Israel Pushes Back at "Pay to Slay"
Palestinian Authority (PA) blood-money payments to terrorists in 2021 were at least 270 million dollars — and the bounty the PA pays for dead or wounded Jewish Israelis keeps on coming, thanks to Joe Biden’s unlawful generosity with U.S. taxpayers’ money.
The good news is that the Republican-led House of Representatives holds the power of the purse … meaning they can starve Joe Biden of the funds he wants to send Palestinian killers. Please fax Congress NOW and demand they DEFUND BIDEN’S PALESTINIAN HIT MEN! Then read on for the news. —Mat
The PA offers monthly payments of 400 to 3,500 dollars to Palestinians who murder or attempt to murder an innocent Israeli. That is big money in Palestinian society since a lifetime salary of 3,500 dollars a month is “four times the average Palestinian wage and eight times higher than the minimum wage,” according to Israeli researcher Yossi Kuperwasser.
Fed up with the PA’s terror funding operation, Israel has adopted an anti-pay-for-slay law authorizing the government to withhold Palestinian tax revenue from the PA. And just last month, Israel’s new government seized 39 million in Palestinian tax revenues, redirecting the money to the families of Israelis who have been devastated by Palestinian terror.
Israel’s finance minister called it “justice.”
But Team Biden — which says nothing about the millions Palestinians give to terrorists with Israeli blood on their hands — condemned Israel’s action. A State Department spokesman whined that the Israeli action was a “unilateral response” that will “exacerbate tensions” and frustrate movement toward a “negotiated two-state solution.”
The State Department spokesman didn’t explain why Israel should make peace with an enemy spending 270 million dollars annually to entice terrorists into butchering Israelis. But he did warn the U.S. would confront Israel about sending Palestinian tax revenue to Israeli terror victims.
Team Biden, by the way, knows full well that the Palestinians are spending heavily to reward brutal, vicious, and blood-soaked terrorists with millions in so-called “pay-for-slay” dollars. Biden’s own State Department published a report in May 2022 disclosing that the Palestinians paid out 341 million to terrorists and their families in 2019.
And yet Joe Biden is still sending your tax dollars and mine to a bloodthirsty, Israel-hating criminal enterprise that has no interest in peace with Israel. Instead, the Palestinians want to destroy the Jewish state entirely, replacing it with the state of “Palestine,” the borders of which would extend “from the River to the Sea.”
Because of Biden’s anti-Israel State Department, American tax dollars are subsidizing vicious terrorists who attack innocent Jewish men, women, and children. President Donald Trump eliminated all aid to the Palestinians. But Biden brought it back with a vengeance. Now the new House Republican majority must act to cut all aid again.
Stand with Israel and God’s chosen people! Make your voice heard!
Together, let’s call on House GOP leaders to exercise the power of the purse to deny Biden ANY funding for the Palestinian Authority ... and terror. Fax the NOT ONE MORE DIME! SLASH PALESTINIAN AID TO ZERO! petition to Congress NOW.
I am very grateful for your friendship and support. Thank you!
May God bless you for standing with Israel!
