Also to say that these actions equate to America stoking a "Palestinian Civil War" are completely false and offbase. The two factions needed no help in fighting and running each other out of each others terrority akin to Iraqi sectarian violence where Hamas runs Gaza and Fatah runs the West Bank.
Also I don't see who this is an impeachable offense. We are supplying arms to the Palestinian government technically.

Fatah, the political party, is who we apparently gave arms to, for the express purpose of overthrowing the Hamas-led (democratically elected) government. That's not giving the Palestinian government weapons. It's exactly the equivalent of if the French government sent of truckload of AK-47's from Mexico to the Democratic National Committee so they could drive the Republican-led government out of Washington. How could that be anything but stoking an American Civil War?
