Not that it makes it right, but Bush sent aid to Gaza too, it’s not a new thing.

Well, I didn’t know that, but that’s equally awful.

Bush sent money through the UN that was targeted for all refugees. That would be UNRWA who can’t manage their money. Who let Arafat steal it all and put his disgusting wife in a condo in Paris while his people suffered. Who lets the Arabs write schoolbooks that tell lies about the region’s history and the Jews. Cripes don’t get me started on UNRWA.

By seeking to aid Gazans but not Hamas, the [Obama] administration is following the lead of the Bush administration, which sent money to Gaza through nongovernmental organizations. In December, it said it would give $85 million to the United Nations agency that provides aid to Palestinian refugees in the West Bank, Gaza, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.

The United States considers Hamas a terrorist organization, and the Bush administration refused to have any formal dealings with the group.

The problem is that Hamas government controls the money from the UN. They don’t know that?
