(JNS.org) Rafael Medoff - Prominent Democrats and major U.S. Jewish organizations are joining President Trump in calling on the Palestinian Authority (PA) to stop making payments to imprisoned terrorists and their families. In his May 22 press conference with PA President Abbas in Bethlehem, Trump warned that terrorists should not be "tolerated, funded or rewarded." Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.) recently introduced the Taylor Force Act, which would make U.S. aid to the PA conditional on its halting payments to terrorists and their families. Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman and CEO of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, told JNS.org he supports the legislation. A spokesperson for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Schumer "believes it is abhorrent that the Palestinian Authority provides support to terrorists and their families" and "thinks the United States policy should be to seek a way to end this disturbing practice." Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) said he "shares deep concerns" about the PA's payments to terrorists and believes "this practice should be stopped." 2017-05-30 00:00:00Full Article
