No extra money for Hamas

"Nobody is suffering more than the Palestinian people." - Barack Hussein Obama, quoted today in the Des Moines Register.

Perhaps so. But they can blame Hamas and Hezbollah for their woes. While Mr. Obama would solve the problem by doing away with restrictions on "giving" to the Palestinians, persons within the Palestinian parliament admit that since Hamas took over their government all controls over foreign aid have broken down and millions of dollars are missing.

Giving the Palestinians more aid, funneled as it must be through governments, will not solve the problem nor will it provide Israel with a more stable neighbor. Hamas is a terrorist organization masquerading as a political entity (nothing new there), closely allied with Hezbollah, a multi-national terrorist organization funded and aligned with Iran.

Would someone please inform Mr. Obama?
