Hamas is a despicable terrorist organization that is designed to destroy the state of Israel. If I could stamp them out tomorrow, if I had the power to do it, I would do it.
The King of Jordan is a huge ally to us. Why make his life difficult in a way that doesn't achieve the type of result that ultimately we and Israel are looking for, which is a negotiated two-state outcome?
And all I would suggest is, if you are going to do that--which, obviously, your bill stands for that--then at least have round two figured out on how you are going to achieve your purpose, which is minimize terrorism, not enhance it.
Separation into two states, following the Security First plan, is essential for Israel to remain a democratic, Jewish-majority state.
