The US threatened to cut $100 million in aid money to Hamas-controlled Gaza if the terror group continues with unwarranted audits of local US nonprofit organizations.

Umm… Why is the Obama administration giving $100 million to Hamas?
The AP reported, via Orbus Max:
The U.S. will cut $100 million in American aid money to Palestinians in Gaza if the territory’s Hamas rulers continue with “unwarranted audits” of local American nonprofit organizations, a state department official said Friday.
The American threat came in response to a growing attempt by Hamas to exert control over the international organizations that support the many impoverished Palestinians among Gaza’s population of 1.5 million people.
This week, Hamas shut down the U.S.-financed International Medical Corps after it refused to submit to a Hamas audit.
The State Department informed Hamas on Thursday that aid worth $100 million would be halted if the International Medical Corps were not allowed to operate freely.
“If they are not allowed to reopen and operate then obviously we are looking at USAID to suspend all operations until the IMC is allowed to reopen,” said a state department official in Washington, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. “These are unwarranted audits and amount to an increase in harassment of humanitarian relief staff.”
The U.S., which considers Hamas a terrorist organization, does not have direct contact with the group.

Why the hell are we giving money to terrorists and avowed enemies of the United States? What the hell is wrong with these people in Washington???
Kenny Solomon commented:
It’s not $100 million, it’s $900 million from The United States.
The $100 million is just the annual amount.
The actual total is $4.4 Billion with all other nations’ contributions.
Really wish folks would listen when some of us post on sites and send e-mails —- like this one I ran out back on March 3, 2009 at RS.
Oh well…… No harm, no foul.

BTW…. My slight rant above is NOT a shot at GP’s amazing Jim Hoft.
It’s meant for a few folks, two of whom are sitting in elected office at the moment – supposedly from our side – who don’t listen – and are Jewish.
rbosque commented:
$4.4? Just when you thought Washington couldn’t sink lower…

It is written, literally, into the Islamic gene set that Muslims are compelled, by allah himself, to fight the Jews, the People of the Book (Christians), and all other non-Islamic believers until the final days.
Sura 9:5, When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters [non-Muslims] wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them. If they repent and take to prayer and render the alms levy, allow them to go their way. God is forgiving and merciful.
Sura 9:29, Fight those who believe not in God and the Last Day and do not forbid what God and His Messenger have forbidden–such men as practice not the religion of truth, being of those who have been given the Book–until they pay the tribute out of hand and have been humbled.”
Sura 9:41, Go forth, light-armed and heavy-armed, and strive with your wealth and your lives in the way of Allah! That is best for you if ye but knew.
Muslims believe these things, and act accordingly. In fact they expressly state time and again that they are motivated by allah’s instructions. Since Muslims believe that the koran is the literal, immutable word of their god, and therefore cannot be altered in any measure, to believe that peace will come to the Mid-East is simple foolishness.
Now, is giving funding to Hamas/Gaza just foolishness, or is it intentional since US administrations (Bush included) see it as undermining Israel?

I wonder what next “natural” disaster is coming our way because of this.
Bad Actor commented:
Who okays this kind of expenditure? Is this just part of Hillary’s ‘stash’ as Secretary of State? Or is it coming from Obama? I can’t believe it could have been okayed by the current House of Representatives. Don’t any of these clowns in DC know we are BROKE???

This seems to be what the debt ceiling was all about. We get downgraded, slapped in the face and shafted, they get 100 million.
These are lame duck Barack Obama’s people, yet we are the ones his ilk call terrorist!
Msm silent!
Obama’s America 2011!
Kingslayor commented:
It should be law that the U.S. Government post every night on TV to what countries and how much the U.S. tax payers are giving aid to. I think people would find that a great deal of their hard earned money is going to countries and orginizations that hate and would like to see American citizens die. I think if this government is giving payola to terrorist groups and terrorist state governments in the form of tax payers aid it should at least be made public. But then someone would have to be held accountable. Just look at what FAST AND FURIOUS has done and yet who’s being held accountable for it??? The buck stops with OBAMMA!!

My grandson says he did not consent to contribute any of his future earnings to pay interest on the loans our congress approved to support Hamas, and he wants this nonsense stopped.
He’s 3. I’m teaching him how to spell Taxed Enough Already.
tommy mc donnell commented:
the american people are broke and our politicans are giving money to other countries. there are seventeen countries that the american politican borrows money from that the american politican gives foreign aid. give other people money so they can borrow it back and pay interest on it, must be that smart power. the same politicans that are giving the american citizens tax dollars away as the same politicans that say they need to raise taxes.

Dear Leader Barack Hussein and his Islamist-supporting “advisers” (think “Samantha Power”) and comrades in the State Dept. are really into this anti-Israel, pro-Muslim Brotherhood thing. They are funding the coming, heavily armed uprising against Israel’s civilian population.

The GOP should be using every public forum to remind people that our troops are stiffed US funds as the WHite House ends US taxpayer money to terrorist organizations – no matter WHAT the debate subject. It’s all “wastage at the Pentagon” and NEVER “Wastage at Terror Funding.” Since the media NEVER allows a forum for the GOP, they MUST use EVERY mass broadcast second to get out the message.
Most Americans DO NOT KNOW THIS and if they DID they’d be MAD. The media NEVER talks about terrorism funding, Hillary CLinton kissing Arafat’s wife SMOOCH!! but how about (to pick just ONE) the Dept of Education bloated mission and staff. Accordign to the narrative, ONLY the military is bloated and military contractors…if people saw the list of Education Contractors which push condoms, hypnotism and idiotic “leadership”and “self-esteem” seminars on kids for hefty fees, the narrative would implode.
We COULD cut the military 100% and the cut wouldn’t be noticed as having ANY effect on the debt … UNTIL we were attacked by our enemies, the SECOND they perceived we were vulnerable.
Every time they say the military is using up money, reply, “Yes, because the White House is funding our enemies to fight them.”

So we are giving money to Hamas. We are having peace talks with the Taliban. We are giving money to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. We are supporting the rebels in Libya, even if we are not sure who they are. We are having Ramadan events in the white house. And we are to believe that our pres is NOT a muslim?
It is well known that it is considered good to lie in the name of Islam if that furthers the religion (ideology). When is O going to admit he is a Muslim? I am sure that he was listed as muslim when he attended school in Indonesia. So ….
Maybe the joke is on him because the muslims clearly think that black muslims are second rate citizens and have commonly kept them as slaves. Muslims have enslaved more people than America ever thought about doing.
