Obama Gives 20 Million to Hamas.

Obama is giving 20.3 million bucks to Hamas! Whoa! That is a ton of bullets and rockets that the terrorists can fire back at the Israelis. I know that the money is really supposed to be used for humanitarian purposes. And I hope that some of it will get to the innocent people in Palestine.

But to trust that Hamas will not use some of the money to increase their arsenal is hard to believe. Hamas has already been caught hijacking aid shipments to the needy people in Gaza. So what do you think that they will do with 20 million dollars? I just don't agree with doing business with thugs like Hamas. And Hamas is the big dog in Palestine calling the shots. Literally.

02/04/09 "Hamas police raided an UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency) warehouse in Gaza Tuesday evening, stealing thousands of blankets and hundreds of food parcels from local staff at gunpoint." I just read that story in the news this morning.

"Hamas police grabbed 3,500 blankets and 407 food parcels, according to Gunness, who said his staff was present at the time of the heist. "We were there, and we tried to stop them, but they were armed and we were not," he said." Like I said, Hamas is nothing but a gang of terrorist thugs. I think its a sure bet that some of that money will fall into Hamas hands to be used against Israel.
