Biden Administration Gives Another $100 Million for Terror: Prefers Aiding Palestinian Terrorists Such as Hamas to Supporting Israel

Nothing better illustrates the perversity of the Biden administration's attitude to the Gaza conflict that, at the same time that Washington is limiting arms exports to Israel, the US is increasing its aid to the Palestinian Authority.
One of the key lessons that the US should have learned from Hamas's deadly terrorist attack against Israel on October 7... is that aid donations made by foreign donors invariably end up being used to fund Palestinian terrorists.
With awkward timing, the Biden administration announced its latest $100 million aid package for the Palestinians just as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was preparing to leave for his visit to Washington this week.
While aid officials blame Israel and the continuing war in Gaza for preventing the delivery of vital supplies from reaching Palestinian civilians, the real culprit is Hamas, which controls all the delivery networks. This means that much of the aid is diverted to those who support its terrorist operations.
Biden may have announced his intention to not seek re-election, but so long as his administration remains in power, there appears little prospect of any dramatic revision taking place to its deliberately icy -- and potentially dangerous -- attitude not only towards Israel's offensive against Hamas in Gaza, but also its turning a blind eye toward Iran's destabilizing nuclear weapons, possibly coming soon, with the missiles to deliver them to the Middle East, Europe, and -- from Latin America and the Caribbean -- to the United States.
