CONFIRMED: Obama is Funding the Terrorists Attacking Israel

CONFIRMED: Obama is Funding the Terrorists Attacking Israel


The middle east stood at relative peace when Barack Obama inherited the Oval Office in 2008, but much has changed since then due to this president’s botched foreign policy. Not only has he emboldened America’s enemies in places like Syria and Libya, but Obama has also alienated traditional regional allies, the most important of which is Israel.
Now this administration has gone one step further and is actually funding anti-Israeli terrorists. The United States currently provides hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign aid to the Palestinian Authority, which has recently entered into a unity government with the terrorist group Hamas.

Hamas, an anti-Israel offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, is officially designated a terrorist organization by the U.S. and much of the rest of the world, and has recently made headlines as the organization behind the kidnapping and murder of three Jewish high school students in Israel.
The unity government claims to be “technocratic” and exclusive of Hamas ministers, but many in Congress believe the U.S. is being deceived.
From Al-Monitor:
“The Palestinian leaders know that a unity government would trigger US law to cut off funding, so now they are trying to find loopholes in order to say that they are still abiding by the conditions our law’s mandate,” Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., the author of 2006 legislation that bars taxpayer support for a “Hamas-controlled Palestinian Authority,” said in a statement.
“The PA deciding to partner with a designated foreign terrorist organization once again reaffirms that Abu Mazen is not a true partner for peace and the US must respond by withholding assistance to any Hamas backed unity government,” Ros-Lehtinen said. “The administration must not fall for Abu Mazen’s latest ploy and instead enforce US law and cut off funding.”
House Foreign Affairs Chairman Ed Royce, R-Calif., expressed similar views.
“While the ‘unity government’ hides behind the facade of nonpartisan bureaucrats, it was only born out of support from Hamas — a terrorist organization that continues to call for Israel’s annihilation,” he said in a statement. “Hamas is no partner for peace; nor a legitimate recipient of aid.”
The Obama administration has already made it clear that it continues to support the unity government, raising the question of whether this is yet another example of Obama’s ignoring laws he swore to uphold or merely more questionable foreign policy from an executive branch increasingly know for its incompetence.
For the families of the three Israelis students, the question is academic. The reason behind the U.S. support of the terrorist group that murdered their children probably isn’t the first thing on their minds right now.
It should, however, be on the minds of American citizens and their elected representatives in Congress. The difference between incompetence and willful unlawfulness on the part of this president could mean the difference between simple impeachment and impeachment followed by prosecution.
