Funding of the Palestinian Authority is Against U.S. Law

In the wake of the Fatah Conference which recently took place, one very important item has deliberately not been reported on or covered by the biased media:

And that is Fatah's "official endorsement" of the Al-aqsa Martyrs Brigades, a U.S. recognized foreign terrorist organization as the "military wing" of Fatah.

The Palestinian Authority is run by Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah Party.

In January of 2006 candidates representing Hamas, another U.S. recognized terrorist organization, won a majority of seats in the Palestinian Authority elections.

This resulted in Congress immediately reacting by adaption of legislation to prohibit any further funding of the PA, as such funding would also serve to benefit Hamas. And thereby constitute a violation of U.S. laws against the funding of terrorists, or terrorist organizations. 

Hamas overthrew Abu Mazen's Fatah in the Gaza strip in June of 2007. Since then, the U.S. and other Western countrys resumed funding directly to the PA itself in the West Bank [Judea and Samaria].

Fatah's official endorsement of the Al-aqsa Martyrs Brigades as their "military wing" does two things:

1. It reveals to the world that Israel has no true partner for peace. 

2. Any additional transfer of U.S. taxpayer funds to the PA will constitute a flagrant violation of U.S. laws against the funding of terrorists, or terrorist organizations.
