“Palestinians” say Australia’s decision to withhold funds over payments to jihad murderers is a “declaration of war”

Jul 6, 2018 9:57 am By Robert Spencer

Advanced victimhood posturing: finance our payments to the killers of Israeli civilians, or we will accuse you of going to war against us.

“Palestinians: Australian Decision to Withhold Funds ‘Declaration of War,'” by Chris Mitchell, CBN, July 6, 2018:

JERUSALEM, Israel – The Palestinian Authority accused Australia of making a declaration of war following its decision to withhold financial aid to the PA if it continues to reward terrorists and their families. It’s one more nation pressuring the PA to stop a policy many call “pay to slay.”

The controversial policy provides money to convicted Palestinian terrorists and their families for attacks on Israelis. The payments coming from this fund add up to more than $330 million each year.

Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop objected to the policy saying, “I am concerned that in providing funds for this aspect of the PA’s operation, there is an opportunity for it to use its own budget to [fund] activities that Australia would never support.”

Senior Palestinian official Hanan Ashrawi called Bishop’s statement “extremely insulting.”

“Australia now is just doing the bidding of the US unfortunately and Julie Bishop’s statement is extremely insulting and it shows the utmost ignorance of the realities of Palestinians living under a cruel and brutal and illegal Israeli occupation,” she said.

Australia’s decision follows America’s lead in passing the Taylor Force Act that also withholds aid until the PA ends the terror payments. Congress named the law after Taylor Force, an American citizen killed in a 2016 terror attack in Israel….

      The only ” REAL PALESTINIANS are Jews! This land was given to them by GOD..So the rag tag bunch of tent dwellers who are there are not the real Palestinians. Anyway concerning the statement that Australia is st war with them means and nothing..These invaders of Palestine have always been st war with anyone who objects to their invasion of the Jews land. They need to be glad that they are allowed to live in Palestine instead of fighting Israel st every turn.

How do you think your cult grew but by convert or die and rape jihad. No worries the day of your female hating rape and murder cult are coming to an end soon enough.

        Where do Palestinians get the idea that Israel is their country? The Bible makes no mention of Palestinians yet, Jews are mentioned throughout the Bible. It’s time for Palestinians to stop playing victim, for the past 70years, and try to contribute positively.

    No “Tribute” to the Phony Palestinians. Australia & all other Civilized Countries should cease paying Blackmail to Terrorists, or else, send Phony Money to a Phony Country.
    Phony-Palestinians became fat & Greedy under O’Stinker/O’Bama &
    they are mad as Hades that President Trump is cutting off their Blood Money.
    All the LEFT, including Leftist Jewish Persons & Muslims in America, who are egging these desert rats on to greater depravity, should be deprived of their American Citizenship. My Opinion!

    Nothing will really change. Bishop has chosen to send the money to the UN section of Jizya for Palestine – Humanitarian something or other – for women and children which sends most of the money to Gaza, so Guess Who will steal the aid and use it for rockets and weapons??

    This is an amusing article as Muslims are perpetually at war. Let’s face it, if all we who are hated, rejected, disrespected by Muslims were to suddenly vanish off the face of the earth, then they would regress to their former enemies to make war – their own kind. Just look at the tribalism and slaughter, Muslim by Muslim, elsewhere in the world, and specifically in Muslim dominated lands.

    The more the Palestinian leadership comments the sillier they look.
    The expression “What you are shouts out so loudly I can’t hear what you are saying” applies to them in spades.

    It’s good to see that Australia and the US are withholding support. Long, long overdue. No civilized nation should be supporting the so-called Palestinians, certainly not while they have the pay to slay policy. Intentionally murdering civilians is so far beyond the pale that the Palestinians should be totally rejected by the international community until they transform their whole underlying attitude. That may be impossible, though, because they are too attached to Islam as Muhammad taught it.

    • Savvy Kafir says

      Jul 6, 2018 at 11:21 am

      Agreed. No civilized nation should be giving ANY support to the Jew-hating, genocidal Palestinians. They should be international pariahs, instead of the perpetual “victims” they’ve become.

      Israel should not be expected to put up with its savage “Palestinian” neighbors — or with the Muslims living within its own borders.

  9. eduardo odraude says

    Jul 6, 2018 at 10:47 am

    Really, the civilized world probably should be at war with the Palestinians, as they are obviously making war on us.

    • Savvy Kafir says

      Jul 6, 2018 at 11:43 am

      The True Believers of Islam are making war on infidels around the world. (And millions of less committed Muslims are engaged in the Demographic Jihad, which is far more dangerous.)

      I just don’t know what it will take for our “leaders”, and the general public, to wake up to the fact that World War III is well underway — although, so far, it is a very one-sided conflict.

      • eduardo odraude says

        Jul 6, 2018 at 5:59 pm

        Yes.

        On the other hand, our culture is to some extent powerfully and increasingly subversive of of the Islamic.

        It may be that the ever advancing development of various communication technologies makes things harder and harder for dictatorships. On the other hand, what China is doing with technology in order to control its population is truly backward and barbaric, though Chinese rulers think themselves and their policies superior. Increasingly, every transaction a Chinese individual engages in, every book they read, ever failure to pay a bill, every engagement with a group considered dubious or impermissible by the Chinese dictatorship adds or detracts from a public score Chinese individuals are given. All of that is determined by government monitoring of electronic purchases and the like. If you have a high score and you socialize with someone with a low score, it may lower your score. The Chinese government is turning into an all-seeing all-powerful entity and Chinese society into a totalitarian enslavement system such as the world has never before seen. Their partial realism about capitalism — the individual freedom that capitalism requires — may yet save them one day, or perhaps the spread there of underground Christianity will eventually liberate the Chinese from dictatorship, but things there do not look good. I’m not optimistic about their economy in the long run either, despite the energy and intelligence of the Chinese population. In the long run, a totalitarian system lacks the means to keep up with innovation on the broadest front. Still, they have a tremendous number of engineers and scientists working hard on innovation and they are having some success. One hopes that technology will soon make it impossible for them to keep controlling communication. Such difficulties seem more likely to bedevil Islamic dictatorships, since people immersed in Islam are far less competent than are the Chinese.

      True. Americans had to come to Canada to get their cigars (and many did). Amazing how far the US would go to protect the Mafia’s interests. Wait a sec — there probably was some legitimate US investment in Cuba under Batista. I don’t think the United Fruit Company’s interests were involved though or the US likely would have been more aggressive.

      What slaughter? More muslims have died in Yemen’s civil “unrest” then all the Palestinian deaths at Israel’s hands since 1948. Rewrite THAT history if you can,
      What are the Palestinians “resisting”? They are resisting Israel leaving them alone. Their so called “resistence” simply means “terrorism”. It means “resisting” Israel’s existence. It means “resisting” any Jews being left alive in the region. Israel is the one “resisting” –RESISTING PALESTINIAN TERRORISM. Israel leaves them alone if they leave Israel alone.
      But you know all this Ibrahim you just pretend you are really, really stupid.
      Tell us where you stand on Yemen? How is that the fault of the US, Israel and the Jews?

    In other words, Muslims are *demanding* that we pay Jizya to fund Jihad–and if we don’t they will turn that Jihad directly on us.

    The good thing is that it is heartening to see Australia join the US on cutting aid that is going to pay Jihadists. Kudos, Australia!

    Don’t be fooled. Australia has many thousands of Islamic “charities”, all receiving government funding. It still filters through, just more indirectly.

    Just do a Google search on “Australian Islamic charities”, and you will see a small drop in the ocean.

    We have Arab banking in Australia – Sharia Loans etc, all fully supported by the government.

    Many hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars are thrown at Islamic nations every year under the guise of Foreign Aid. Australian taxpayers even propped up the Clinton Foundation.

    The claim of the Palestinian Authority is remarkable. “Not providing aid is a declaration of war”. All western nation should respond to this provocation by refusing to pay more aid to hostile ingrates.

    • tim gallagher says

      Jul 6, 2018 at 11:09 pm

      I agree, Terry. The Palestinian spokesman is certainly into hysterical overstatement. Not providing aid to them is a declaration of war! It’s such an insane overreaction and totally lacking in any kind of logic. This is a good sign from the Australian Government which generally seems to spend its time sucking up to MUslims and trying to appease them, probably because, even though a small proportion of our population, already cause far more trouble than any other group and are endlessly whingeing and whining and playing the victim. I’m sure the Australian Muslims would be whingeing to the government about this cut to aid. Or, as Robert says at the start of the article, indulging in “advanced victimhood posturing.” I agree with your calling them “hostile ingrates” and they should get nothing from any non-Muslims. After all, they are the enemy of non-Muslims everywhere.

    So who cares what this terrorist leader says? it’s never enough. His pockets are full and overflowing with “refugee” money and he can pay his hit men out of that.

    They have already said they are at “war” with all who refuse to bow to their demon god…”gog” as he is also known. One more statement of war and “funding” he thinks is his right, is just one more worthless use of words.

    If they want money to pay the terrorists’ families, let them work for it. Do something useful with their hands instead of shedding blood.

    As an Australian. I fully support my government’s decision to withhold all payments. I would also like that not a cent of my taxes goes to funding any Islamic councils, foundations or bonding sessions in my state or in my country. If Muslims want to re-create what they’ve left behind. Then they’re welcome to return to whence they came. Islam is not welcome in Australia. Deal with it.

      I hope that you have communicated your views in letters to the appropriate government ministers.

      *I* need to do the same.. because *I* happen to think that NO Infidel country should give ANY money to any mohammedan entity whatsoever. Because that money will always be viewed, by the muslim recipients, as either jizya or tribute.

      I’d like to see us cut off *all* funding not only to the so-called ‘Palestinian’ Arabs (overwhelmingly Muslim) but *also* to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Indonesia, etc and so forth.

    The bizarre arrogance of Palestinian leadership to demand other countries give them money or it’s an act of war, is in reality ‘extortion’, and a crime in every language.

  25. Clive Stephen Delmonte says

    Jul 7, 2018 at 6:25 pm

    It is inevitable that “Palestinians” will make bloodthirsty threats against current and previous donors. The “Palestinian” project faces obliteration. Mr Trump, the Israelis and the Australian government are all proceeding to withhold or redirect funds from “Palestinian” agencies from the PA down.

    The Game is up for “Palestinians” and they just can’t face it. They “missed the boat” under the Obama Administration, probably the most sympathetic to the “Palestinian” cause since Israel was recreated, and now they are faced with Mr Trump who leads a US administration which is probably the least sympathetic to their cause.

    We should institute a requiem mass for “Palestine”, “Palestinians” and “Palestinian JIhad”.
