US cuts aid to “Palestinians” by more than $200 million

Aug 25, 2018 10:24 am By Robert Spencer

Good. $200 million less for jihad terror and the promotion of genocide.

“US cuts aid to Palestinians by more than $200 million,” by Matthew Lee, Associated Press, August 24, 2018:

WASHINGTON โ€“ The Trump administration has decided to cut more than $200 million in bilateral aid to the Palestinians, following a review of the funding for projects in the West Bank and Gaza, the State Department said Friday.

The department notified Congress of the decision in a brief, three-paragraph notice sent first to lawmakers and then to reporters. It said the administration will redirect the money to “high priority projects elsewhere.”

The move comes as President Donald Trump and his Middle East pointmen, Jared Kushner and Jason Greenblatt, staff up their office to prepare for the rollout of a much-vaunted but as yet unclear peace plan for Israel and the Palestinians.

“At the direction of President Trump, we have undertaken a review of U.S. assistance to the Palestinian Authority and in the West Bank and Gaza to ensure these funds are spent in accordance with U.S. national interests and provide value to the U.S. taxpayer,” the department said. “As a result of that review, at the direction of the president, we will redirect more than $200 million … originally planned for programs in the West Bank and Gaza.”

“This decision takes into account the challenges the international community faces in providing assistance in Gaza, where Hamas control endangers the lives of Gaza’s citizens and degrades an already dire humanitarian and economic situation,” the notice said, without providing additional details.

One main issue the U.S. has had with support for the Palestinian Authority had been its stipends paid to the families of Palestinians killed, injured or jailed for attacks on Israel. Israel and the Trump administration, have repeatedly demanded that those payments from a so-called “martyrs’ fund” be halted because they encourage terrorism. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has refused to do so.

The Palestine Liberation Organization quickly denounced the decision, calling it “the use of cheap blackmail as a political tool. The Palestinian people and leadership will not be intimidated and will not succumb to coercion.”…

    This is long overdue! It’s sad when so much taxpayer money is wasted on foreign entities that use it against us! Use that money to improve and update the VA system and VA hospitals and health care!
    And lower our contribution to the United Nations as well!

      Couldn’t agree more, Jay. The VA system is a disgrace. The money could be well spent there. I think we need stop all money going to an Islamic country. They only use it against us. We are contributing too our own demise.

        John McCain was a great supporter of the Syrian rebels and once said he knew they were not terrorists. They told him so at lunch. I am sorry that Mr. McCain died what must have been an excruciation death. But facts are facts and he was pro-Islam in almost every issue.

        • gravenimage says

          Aug 26, 2018 at 4:40 pm

          I think John McCain fell victim to the idea that those who opposed oppressors must ergo be freedom fighters.

          Aug 26, 2018 at 6:18 pm

          I will never forgive McCain nor Kerry. He along with Kerry Chaired the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIAs in the late 1980s to 1993. They shredded over 22 thousand pages of documentation on POW/MIAs and said there were no more alive so Clinton could normalize relations with Vietnam. We left over 500 service men in Vietnam and almost 300 in Laos and Cambodia!

      just to add…. when Israel was forced to go into Lebanon in the 80’s due to horrendous attacks there and at the begging of christians being slaughtered, they captured the latest Russian tanks, which the americans had never actually seen. Israel gave the tanks to us, the americans…. we got to see them up close and develop counter measures such that during the Iraq war, our tank forces were vastly superior and lives were saved. There is more to this and remember, the Israel’s paid for their foreign aide, and gave
      back more than they got… consistently. Our intelligence in the middle east came via them.
      In return of course BHO attempted to overthrown Netanyahu, by the official report of the interference in Israeli elections by his administration from our own government.
      I get your gist…. it’s just a wee bit too severe and a wee bit too simple.

        Aug 25, 2018 at 11:08 am

        I kinda remember a story a couple years ago that Israel sold our high tech Apache technology to Red China also. Either way, I support Israel 100%. It’s just those with the Billions for sure and most likely Trillions should man up and support them.
        .
        The funny thing is that the Deep State Globalist are out to destroy Israel also, at least make their position extremely dangerous. Why? Bibi could easily leak some Mossad files on these traitorous Satanic Scum and eradicate the Globalist, dismantling Clinton/Huma and the Muslim Brotherhood, yet they do NOT? Why Not?

          It’s simple. The Clinton crimes are well documented. Also the JFK facts are pretty plain when you put it ALL together. The Collusion between Clinton, Mueller, Comey, Rosenstein, Lynch, Holder and the Clinton Crime Foundation and dealings with Russia have been documented by various MSM sources individually.
          .
          All one has to do is put the dots together. The Podesta emails, according to Wikileaks has enough to sink them ALL. Of course, Wikileaks could be lyin, so far I haven’t seen yet anyone proving one out of the 11,000 of them yet to be NOT authenic!!

          You haven’t seen what the Scum Tech Billionaires have done yet to free speech and the free transfer of money? Why hasn’t Soros been indicted yet, a Financial, Domestic and International Terrorist who has cause the death of thousands around the world? You really think the Rothschilds and Rockefellers no longer either own or control trillions, or at least a few hundred BILLION?

          You really don’t think Putin and BiBi most likely have most of the dirt on American Citizens that the NSA and CIA have? You don’t think every transaction with a Russian Oligarch is NOT monitored and they don’t git a cut?

          Aug 25, 2018 at 7:19 pm

          Cognito, you mocked me when I said in a previous thread something like don’t forgit the Churchill Bust. . I spent an hour lookin it ALL up. Iโ€™d say from ALL the sources it appeared that their were TWO Churchill Busts in the Whitehouse. So the White house Oval Office bust was supposedly given back to the British Consulate.. Instead Obama said he moved it inside his residence so he could see it more often. Most likely due to ALL the flack he got. The one in the residence may have been the second bust there already. Some articles said it was in a corridor in the private portion of the White House.
          .
          Trump moved the other one that was in the workin part of the Whitehouse and put it back into the Oval Office. It would be nice to know if the Brits leant the one that they supposedly took back after Bush left or did one Trump git the other one that was in the Whitehouse. I do NOT know! I do know it doesnโ€™t really matter. Kinda a fun question though since the Brits hate Trump now, would they give back Winston. The Brits hate Winston NOW too. LOL!
          .
          This is from about 5 different MSM stories compiled easily from an engine search. It just shows that there are many stories from the MSM that DO NOT jive.
          .
          There is NO such thing as the TRUTH anywhere. What you see may be a LIE also! You gotta put da dots together and come up with something that makes sense.!

        • CogitoErgoSum says

          Aug 25, 2018 at 8:23 pm

          Okay, Mac-101. You are right that dear old Winston isn’t appreciated by the British anymore. He probably would have been in the cell next to Tommy Robinson if he were alive today.

          I’ll have to agree with Alice in Wonderland. Things are getting curiouser and curiouser. So I’ll try to keep an open mind. I just hope my brain doesn’t fall out.

        • Mac-101 says

          Aug 25, 2018 at 9:36 pm

          Cognito, I don’t say what I say is true. There is so much disinformation and half truths. The Agency has been officially financing it and spreading it since the 1960s with Operation Mockingbird. As I’ve said before I was Special Forces for 11 years and was trained in Contingency Operations and Other than War scenarios. This IS ALL out of Pysops and has been done numerous times to destabilize other governments.
          .
          THEY have refined the procedures the NAZIs and Bolsheviks have used and the Chi-Coms are perfecting. Now THEY are usin it on us. All I ask is for you to keep an open mind and remember as FDR once said “Nothin happens in PoliTicks by chance” nor does it if MONEY is involved. Someone Always games da game!
          .
          We truly live in interestin times. Also remember the 1984 Memory Hole exists today. Articles I KNOW I found easily 10 years ago with an antiquated search engine are no longer to be found. If found, I must go back 10 pages or so!

        • Mac-101 says

          Aug 25, 2018 at 10:35 pm

          Graven, surely you jest. THEY are ALL dirty and Blackmailled. They come in with little and come out multimillionaires! The perfect example is the 80 some Tea Party members who were voted in in 2010. The first thing they did was git da Stock Act passed by 100% vote makin it illegal for congressmen to engage in INSIDER Tradin on the stocks of companies they are goin to pass legislature that would effect their price.
          .
          One year latter the Boston Marathon bombin occurred by our Religion of Peace Practitioners and on day 2 Congress amended the Stock Act so basically they are back at goin hog wild makin dirty money!
          .
          Not ONE person voting against takin the enforcement guts out of it. So in one year they blackmailled them ALL with young girls, underage boys, money or just plan threatened them. Who knows what they have. Look at Sessions and John Roberts. These Traitors slept for decades and then do their harm when needed.
          .
          The Deep Sate LIVES and is threatening us ALL. Just like THEY are with Robert Spencer. May G-d guide him and protect him in his fight against this evil!

          Mac, I’m just not sure why you would think that Mossad would have intel on American politicians if no one in the US does.

        • Mac-101 says

          Aug 25, 2018 at 11:32 pm

          Gravin, THEY have ALL people in authority blackmailed. It can even be something stupid. Let me use the case of High Rankin Military Officers. General Officers were encouraged to pad their expense accounts so they can buy things for the unit with the money, say Regimental flags and gifts to dignitaries. Some are watch for years boinkin the secretaries and female officers a grade or two below them. When they are desired to be gone, like Obama wiped out numerous great warriors to be replace by his globalist scum, the just bring out the charges.
          .
          Congressmen are no different. I was a Aviation Safety Officer for 29 years. One of my duties was to insure the unit was incompliance with OSHA and EPA requirements. There were numerous ones that if you met one requirement, you were automatically in violation of the other.
          .
          Taxes are another great example. Many times reporters call the IRS about a tax issue and if they call 3 different offices they git 3 different answers which can have you be criminally guilty or just have your assets seized.
          .
          So even the most honest person can be honey trapped into a situation to be blackmailed. The outside world is a very ugly place. That’s why I love Trump. You try to blackmail him he want’s a 8×11 glossy of it!

          And of course Mossad has intel on American politicians. Mossad has intel on politicians everywhere. As do other agencies, domestic and foreign. Anyone who thinks otherwise is naรฏve.

          It’s NOT just the Israelis. They have assess to most of the NSA and CIA files. These files have almost ALL of your electronic communications in the last 10 to 15 years. Amazon has the contract NOW to store them on the Cloud for these agencies. This is public information released by Congressional Inquiry.
          .
          People are always interested in what someone else is doin. Intel Agencies are paid to have the dirt on everyone of any significance!
          .
          No, it’s not Israel, it is the Globalist who may very well include the Israelis even though it appears now that THEY are goin against Israel. Even the Vatican has proven that they are Globalist first, Christian perhaps second!

        I agree with Mac that it certainly seems that payoffs are involved to our Congressmen and Senators. On their salaries, there is no way they could have amassed all of that dough legally. And there’s John Roberts. Yes, the Chief Justice. He practically rewrote the Obama law so that it could squeeze by Constitutionality. Why would he do that? Does someone have something really bad on him? Has he gotten a tremendous payoff? How is Maxine Waters a multi-millionaire with her pay? Pelosi? Wake up people. We are being sold out..

        Instructive how certain farces are not only stupid but often lethal. One could argue that the UN is an even greater disgrace (and danger) than was the League of Nations, which the US did not join PRECISELY because of Henry Cabot Lodge’s sapient advice and influence, that being that principles put forward without the threat of force behind them are meaningless. Put another way, goodness without courage is practically useless. And the UN is so useless that it doesn’t even have the “goodness part.” At least the pathetic League of Nations had this much.

    $200 million is a step in the right direction, however, Palestine should not get one single dollar. Why must the west support islamic countries or illegal places like Palestine when they have a doctrine to murder and rape us as commanded in the koran??? We didn’t send money to the Nazis so they could more easily destroy us. Why is there no logic within so many western governments.

        They have no big boy pants. Most of the Muslim men wear dresses. They don’t understand the concept of being men because the Koran tells them to steal from non-Muslims and enslave us to do all the work for them. Muslim men are wimps.

    I heartily approve of this move by our president, even if I’ve long sensed that he has serious character issues.

    The PA not only gives stipends to families of terrorists killed while trying to kill Israelis, but also wanted to forbid property holding on the West Bank and Gaza by families originating in territory that was Israeli before 1967 (something for which an earlier US administration threatened to cut off aid). The PA seems utterly uninterested in investing anything in the development or betterment of the territory it controls, and seems willing to be anyone’s perpetual aid junkie. Re the last, someone needs to make it clear to them that the aid won’t flow forever, and now it seems that Trump has done it.

    I know someone who is generally Left-leaning, and not sympathetic to the Israelis, but he characterized the Palestinians as “such bastards”. Others note that they never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

    OT: new charges against the murderers of the little boy in NM. The “partner” of the kidnapper kept a record of what was done to the child…while he was alive and the punishments given to the other kids after his death.
    The little boy died on Christmas Eve and the other children had to keep washing his dead body as punishment for not being “respectful.”
    The prosecutor has asked that the court withdraw the releases on bond.

    An Arab saying, “”My grandfather rode on a camel, my father rode in a Cadillac, I ride in a jet and my grandson will ride on a camel.”
    The time is fast approaching when this quotation will be fulfilled. The Arab nations are living on borrowed time. The Saudis are desperately trying to find ways to modernize in order to gain more sources of income, but first they would need to throw off the shackles of Islam. They are even considering putting their own people to work! New battery technology is close to being realized and with it the price of oil will reach levels unable to power the engine of Islamic hegemony.

    • Raja says

      Aug 26, 2018 at 9:14 am

      For Love is Lord…

      Hope the New battery “happens” sooner than later. Islam the scourge of the world must be eradicated. Period.

      Islam, such a wonderful war and propaganda machine of hate and hegemony can never be tamed. History will speak for this truth.

        Raja, we have a lot of oil in Canada, however, before we can process and sell it we need to get rid of Trudeau. Trudeau has forced Canada to buy oil from his islamic buddies while we have a huge reserve of the black stuff sitting in the ground.

    • Susan B says

      Aug 26, 2018 at 10:44 am

      I have heard that the wells in SA are going to be running dry. I really want to think this story is true however a google search shows the opposite. I no longer trust google and the numbers would be supplied by the Saudis and don’t trust them either. There is plenty of oil in non muslim countries but the Saudis undercut the price to stop production in those countries. Venezuela has the biggest reserve and is currently bankrupt. (Let that be a lesson to socialist/communist). However the bottom line is that there is still a lot of oil in non muslim countries. We should not be held hostage by islamic oil.

      The source that claims Saudi oil running low;
      https://seekingalpha.com/article/4098775-saudi-arabian-oil-running-will-affect-long-term-oil-markets

      Contrary to the above link; this is what google claims;

      Here are the top countries with the biggest proven oil reserves, as reported by EIA.
      Venezuela. Proven oil reserves in 2013 (billion barrels): 297.6. …
      Saudi Arabia. Proven oil reserves (billion barrels): 267.91. …
      Canada. Proven oil reserves: 173.105. …
      Iran. Proven oil reserves: 154.58. …
      Iraq. …
      Kuwait. …

          Mac that is good news, 200 years is a long time for technology to come up with better solutions.

    According to Julius Malema, “Trump the pathological liar”, must keep his nose out of South Africa’s business, so perhaps President Trump could cut the US AID to South Africa too. The Jew hating “Palestinians” are big buddies of the ANC and the EFF leader Malema,

      Aug 25, 2018 at 12:29 pm

      According to the website I have linked below, for FY 2018 (partially reported) the United States has given $133.27 million in aid to South Africa (which is classified as an upper middle income country).

      https://explorer.usaid.gov/cd/ZAF?fiscal_year=2018&measure=Obligations

      You may also be interested to know that the US budget gave $13 million (partially reported for FY2018) to Turkey (also an upper middle income country) and 194.4 million to Pakistan (partially reported for FY2018 and a lower middle-income country).

      It’s fascinating to me that middle income countries are given aid but what’s even more interesting is that some countries considered to be high income, such as Oman and the United Arab Republic receive aid. They don’t get much but why should they need any aid at all?

      • Mac-101 says

        Aug 25, 2018 at 7:26 pm

        That 133 Million is about 60 times what I grossed my entire life and about 13,300 Times what I paid in Federal Taxes in my entire life so far. Stop the Insanity! Quit givin money for Nothin cause there ain’t be no Chicks for free!

  13. Hugh Fitzgerald says

    Aug 25, 2018 at 12:26 pm

    Why should there be any American contribution to the “Palestinians” for whom such aid is fungible: the more they receive in such “humanitarian” aid, the more money they can spend on arms, rockets,tunnel building, explosives, all those things that are so necessary to lead a full and productive “Palestinian” life.. Why does the Western world think it owes the “Palestinians” anything, considering that they continue to refuse to stop their grotesque sums for terrorists and their families.

    There are plenty of other deep-pocketed suppliers of aid for these people: Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, even Iran. Let them pay, if they choose.. The West should not be transferring any more money to the “Palestinians.”

    Abraham Lincoln said,

    Civilized belligerents do all in their power to help themselves, or hurt the enemy, except a few things regarded as barbarous or cruel. Among the exceptions are the massacre of vanquished foes, and non-combatants, male and female.”

    Palestinian Muslims have intentionally targeted non-combatants repeatedly.

    As for the massacre of vanquished foes,

    Muhammad presided over the beheading of 600 to 900 captive, disarmed Jews

    From page 464 (690 in the Arabic) of the earliest Muslim biography of Muhammad:
    https://archive.org/stream/TheLifeOfMohammedGuillaume/The_Life_Of_Mohammed_Guillaume#page/n256/mode/1up

    Then [the Banu Qurayza tribe] surrendered, and the apostle [Muhammad] confined them in Medina in the quarter of d. al-Harith, a woman of B. al-Najjar. Then the apostle went out to the market of Medina (which is still its market today) and dug trenches in it. Then he sent for them and struck off their heads in those trenches as they were brought out to him in batches. Among them was the enemy of Allah Huyayy b. Akhtab and Ka`b b. Asad their chief. There were 600 or 700 in all, though some put the figure as high as 800 or 900. As they were being taken out in batches to the apostle they asked Ka`b what he thought would be done with them. He replied, ‘Will you never understand? Don’t you see that the summoner never stops and those who are taken away do not return? By Allah it is death!’ This went on until the apostle made an end of them. “

      Many Palestinians truly believe they are the innocent victims. There are many Palestinian innocents who do not realize that their own rulers and their own Islamic culture are largely to blame for the situation. Their rulers and their Islamic culture are to blame for making compromise impossible, democracy impossible, and totalitarianism the rule. When another nation faces the fanatical Palestinian rulers and Islamic culture, there are unfortunately only two options available for dealing with that fanaticism: fight or surrender. Peaceful coexistence is impossible with fanatics. But those Palestinians who are unaware of who is really to blame are innocent and should not be hated. They need tough love. Without dropping one’s defenses, one should help them to understand their true situation if possible. Liberal democracies should withhold aid, as Trump is doing. The Palestinians must experience the consequences of their own fanatical intransigence, or else they will remain mired in it.

        Yup, their manifest destiny is a free ride on the backs of others, not the freedom to pursue and earn one’s fortune without violating the rights of others, rather islam’s morality depends on it and only achieves anything by plunder, massacre and extortion.

    The President should .be lauded for this move. The Palestinian Authority leaders live in luxury while the masses live in squalor. Also money is funded to the assassin families, when money could be spent on development. Why does the Palestinian Authority oppose the US move, they should ask their fellow Arab brothers for more money. Those guys know what the Palestinians are up to and give only that much aid, which cannot be misused. it is the west that is being taken for a ride
