Palestinian Aid Cut Meant to Block U.S. Funding for Terrorism
(Washington Free Beacon) Adam Kredo - A senior U.S. official said the decision to cut aid to the Palestinians meant the U.S. will no longer enable the Palestinian Authority and those in the Hamas terrorist government in Gaza to use aid dollars in their war against Israel. "Hamas is fighting a morally-bankrupt war at the expense of the Palestinian people," said the official. "Hamas' corrupt and illegitimate control [in Gaza] has provoked conflict and led to poverty and hopelessness, while hampering the ability of the international community to help." The administration's decision is separate from Congress' mandate in the Taylor Force Act to deduct aid dollars used to pay terrorists and their families, the source said.
