Please eliminate all U.S. funding for the Palestinian Authority and its affiliated organizations. Such funding is illegal under the Taylor Force Act and fuels terrorism against Israel.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is an illegitimate and unelected despot accused by Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International of serious human rights violations, including arbitrary arrests and torture. He is supreme commander of the U.S.-trained-and-funded Palestinian Authority Security Forces, whose ranks include terrorists who spend their off hours attacking Israelis. The PA funnels more than $300 million annually to reward terrorists who kill or injure innocent Israelis. Add to that, Abbas blasted the U.S. in August, telling the Turkish Parliament: “America is the plague, and the plague is America.”

It is absurd and nightmarish to send my taxpayer dollars to a terror-soaked organization that exists to destroy Israel. As an American who loves Israel, I strongly ask that Congress immediately cut all U.S. aid to the Palestinian Authority.
