EU Cuts Off Hamas Too

Europe has joined the U.S. and Israel in cutting off funding for the Palestinians due to Hamas and their insistence of not recognizing Israel. I hate to say this because there are innocent people there that are suffering but, you make your own bed.

It makes no sense for ANY country to give them money. Not only is Hamas a terrorist group, but what message would we be sending if we fund them but threaten all other terrorists? Maybe if Hamas had five or ten years of no terrorist activity and acknowledged the existence of Israel things would be different.

Until then, they need to look to the Arab world for money!

(NY Times)Hamas advocates the violent destruction of the Jewish state, but that came into question — briefly — after the Palestinian foreign minister, Mahmoud Zahar, discussed the issue in general in an interview with The Times of London published today.

"Let us speak about what is the meaning of the two-state solution," Mr. Zahar said. "We will ask them what is their concept concerning the two-state solution."

Later today, the Palestinian prime minister, Ismail Haniya, insisted that Hamas had not changed its position. "That is not correct. Where did you hear that?" he said in the town of Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip, Reuters reported.
