Obama to give $400 MILLION

It is one thing to send aid to a country. But it's another to pledge aid to an area run by known terrorists. That is exactly what President Barack Obama has done. Dare I even say it but any Jew that remotely cares about Israel has already made up their mind as to 2012. Jews--at least the Democrats that care about Israel and her right to defend herself--are already openly saying that they will not vote for Obama in 2012. Obama had the chance to stand up for Israel and he blew it. He blew it big time.

CNN:

The United States will contribute $400 million in development aid to the Palestinian territories and work with Israel to loosen its embargo on Gaza, President Barack Obama said Wednesday.

Obama's announcement came after White House talks with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. The money will be used to build housing, schools, water and health care systems in both the Palestinian Authority-controlled West Bank and Gaza, which is ruled by the Palestinian Islamic movement Hamas.

CNN, Hamas is not a movement. It's a terrorist organization. Get your facts straight.

Obama called the situation in Gaza "unsustainable," and said the United States would work with its European allies, Egypt and Israel to find a "new conceptual framework" for the Israeli blockade of Gaza.

Mr. President, good luck with that but the United States blockaded Cuba during the Cold War. Did you forget?!?

"We agree Israelis have right to prevent arms from coming into Gaza," Obama said. But he said "new mechanisms" were needed to allow more goods to reach the territory - and he repeated that the long-term solution was a permanent deal creating "a Palestinian state side-by-side with an Israel that is secure."

Again, this is going to require Hamas being removed from power.
