Obama's last act
Send $220 million to the Palestinian Authority. An act in clear defiance of GOP and Trump in particular, a strong Israeli supporter.
Surely not even bluelabrador can find fault in that!

Can see a fair number of countries are going to tell trump that he can clear his armed forces bases from their land if he's going to tear up trade agreements they may have with the usa.

Contrast $220million to the following:Gaza reels from electricity crisis
"A shortage of electricity is a chronic problem in the Gaza Strip. Electricity infrastructure was targeted and destroyed during multiple Israeli military offensives over the past 10 years and cannot be repaired due to Israeli restrictions on the import of materials and spare parts to Gaza. Further restrictions on the import of fuel combined with a lack of funds have conspired over several years to create an acute crisis.
But even by Gaza’s desperate standards, the situation this winter has reached a new low. Frequent power cuts have left Palestinians in Gaza with just three hours of electricity at a time and anywhere between 12 and 18 hours of blackouts every day and have impacted nearly all facets of life..."

Re: Obama's last act
This money was approved by a Republican congress. Not that that will stop the partisans and hatemongers.
