But the REAL origin comes from Obama's revised policy on Gaza, announced June 20:
“The president has described the situation in Gaza as unsustainable and has made clear that it demands fundamental change.”
He continues by describing his plan to give roughly $200 million to Gaza as “a down payment on the US commitment to the people of Gaza, who deserve a chance to take part in building a viable, independent state of Palestine, together with those who live in the West Bank.”
In other words, he is legitimizing Hamas as the government in Gaza after they overthrew Fatah and displaced the Palestinian Authority.
Such a "gift" has been compared to
the US making a commitment to help the people of North Vietnam during the Vietnam War or North Korea during the Korean War by pouring in money and goods unconditionally, saying this would help lead to a moderate unified state.

What is going on here?
Legitimizing terrorists who advocate the annihilation of our closest Middle East ally?
When did this become our policy? We have supported a "2-state solution" for as lomg as the Pa;estinian conflict, and Israel have existed.
Now, we turn our backs on these friends, too. Just like Poland and the Czech Republic.
