Wave bye bye to another $700 million in taxpayer money
Budgets are all about priorities. Some things don’t matter, like 20,000 United States Marines, White House tours, the space program and air traffic control towers.
But some things do matter… like aiding terrorists.
The United States has quietly unblocked almost $500 million in aid to the Palestinian Authority which had been frozen by Congress for months, a top US official said Friday.
“To date, we have moved $295.7 million in fiscal year 2012 money… and $200 million in fiscal year 2013 assistance,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told reporters.
The Obama administration also notified Congress in late February that it was seeking a further $200 million to fund US Agency for International Development (USAID) programs for the Palestinians, she said.And that brings us up to the $700 million that Kerry was discussing last month.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is fighting to send the Palestinian Authority nearly $700 million in aid, despite major budget cuts and a fierce debate over where existing money should go.The question is should the needs of the American people come before those of the Palestinian people… or should the needs of the terrorists come before those of Americans?
“The Secretary feels extremely strongly that it is time now to get this support to the Palestinian Authority,” said State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland.
Kerry is working with lawmakers to “get appropriated money released for the Palestinian Authority because we think it’s very, very important that they remain effective in supporting the needs of the Palestinian people,” Nuland said.
Kerry and the rest of Obama Inc. clearly believe that Palestinians should come before Americans.
