Washington – The Obama administration has asked Congress to let aid to Palestinians continue if Hamas backers are included in a new unity government.

The proposed change in U.S. law would be necessary because Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, is designated as a terrorist organization and therefore cannot receive U.S. aid. But power-sharing negotiations between Hamas and the rival Fatah faction, which controls the West Bank, may result in a unity Palestinian government that includes ministers backed by Hamas.
The White House sought the change as part of a bill authorizing $840 million for the Palestinian Authority as well as for rebuilding Gaza after this year’s 22-day Israeli military assault.
The Hamas proposal brought criticism from U.S. lawmakers, one of whom, U.S. Rep. Mark Steven Kirk, R-Ill., said the move was akin to supporting a government that “only has a few Nazis in it.”
“We don’t want to … bind our hands in the event that such a (Palestinian unity) agreement is reached, and the government that they are part of agrees to our principles,” U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reportedly replied.
Here we go. No surprises here. Hillary & Hussein, the 2 most powerful anti-semites in the govt. We’re all screwed, not just Israel. Wait for the ban on Schechita. You heard it first here, folks!

Did you really expect anything more from Hussein Obama and his side kick, the congenetal liar, Hillary? I am sure when she tries to run zgain in New York she will tell us all what a great friend of Israel she is and those liberal Jewish fools at UJA will believe her and vote for this disaster.
Bad enough that we pretend that the Palestinian Authority are no Nazis, but to officially incorporate Hamas, open Nazis, into the government and still pretend that we are dealing with an honorable partner in peace, is mind boggling. The next step is pretending that Hamas also wants peace.
Where is Charlie? He always advocated her Presidency.
The President spits on of all who suffered from terrorism. As an American I am ashamed of him.
