Hamas is listed by the U.S. as a terrorist organization. Palestinians voted for Hamas to lead them. The United States spends millions of dollars a year supporting Palestinians (via our funding of UNRWA) to the tune of about $300 million dollars...yet Palestinians hate us. Why do we continue to fund them?
See

for funding of UNRWA.

Perhaps because not all Palestinians are terrorists or members of Hamas? Most Palestinians are just trying to live life and have what we all want - independence, freedom from oppression and a place to call our own.

Giving aid and funding are too totally different subjects. We give aid to Africa, that doesnt mean we fund there Civil Wars. Aid is civillian bases; food, supplies, ect.. While funding is what we do w/ Israel.
