We aren't enacting sanctions against the Palestinians, we are just not giving them money. Where is the law that says we are responsible for funding the government of the Palestinians. Beyond that, all that we are asking in return for resuming aid payments is that Hamas act like a legitimate government and renounce it's terrorist ways, not that they give us their resources or let us build bases on their land or any other substantive concession. I for one am perfectly happy to not have American tax dollars sent to terrorist organizations, and I am saddend to read that we have decided to give in to Hamas and resume payments.

I agree with you that we don't have a moral obligation to fund the Hamas-led government. Posting an article doesn't mean I agree with it, I think I've made that clear in the past.

However, he's right on point that it has generated more hostility and distrust of the U.S. in the Muslim world, because the perception is that the U.S. is a hypocrite to be promoting democracy in the ME and then reject it once undesirable actors take power.
