The U.S. provides assistance to train Palestinian Authority Security Forces, pursuant to our, and Israel's, obligations under the Oslo accords. We do not fund any Palestinian political parties.

You're right about Hamas, but Fatah praised the US' assassination of Bin Laden. Fatah are not a terror group either but a legitimate political party, unlike Hamas which is unquestionably a terrorist group. While Fatah has roots in a terrorist group of the past they are no longer considered a terrorist group by anyone. If you're going to refer to them as a terror group than you should also refer to Yisrael Beitanu and even Likud as terror groups, because Yisrael Beitanu has ties to current terror groups in the West Bank settler movement - in fact, Avigdor Lieberman belonged to a group still on the US State Department terrorist list which should make him barred from entering the US. Likud, like Fatah, has its origins in a terrorist group of the past.

If we didn't send Israel billions we wouldn't have to give aid to the Palestinians either. How about cutting both of them loose?

Re: the Muslim Brotherhood, they have some very messed up views, but they're like the tea party of Egypt. Egyptians who vote for them would vote stupidly, but in a democracy people have the right to vote stupidly. Denying Egyptians the vote because they'd vote for the Muslim Brotherhood is like denying Americans the vote because they'd vote for tea party candidates.

I don't think Trump is a friend of Obama.
The others you mentioned are all Jews except for Ayers, and he's married to a Jew.
As Americans, Ayers, Trump, Stern, Dohrn, and the Code Pink women all have the right to speak their minds about Middle East issues. Should only citizens of Middle Eastern countries have the right to talk about those issues and not Americans?

You are spreading misinformation. Fatah is not a terror group. The US wanted them to win the elections, but Hamas ended up winning, and then Bush funneled millions of dollars and truck loads of weapons to Fatah to make them stronger. Now they seem to be considering teaming up with Hamas, which would mean that all our support was wasted.

The Muslim Brotherhood also said that bin Laden should have been captured and tried. And have reiterated that bin Laden was in no way representative of the Islamic faith.

Most of those doubters are progressives so I doubt they will change their minds before the US is taken down.
