From: melsant@vipac.org Date: Fri 4 Nov 2005 Subject: Support Israel! Bush funding for Hamas is criminal!(VIPAC) Dear Mr. President: The United States has a short list of officially recognized terror organizations. It is a federal offense to financially support any one of those organizations. Hamas is on that short list of terror organizations. Hamas is also due to your administration's insistence running for political offices in the Palestinian Arab Authority election scheduled for this coming January 25th. In recent municipal elections in the PA-controlled town of Qalqilya Hamas terrorists were elected to become the city's mayor as well as to fill each seat of the city council. In the upcoming Jan 25th election for the PA Hamas will compete for additional offices and gain more political power. Yet your administration's annual dole exceeding 200 million dollars to the Palestinian Arab Authority has not ceased for a moment despite the growing power of Hamas in the PA. Mr. President this is a crime. Not only in the technical legal sense of violating federal antiterrorism statutes but in the larger moral sense as well. Your funding of Hamas with American tax dollars while Hamas continues its terror campaign that has murdered and crippled hundreds of innocent Americans and Israelis is a sin every as much as it is a crime. And the magnitude of that sin and that crime will only increase as Hamas' role and power in the PA increases. Please Mr. President end your illegal and immoral funding of the PA. Return to a path of moral clarity so that America's fight for survival against Islamist terror can be a consistent sustainable and victorious effort for free people everywhere. Sincerely |
