Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas rebuffed requests from Trump Administration envoy Jared Kushner that his government stop using the foreign aid money the US has been sending him to pay bounties to terrorists for killing Jews.
"The agreement we negotiated with President Obama attached no conditions on how we can use this money," Abbas said. "It is an insult that Mr. Trump would send his Jew son-in-law to try to renege on this prior arrangement. As Muslims, it is our religious obligation to kill the Jews and retake the land they stole from Allah. The demand that we cease fulfilling this obligation seeks to obstruct our religious freedom in contravention to the United States' own constitutional guarantee of this freedom."
The US Congress has repeatedly threatened to discontinue foreign aid to the Palestinian Authority if the bounties paid for killing Jews aren't stopped, but hasn't been able to clear the 60-vote threshold in the Senate. "We wish the Democrats would stop filibustering our efforts to end the flow of US taxpayer dollars being used to finance attacks on Israelis, but we must respect the long-standing procedural rules of this great deliberative body," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ken) lamented.

Are we SURE this is satire?
I never understand the use of these “semi-satire” pieces, as reality is so close to fiction. It’s reminiscent of the “Buckley F. Williams” material we were inundated with for years. Oh well - just a free opinion, and worth as much I’m sure.
