If there’s one phrase that pops to mind to describe the state of U.S.-Palestinian relations under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, it’s “stuck on stupid.” Let me explain.
Just two years ago, Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas stood next to Joe Biden in Bethlehem. An aging autocrat who funds terror, tortures Palestinians, and supports jihad against Jews, Abbas welcomed Biden “as a dear guest of Palestine, in the city of Bethlehem, the cradle of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
“We are not terrorists,” Abbas told Biden in that 2022 meeting, Instead, he insisted on the Palestinian commitment to “fighting terrorism in our region.”
But just days before Biden arrived, Abbas HIKED the payments the Palestinian Authority makes to hundreds of terrorists who attack and kill innocent Israelis!
STOP FUNDING THIS MADNESS! Tell Congress to CUT OFF ALL FUNDING TO the PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY!
Joe, in turn, waxed rhapsodic about prospects for peace, as he called for “two states for two peoples ... living side by side in peace and security.”
He also handed out taxpayer dollars, announcing even more U.S. funding for Palestinians — some 800 million dollars!
But here’s the twist ...
Last month in Istanbul, Abbas railed against the U.S. in a speech to the Turkish Parliament.
An unelected tyrant who Biden/Harris prop up, Abbas praised the late Hamas terrorist Ismail Haniyeh and called Hamas terrorists who die fighting Israel “martyrs.” Abbas also bit the hand that feeds him.
“America is the plague and the plague is America,” Abbas told Turkey’s Parliament, which answered with applause.
That’s what billions in U.S. aid will buy you in the wacky, toxic Palestinian world.
Outrageous. But here’s what makes all this so “stupid” and surreal.
Despite these insults, despite Palestinian hate for America, despite the Palestinian’s poisonous malice for Israel, the Biden/Harris administration still doles out your tax dollars and mine on Abbas and his cronies — 674 million dollars so far this year!
That’s what I mean by “stuck on stupid.”
It’s time for this to END. But to make that happen, you and I must make our voice heard at full decibel.
