Stupid Obama administration throws taxpayer money in the toilet. So let's get this straight: Hamas is a recognized terrorist organization and the elected government of Gaza. And the USA will be giving 50 million dollars to the people who dig tunnels into Israel in their attempts to kill and kidnap Israelis. The USA has no business giving a penny to Gaza. I can't wait for Trump to get into office: the open wallet will be slammed closed and never again will American money find its way into the hands of Hamas. Can Obama be arrested for financially supporting Gaza?

The US is again doing all it can to discourage the Palestinians from negotiating with Israel. Hamas will find a way to use these resources to escalate attacks, and the poor people of Gaza will be the big losers, as usual.

We have people living in proverty in Niles, Illinois minus Chicago; and, yet we give money to a part of Israel where the persons of that region does nothing but shot rockets at Israel. To begin with the area know as Gaza is supposed to be a buffer zone let Israel make it one because it belongs to the state.

Netanyahu must have had Dermer begging the Establishment Republicans in Congress for months to bail out Israel from Israeli responsibility as occupying authority. This could not be done by Obama. The US system does not work that way.Spending comes from US House, not the Presidency.. Americans should re-take US Government if they didn't know, and burn their HS diploma.

That's $50m that will either be poured into tunnels to attack Israel, fly over the border in the direction of Israeli cities or end up in the bank accounts of corrupt politicians. Either way one thing is for sure, the local population will not benefit from a single cent.

Great now they can hire more tunnel diggers, rocket makers and rocket crews. Thanks Obama FU2

just give them weapons directly? Same Difference!

Ah, you can't wait until Trump gets into office. "The open wallet will be slammed", you say. No more free American money. So no more free 3 billion dollars a year to Israel, i presume. Correct?

and the 50 million will be used for tunnels and killing both pals and Jews. meanwhile obama holds up the $$ to Israel.

should be great fun to make Gaza into a complete waste land. Not enough damage was done in "Protective edge.' This should make obama cry like the baby he is and fill his pants up to past full.

Tell BHO people in Newark NJ are as out of work as mid eastern terrorists. Stop borrowing my sons's future income to support anti democratic forces

Unemployment in Gaza has been about 40% since Jews left Gaza in 2005. The money that pours into Gaza goes to fund Hamas and those working in the terror trade.

We finally agree, however the US should stop giving aid to all countries. We are cutting our military budget to the bone and offering Israel almost 4 billion dollars a year and also paying almost 100 percent of the iron dome budget. The money we give out could be spent on American cities and the American military. Israel is a wealthy country that would be better off without American military or diplomatic aid and protection. Israel would be better off without the American veto. Israel would seek more of a balanced foreign policy with other countries that vote against it ( almost all). On another note, you can blame Bibi for his backstabbing approach to the American people by trying to undermine our president. We might not agree with some of his policies, however we will choose him over a foreign leader that shows he hates people of color and Americans.

This act of Obamaidiocy is like America having offered $50M to Hitler in world war 2 to improve his cooking ovens.

False gullibility?!

If Israelis want a change than go on the streets in peaceful protest. Either stand with the government so it can do its job against foreign and internal pressure, or stand against it so someone can be elected who can get the job done.

ignorant or did you to college to get so stupid? Bibi hates Americans and colored people? Where the heck did you come up with such tripe? Most of the GOP supported Bibi's speech (along with a few semi intelligent Dumbocrats).We give Israel money because it's in our best interest! It is an investment in our own defense and the ongoing fight against Islamo Fascist Terrorism.

Congress decides how and where US money is spent. Congress is run by Republicans, Establishment Republicans. They bow only to Netanyahu and would not spend money on poverty or anything else for Americans with Obama as President. Why do you think they oppose rebuilding US infrastructure? Obama and his administration only get only to announce stuff approved already by Congressional Republicans because Congressional Republicans don't have ambassadors or consular.officials.

When was the last time Israel deployed its forces to protect Americans? You are the ignorant one believing such "tripe". Israel's only concern is protecting it's borders and that is a good policy that we should adopt as well, but not pay for. We invaded (republican idiots) Iraq to protect our borders and look where that has gotten us. More than a trillion dollars spent, almost 5000 deaths and a fractured middle east that is in the worst shape it has ever been because of war mongering bone head republicans that believed we can invade an Arab country and install American style Democracy with a McDonald's on every corner. Wishful thinking at it's best. We need to rebuild America's military, seal it's borders and fix our infrastructure and solve our inner city problems, That's the way to move forward not passing out checks on borrowed money. imagine if we spent that trillion on the American military and infrastructure.
