In all, the world gave the Palestinian Authority $1.1 billion in 2013. With a population of 4.7 million, the aid comes to $234 per person, per year. For a family of four or five or six, this amounts to a princely subsidy, if ever the people could see the money before the Palestinian Authority steals it.

Obama and Hillary have sought to appease Arab anger over the West Bank by justifying their complaints and drawing a parallel between Palestinian terrorism, which murders innocents, and Israel’s construction of homes for Jews in the region. Every time a terror attack kills Israelis—and often Americans too—Obama and Hillary say that Israel shared part of the blame because it enraged the Arabs by helping Jewish settlers build homes on the West Bank. This rationale ignores completely the fact that the real epicenter of Palestinian terror is Gaza, where, in 2005, Israel pursued the very policy Obama and Hillary want them to adopt on the West Bank. Back then, Israel forced the Jewish settlements to close down and pulled out all of its troops. But the withdrawal didn’t stop the terror attacks on Israel. It just gave the terrorists a new base from which to operate.

Obama and Hillary have given the Arab terrorists what they lack and so desperately seek: legitimacy for their hateful anti-Semitic point of view. At the State Department, Hillary urged a so-called two-state solution (Israeli and Palestinian) based on the pre-1967 war borders of Israel. Those borders left Israel with a waist of only nine miles, a border Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu called “indefensible,” noting that it left Israel with a width that was only “half the width of the Washington Beltway.” He added, “These were not the boundaries of peace; they were the boundaries of repeated wars, because the attack on Israel was so attractive.”20

Hillary and Obama began the new administration by demanding that Israel stop all construction on West Bank settlements, where over half a million Jews now live. Their idea was that the building was a de facto effort by Israel to annex the West Bank permanently by creating a Jewish majority.

Even Hillary admitted what a mistake her anti-Israel policy was. In her memoir of her State Department years, Hard Choices, she writes, “For the Israelis, we requested that they freeze all settlement construction in the Palestinian territories without exception. In retrospect, our early hard line on settlements didn’t work. Israel initially refused our request, and our disagreement played out in public, becoming a highly personal standoff between President Obama and Netanyahu, with the credibility of both leaders on the line.”21 She added, “This demand hardened [Mahmoud] Abbas’s position at the negotiating table, as the Palestinian leader could now credibly argue that halting settlements was not simply a Palestinian demand but a precondition laid down by the United States and the White House’s official position. This move by the U.S. snatched a major bargaining chip out of the hands of Israeli negotiators.
