Aren't the other EU nations also withholding funding? Why is this just an America thing?

Yoiu may want to look at my post again - I wasn't criticizing the withholding of aid, I was saying that withholding was ineveitable. I don't think we had any choice.
The EU also withheld aid, though they made a few emergency loans and the like in the early days of the new government. For the EU, I'm not sure it was politically inevitable that they withhold aid.
The real criticism ought to be focused at Israel, which withheld the government's own tax money. It's one thing to say, "it's our money, and we don't want to give it to a Hamas led government" and another to say, "it's your money, but go screw yourself - we're not letting you have it."
