Florida Governor Ron DeSantis voiced strong objections to President Joe Biden’s recent announcement to allocate $100 million in humanitarian assistance to Gaza and the West Bank. This announcement came during Biden’s trip to Israel.
DeSantis expressed concerns that the funds might not reach the Gazan citizens who are in dire need. “We know Hamas is going to commandeer that money and use it to advance terrorism,” DeSantis said in a video statement, further emphasizing, “I say no U.S. tax dollars to the Gaza Strip.”
Highlighting another concern, DeSantis mentioned that Hamas is currently holding American hostages in Gaza. He called on his Republican peers, especially those seeking the party’s presidential nomination, to support his stance.
In defense of his decision, Biden clarified that the money aims to “support more than 1 million displaced and conflict-affected Palestinians,” addressing urgent needs in Gaza, such as food, water, shelter, and medical care.
TRUMP: “Biden is sending $100 million to the Palestinians? I think right now it’s totally inappropriate. […] He’s over in Israel and he’s giving money to the Palestinians. I think it’s very inappropriate.”

cmon give me a break really why not give that money instead to the family of those israelis who were either killed or kidnapped or wounded some president that he is no better than hitler y h right
LeahShvitzer: Stop with the Hitler comparisons….they demean you as well as disrespect the kadoship who were niftar in the shoah.
The $100 million is the reality of a political tradeoff that will allow $20 billion in aid to Israel to move quickly through congress….
GHD, the Hitler comparisons are EXACTLY ON POINT, because Hamas is an offshoot of the Moslem Brotherhood, which was founded in the 1930s and consciously modeled on the Nazi Party. It, along with the “Palestinians” and the Iraqis, was allied with Germany in the war, and ever since Germany surrendered its Arab allies have simply been continuing the job. So Hamas IS Hitler, and Biden is enabling it.
