A Ridiculous Response.
In response to the Trump Administration clamping down their financial contribution by some $80 million to the Palestinians, Kenneth Roth, the noted anti-Israel director of Human Rights Watch, responded, "It is vindictive for the US government to deprive the money to feed and educate Palestinian children in order to blackmail the Palestinian Authority into rejoining the Trump Administration-led peace negotiations."
This is a bizarre response because Roth seems to have no problems with American tax-payers money being siphoned off by both the Palestinian Authority and Hamas into educated their children into hating and murdering Jews.
Nor does this human rights chief have anything to say about the American protest that $370 million of their money is being spent in rewarding murdering terrorists and their families on a pay-to-slay basis. The more Jews you kill, the more money you get. This is the policy of Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian Authority.
The sooner the American Congress pass the Taylor Force Act the better. Taylor Force was an American who was murdered by a Palestinian terrorist in Tel Aviv.
If passed and signed into law, the bill will stop further funding to the Palestinians until they cease their terror reward system.

7 年Why does the US fund UNWRA? Perpetuating 70 years of Arab Refugee-ism? Just to support the Arab refusal to recognize the state of Israel? Where did all the billions of Dollars go? Beside funding Hamas. What does America buy with the small amount of money that actually do support schooling for children of refugees? Democratic values? Pluralism? Humanism? Gender equality? Supporting Non-violence? Gratitude? Is it logical that the Canadian government stopped funding UNRWA due to Hamas ties for six years, While the US continued its support ?
