American Policy Gives Hamas the Edge in the Long Term

The White House has asked Congress for $14.3 billion to support Israel, much of it designated as humanitarian aid funding. Biden has reiterated in Israel and in a speech to Americans that the United States stands behind the Jewish state in its fight with Hamas.

That all seems just and right. But it is the short term. In the long term, U.S. policy — its investments, commitments, and subsidies — is still set to favor Hamas or whatever monsters succeed it.
