Should the U.S. Provide Funds to Support Hamas?

Jimmy Carter: Stop Favoring Fatah Over Hamas (From Newsmax.com)

Former President Jimmy Carter says the U.S. should stop favoring the Fatah movement of Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas over the terrorist organization Hamas.

Addressing a conference of Irish human rights officials, Carter also said the Bush administration's refusal to accept Hamas’ 2006 election victory was "criminal."

Hamas fighters routed Fatah and seized control of the Gaza Strip last week. Abbas then dissolved the power-sharing government with Hamas and set up a Fatah-led administration to govern the West Bank.

Carter said the decision by the U.S., Israel and the European Union to reopen direct aid to the new government in the West Bank, but to deny aid to the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, represented an "effort to divide Palestinians into two peoples,” according to the Jerusalem Post.
