The last time US aid money was cut, Palestinian teachers, police officers and others working in government-funded positions went without salaries for 8 MONTHS. It is idiotic to think that making a desperate situation more desperate is going to help in any "peace process."

Maybe the Palestinians should spend their own money on teachers, police, etc, instead of sponsoring terrorism.

Are you unaware of what being under military occupation means? Palis are unable to import/export ANYTHING without HUGE Israeli taxes customs fees, despite the average salary being dramatically below an Israeli's salary. That means things like vehicles, fuel, food, clothing, etc.

Their economy is controlled and restricted in every sense of the word. No society on earth, no matter how brilliant or hard-working, can outwork such an occupation. Do more research before you make such egregious statements. Better yet, ask a Palestinian.

That's what happens when you elected Leaders that support terrorism. End Hamas and join the rest of civilization.

There is no Hamas in the West Bank. It is run by Fatah. Learn before you speak.

Good. Now let's also end aid to Israel. And to everyone else.

Really who you think that is fooling? This was stopped by the request of Israel!

I'm not trying to fool anyone... I oppose all federal foreign aid.

The Palestinians do not need your money, but they need their land

Good, most of that aid gets intercepted by Hamas anyways.

'Hamas' is the magic word they use to make apartheid more palatable. The US should never support genocidal policies

Exactly. There's no Hamas in the West Bank. They're actually the opponent of the Fateh ruling party in the West Bank. Anytime uninformed people want to try to excuse apartheid, they cry "Hamas." Not going to work anymore.

Or, you just make no sense.

Or your comprehension level is extremely low.
