Hamas ‘happy’ with Obama’s $900 million pledge
Funds earmarked for U.N. agency that openly employs terrorists
by Aaron Klein, WorldNetDaily, Feb. 25, 2009
Fawzi Barhoum, Hamas spokesperson
“We are very happy with this decision,” said Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum, speaking by cell phone from Gaza. “In the first place, this money will go toward reconstructing efforts.”
Barhoum said he expects the money to be tightly controlled. He said the funds are likely to be delineated to the Palestinian Authority and to the United Nations Relief and Work Agency, or UNWRA, which administers aid to millions of Palestinian “refugees” in the Gaza Strip and West Bank.
Hamas has a close relationship with UNWRA; the agency openly employs a large number of Hamas members, including some of the group’s most senior terrorists.
The U.S. aid has not yet been officially approved by Congress. The package is expected to be formally announced by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton when she attends an international Gaza donors conference in Egypt next week. A U.S. official reported the money will not reach Hamas but will go instead to nongovernmental organizations, most notably UNWRA. Still, the terrorist organization controls the Gaza Strip. Any reconstruction efforts in the territory are likely to bolster Hamas.
Hamas, UNWRA closely linked
From 1990 until today, teachers affiliated with the Islamic Bloc, which is formally associated with Hamas, have won elections as representatives of the teachers’ section of the UNRWA union. By 2003, they held all seats and fully constituted the executive committee of this section of the union. The publication of UNWRA school books in Gaza is coordinated with Hamas.

It pays to be a terrorist
It pays to be irrational
It pays to send missiles into neighboring villages, year after year
It pays to never stop the Intifadah
It pays to be part of UNWRA, an institution whose survival depends on the survival of terror groups and employs them in great numbers
It pays to have Democratic friends in high places fighting for your right to be an Islamo-fascist terrorist

You don’t think for one minute the funds would end up in the hands of Hamas? This honest to goodness organization as Jimmy Carter would let you believe, no way. This organization is only interested in stealing macaroni their new diet.
Steal funds for more bombs and terroristic supplies, you have to be kidding. Not these guys, they are merely a political action group. They are not into anything like that. Their primary function is works of charity.
Last seen they were sending rockets into Israel. Not your Mother Teresa type charity.

I would be happy with a $900,000,000.00 pledge. Heck, I’ll be happy with $900,000.00! Where is this money being handed out? Can I become a “refugee”? I hear that the refugees have their own homes. My family and I don’t — Where’s my cash?

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE AND SHOULD BE USED AS EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT IMPEACHMENT OR EVISCERATION OF OBAMA FROM THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!
ALL AMERICAN AID TO THE “PALS OF SATAN” SHOULD HAVE BEEN CUT OFF ON SEPT. 11 OR 12, 2001 WHEN THE “PALS OF SATAN” CELEBRATED THE MASS MURDERS IN NEW YORK, WASHINGTON AND PENNSYLVANIA.
THIS SHOULD BE A WARNIG TI ISRAEL THAT IT IS GOING TO BE HAVING TO BECOME MORE AGGRESSIVE TO THE “PALS OF SATAN” AND THUMB ITS NOSE AT THE UNITED STATES AND THE NAZI/SOVIET SOCIALISTS IN THE U.S. CONGRESS.
MORE USE OF GENOCIDAL ATTRITION WARFARE AGAINST THE “PALS OF SATAN” IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE USED AS OBAMA IS SHOWING HIS TRUE COLORS AND ALLEGIANCES.
ISRAEL FOREVER!!!!!!!!!! PALESTINE NEVER!!!!!!!!!!
