"The United States has today announced in Washington that it is suspending direct financial aid to the Hamas-led Palestinian government while increasing humanitarian aid to the Palestinians through U.N. agencies.

Because the new Hamas-led Palestinian government has failed to accept the Quartet principles of non-violence, recognition of Israel, and respect for previous agreements between the parties, the United States is suspending assistance to the Palestinian government's cabinet and ministries," said State Department spokesman Sean McCormack."

Good policy. No point in funding terrorists, nor would anything good come of it.

It's about time...and just a start.

Next, we should cut funding to the U.N.
