On Bernie Sanders' Mid-East "Peace" Plan

He would like to stop sending military aid to Israel (the USA's greatest ally in the Middle East) and give it to Hamas ruled Gaza instead.


1. The governance of the Gaza Strip is carried out by the Hamas administration. By sending money to Gaza the money falls into the hands of Hamas like how it has in the past. Hamas is a terrorist organization that has withheld foreign aid from the Palestinians so sending aid to them would actually be extremely irresponsible. Last I heard the USA classifies Hamas as a terrorist organization so how would sending money to them be acceptable? Also, this would be taxpayer money and I’m personally not in favor of helping people who celebrated 9/11. ðŸ˜¡ Not quite sure why he is. These are people who stated after all that they refuse to live alongside Jews and sing about murdering all of us (like actually kindergarten graduations revolve around this concept- Anti-Semitism and Anti-Western values is a part of their culture like how super-sizing everything is part of American culture. Nonchalant.)

2. Israel is America’s greatest ally in the Middle East. Even if it wasn’t, how does Sanders feel it is morally honest to give terrorists the opportunity to attack more innocent Israeli civilians? The USA has benefited greatly from Israel receiving this aid, as Israel shares the same values and goals as the USA and acts on both countries’ interests in the region and beyond. 
3. Gaza was given to the Palestinians for peace in 2005. Thousands of Israelis and millions worth of crops/greenhouses were destroyed. Why should Israel suffer because the Palestinians elected Hamas, which uses the Palestinians as human shields and refuses to give the Palestinians simple humanitarian necessities?
