“Pay For Slay”: America First Legal Challenges Biden’s Funding of Palestine as State Department Admits “High Risk” Funding Benefits Hamas Terrorists.
GWP:
America First Legal (AFL), headed by former Trump Senior Advisor Stephen Miller, has won a “key procedural victory in its lawsuit to stop the Biden Administration from violating the Taylor Force Act by subsidizing terrorism with American tax dollars.”
The small but meaningful victory in the case, brought by Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) and others, will give AFL expedited discovery that could uncover US aid intended for Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank being unlawfully used to indirectly benefit terrorism. The State Department describes the funding as being at a “high risk” of benefiting Hamas.
This would be a violation of the Taylor Force Act. The 2017 legislation was intended to “cut some aid to Palestinians until they end stipends for terror convicts and families of slain attackers” according to The Times of Israel.
AFL’s brief, filed in August 2023 before the atrocious Hamas attack last weekend, alleges that a FOIA’d production from the Department of State includes “a license application to the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) seeking authorization to conduct official US Government activities in the West Bank and Gaza that might otherwise be prohibited by counterterrorism sanctions regulations.” more here
Did I hear correctly that Biden is going to Israel?!?
Good grief.
Biden has plenty of time to go to Israel. After all, Obama is running things.
ZERO should be STOLEN from Americans and given to anyone outside our borders, and that includes Israel.
Since the Gazans voted about 90% for Hamas to be their “government”, any funds obviously go to Hamas, hence terrorism.
sniffer joe, keep sucking sand-nword dick & swallowing
All foreign aid, humanitarian or otherwise, ultimately ends up as military aid.
Anything that comes outta Jackass Joe’s piehole is a lie! While he might go to Israel I seriously doubt that he intends to help Israel… if he does he’ll slow walk it so that it is ineffective!
I more expect to see a virtual Zoom call with Jackasss Joe wearing a green helmet carrying a child with a battle ground superimposed background!
Man I voted for 9 times tried to stop “foreign aid” 8 straight years! Lefty for whom I DID NOT VOTE stopped him.
For those 60 UNIPARTY Senate “leader” was Dole!
Somehow since 1960 “foreign aid” generally went to NGO’s a d governments that were enemies of America
UNIPARTY Bob and Tip said we could “Buy their friendship with foreign aid”. As UIPARTY JO has done this year!
UNIPARTY has at least been “consistent” for 63 uear.
again for young. TIP was Speaker.
