Open Letter To President Obama

Submitted by Tom Quigan (United States), Mar 3, 2009 at 15:25

Dear President Obama,

Are you seriously planning on spending almost a billion American tax dollars to "re-build" Gaza? Do you realize that the Middle East OPEC nations have used the Palestinians as political pawns to deflect their oppression of minorities and women by inciting hatred of America, Christians, Jews and Israel?

The Gaza Palestinians elected the irredentist Hamas terrorists to lead their government. Saudi Arabia funds madrasas, mosques and al-Manar TV teaching hatred of the West in Gaza encouraging the shelling of Israel. Saudi Arabian incitement resulted in the war damage. How does this insanity wind up on America's tab?

How about having the perpetrators of violence, war and hatred pay for their own destruction? Expecting the American people, the recipients of Saudi Arabia generated hatred, to pay for the Palestinian's self-inflicted war damage is bizarre on its face.

You can't be serious about funding this nonsense.

Sincerely, Tom Quigan
