so much.

What if when China comes looking for their money we tell them the PA has it?

Could it be that Netanyahu denied it?
