House Democrats have tucked a $226 million gift to Palestinians into “Megabus #1,” a massive House-passed appropriations measure awaiting Senate action. Incredibly, Democrats did so despite a surge this year in Palestinian Authority (PA) payments to terrorists who kill Israelis.

Last year, the PA doled out $340 million to terrorists who have attacked, wounded and killed innocent Israelis—mostly civilians. But through May of this year, the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) “pay to slay” blood-money payments have soared 12 percent, according to Palestinian Media Watch.

And Mahmoud Abbas, the petty tyrant who runs the West Bank as PA president, defiantly refuses to stop. He treats these terrorists like heroes. And when these Palestinian thugs are killed, they become celebrated “martyrs.” Their families get a huge financial windfall.

But Democrats want to give away millions more. And that means your tax dollars will help fund terror attacks against Israelis.

Not directly, of course. But that $226 million in taxpayer aid will free up other funds, making it easier for the Palestinian Authority to keep on giving millions to terrorists who have killed or maimed innocent Israelis—including children.

President Trump wiped out funding for the Palestinian Authority last year, but Democrats want to bring it back. They want to reward Palestinian intransigence with your hard-earned tax dollars.

That’s why you and I must speak out. And I am asking for your immediate response.

The Senate returns tomorrow, and I want to have the inboxes of key senators stuffed with pointed messages when they get back. You can help make that happen right now using CIDI’s fax Congress service.

+  +  This will trigger bloody violence

A gift of $226 million that will enable Palestinian "pay-to-slay" is not the only outrageous item the Democrats have embedded into the massive "Megabus #1" appropriations bill. Let me tell you about one more . . .

The appropriations package also endorses the so-called "two-state solution" to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Frankly, it should be called the “two-state failure.” That’s because it’s been proposed repeatedly but always without success—and at times it’s been a trigger for bloody violence.

In fact, the GOP rejected the two-state solution from its party platform in 2016. But fans of this failed idea--also known as "land for peace"--tout it as the only possible solution. But it's been in circulation since at least 1937. And despite successive attempts to make "land for peace" work, all attempts have always failed.

Worse, bloodshed has followed. In the case of the Oslo agreements, the two-state formula ushered in a period of bloody Palestinian uprisings. And when Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza in 2005, ceding the coastal strip in a naive bid for peace, Palestinians showed their gratitude by showering the Jewish state with rockets and missiles.

+  +  Fax the Senate today!

Again, the Senate comes back tomorrow, and with your help, we can stuff the inboxes of key Senators with faxed messages opposing these dangerous anti-Israel proposals.

It’s urgent that we act now! These proposals could become law unless we speak out. And the place to make our message heard is the Senate.

You can reach key senators today with a pre-written message using our fax Congress service.

Please join me and others telling senators not to let these dangerous, anti-Israel provisions become law.

The Senate is the one place where you and I can stop this--but that won't happen unless we speak out. You can do that right now by sending a pre-written fax telling senators to remove these anti-Israel provisions from the "Megabus #1" House appropriations package.

And act now to get your message in front of Senators tomorrow upon their return to Washington. Join me in telling the Senate to strip out these failed and dangerous anti-Israel provisions.

As you do, your generous support will be greatly appreciated to help us fight for Israel on Capitol Hill and throughout America!

Thank you for your love for Israel and your partnership with CIDI!

Together for Israel,

Mat Staver
Chairman
