The Biden administration privately confirmed to Congress last week that the Palestinian Authority has continued to use international aid money to reward terrorists but said the finding won’t impact its plans to restart funding.
In a non-public State Department report obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, the administration said the Palestinians spent at least $151 million in 2019 on its “pay-to-slay” program, in which international aid dollars are spent to support imprisoned terrorists and their families. Financial statements further indicate that at least $191 million was spent on “deceased Palestinians referred to as ‘martyrs.’” Despite this practice, which violates U.S. law and prompted the Trump administration to freeze aid to the Palestinians, the “Biden-Harris Administration has made clear its intent to restart assistance to the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza,” according to the report.
It remains unclear how the Biden administration will restart American aid without violating a 2018 bipartisan law known as the Taylor Force Act, which prohibits the U.S. government from resuming Palestinian aid until the payments to terrorists are stopped. The latest report on the matter is likely to rankle pro-Israel lawmakers in Congress who see the payments as a gift to the Palestinian government as it continues to sponsor terrorism and foment anti-Israel hatred.

Anyone in their right mind would know that giving these criminal lunatics one nickel makes no sense at all…but we don’t have people in their right mind running the country.
The haste of gain gives us cross bet. My family has not been to Israel yet my brother who turned from orthodoxy has been there several times.
The state of Israel is encouraging the young to visit and make ‘aliyeh’ when it only is mass tourism and no prayer is said even a session with a rabbinic holly sefer to offer Torah honors.
The roads we set can be startling but bearing the commerce of its greatness, family time is failing and children still return from their pilgrimage to desecrate further on all soil and state.
Our milk and honey is turning the gainful to drum up unorthodox gain and we are no better because bibi wishes an arid look at iewish self-identity.
I never saw so much rude but in an ancient planet, the good redeems and the bread is kept. Maybe with passover, observant jews can discuss why your thousand dollars to visit the Wall is better spending for books so you can learn to daven. Then you CAN make aliyeh and serve a commandment.
