Obama: Everyone else first, America last.

No wonder they lost.

I wonder how many Jews they are going to kill with that money.

Not enough to please the neonazi in the Trump camp!

But dummy did you notice:

$1:

Congress had initially approved the Palestinian funding in budget years 2015 and 2016

Congress is majority Republican.

C'mon Beave, nut up.

Post the whole thought.

$1:

Congress had initially approved the Palestinian funding in budget years 2015 and 2016, but at least two GOP lawmakers - Ed Royce of California, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Kay Granger of Texas, who sits on the House Appropriations Committee - had placed holds on it over moves the Palestinian Authority had taken to seek membership in international organizations. Congressional holds are generally respected by the executive branch but are not legally binding after funds have been allocated.

Granger released a statement Tuesday saying, "I am deeply disappointed that President Obama defied congressional oversight and released $221 million to the Palestinian territories."

She added: "I worked to make sure that no American taxpayer dollars would fund the Palestinian Authority unless very strict conditions were met. While none of these funds will go to the Palestinian Authority because of those conditions, they will go to programs in the Palestinian territories that were still under review by Congress. The Obama Administration's decision to release these funds was inappropriate."
