Your Money Pays for Terror
History repeats itself as the west, including the US, funds, arms and trains their own enemies, current and future. It is political expediency, willful blindness, and an egotistic certainty of being in control that weaves a curtain of deceit around their activities. In the beginning they deceive only outsiders, but then they deceive even themselves. The enemy, however, is not deceived.
In a time of terrible worldwide economic crisis, billions and billions of US Dollars, Euros, and money channeled through the UN's various agencies are being paid to the richest terrorist organizations in history. Notice: There is no mention of refugees in that sentence! The money is supposedly intended for those refugees, but only people with the right connections to the terrorist organizations and their families will see any of it.
The majority of the population continues to be demeaned, victimized, abused and destined to live at nearly subsistence level -- this being their sacrifice for Jihad. Anarchy and fear rule their lives, but their hatred is still directed toward those in the west who have naively tried to help.
Money that is taken in taxes from the pockets of citizens of western democracies directly pays for the terrorists' arms and training. This same money enhances the physical and economic threat to the lives those same citizens, immediately and for the foreseeable future.

Every citizen of the world who cares what he is paying for and can see clearly what the future is likely to bring as a result of this, should stand up at home and order his government to stop this insanity. |
Since the Oslo Accords, the PA received some $14 billion to $20 billion in international aid, according to a 2007 Funding for Peace Coalition (FPC) report to the British Parliament. Each Palestinian received $4,000 to $8,000 per year. However, of the $7 billion pledged international aid, only $5 billion were spent to assist more than 5 million Tsunami victims in more than 15 countries on two continents.
If the newly pledged $5.2 billion are distributed, each of the 4 million Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza would receive $1,300 dollars. In comparison, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), provided in humanitarian aid for 2.5 million Darfur refugees from 2003 to 2006 -- only $100 per person annually.
Secr'y of State Clinton is deceiving the American public when she promises "safeguards" to make sure the funds will indeed NOT go to Hamas and the PA's terrorist organizations. Even were she to try, she would not succeed where so many others have failed.
In "Hillary Clinton’s troubling transformation" Morton Klein wrote for JTV.org: "Now she enthusiastically supports an unconditional increase in U.S. aid to the Palestinian Authority and Gaza, to $900 million a year -- a significant increase."
Dr. Ehrenfeld continues:
The U.S., the World Bank and other donors rely on Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad's promise that the money would not reach Hamas or be used for any terrorist activity. Yet, Fayyad, a former Resident Representative of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in the West Bank and Gaza, has little control over PA funds in Fatah-controlled West Bank, let alone in Hamas-controlled Gaza.
Fayyad himself stated many times that controlling Palestinian finances "is virtually impossible." Moreover, last month, despite Fatah-Hamas bloody disagreements, Fayyad diverted $21.5 million sent from Israel to Gaza to pay PA employees' salaries, to rebuild the houses of Gaza residents that were destroyed during Operation Cast Lead. On March 7th, Fayyad announced his resignation, to facilitate the Fatah unity government with Hamas.
The specific information in her article published also on the Huffington Post leaves no doubt as to the final destination and use of US taxpayers money.
Every citizen of the world who cares what he is paying for and can see clearly what the future is likely to bring as a result of this, should stand up at home to stop this insanity.
