Why support those who want our destruction?

I did not believe what I heard today, so I spent some time researching. To my everlasting dismay, I find it’s true. Our president issued Presidential Determination No. 2009-15 in January, which will send $20.3M of our tax dollars to Gaza (Hamas) for,” … urgent refugee and migration needs….” I’m not making this up. Check the Federal Registry. This in addition to $120M already approved by this congress, if I read the Congressional Research Service report correctly.

Again, if I read correctly, taxpayers will foot the bill for supporting (housing, food) Palestinians who immigrate to America. Since over 50% of Palestinians voted for Hamas, just whom are we letting in?

Congress has expressed concerns that some of these tax dollars may be funneled to terrorist organizations. Well, duh! Our president and our congress send millions of our tax dollars to people who lust for the destruction of Israel and the United States? Our tax dollars at work!

I love my country. I love my flag. But I have to wonder… what are our leaders doing?

God bless America and God bless our troops.
