To Our Act for America Substack SubscribersFriends, Biden reversed several key policies implemented by President Trump regarding aid to the Palestinians. Major funding was released in 2021 that may have directly enabled Hamas to carry out the 10/7 Sabbath Massacre! Fulfilling a campaign promise, Biden authorized $290 million in assistance, which faced criticism for violating the Taylor Force Act which prohibits U.S. aid to the Palestinian Authority until it ends its pay-to-slay policy, providing stipends to terrorists and their families.
The State Department justified the aid, stating that supporting a lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a core U.S. national security objective with the primary objective of promoting a two-state solution. However, concerns were raised about the risk of aiding terrorist groups, as internal documents from 2021 indicated State Department officials' strong apprehensions.
The resumption of support for UNRWA, with a contribution of $150 million, also stirred controversy. While the State Department argued that this funding serves U.S. interests and values, Israel expressed disappointment, asserting that UNRWA perpetuates the conflict. The Israeli ambassador to the U.S. emphasized the need for reforms within UNRWA, including addressing anti-Semitic content in its educational curriculum. The European Parliament and Norway have also criticized UNRWA for promoting hate and violence. UNRWA Funding promotes extreme, violent Jew-hatred and denial of Israel’s right to exist. The administration's commitment extended beyond direct financial assistance, with pledges of humanitarian aid for the West Bank and Gaza post-ceasefire, surpassing $360 million! President Biden's visit to Israel in July 2022 resulted in an additional $200 million for UNRWA, bringing total U.S. assistance during his administration to over $618 million. In Gaza, a staggering 82% live below the poverty line, with 64% facing food insecurity and half unemployed, including 64% of young adults. In comparison, poverty in the West Bank is at 14%. Shamefully, financial aid from the U.S. and the UN, is being siphoned off by extremists, perpetuating conflict rather than addressing the humanitarian needs of a populace that has no vision or desire for self-reliance. The United States taxpayers have picked up the lion's share of financial aid to “Palestinians” since 1949 and it has only led to ever-increasing hatred and animosity of America, the West, and Israel as a reward. The stark reality is that our financial aid has enriched extremist leaders, fueled catastrophic attacks on Israeli civilians, and nurtured new generations of terrorists. To avert further bloodshed, we must cease all financial aid immediately, holding our government accountable for the consequences of their actions.
