U.S. aid to the Palestinian Authority has become an increasingly controversial matter in the wake of the group's decision to bypass peace negotiations and go to the United Nations for recognition of an independent state. But the outlay of funds to the Palestinians may become even more toxic after the release of a report by a media watch organization detailing the payment of salaries from the U.S.-funded PA to imprisoned terrorists.
The report from Palestinian Media Watch, an Israeli-based organization that monitors the Palestinian media and culture, said that more than 5,500 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails are getting salaries from the PA. Though Palestinians held by Israel on charges of terrorism have always received stipends from the PA, the practice was formalized this past April when a new law to that effect was promulgated. The law was reported in the Palestinian official press but went unnoticed by the international media. Given that the United States gives more than $600 million to the Palestinians each year, including $225 million that goes directly to the PA, the payment of these salaries is a violation of U.S. law.

This government has become a giant Cluster ____!
MY GOD! STOP THE WASHINGTON MADNESS!
Of course we know that there is nothing to cut from the budget.
This is just F**king outrageous. What would our reaction be to another country paying salaries to terrorist at Gitmo?
The federal government is FUBAR...
I spy a great place to cut the budget.
That phrase and this example should be repeated whenever possible today when Cantor or Boehner are in front of the cameras as an example of how out of control spending is in DC.

Up with the gallows. To the Dems this is Bush’s fault but to us this is treason and it’s time we give the perps their just reward.

‘Just money laundering from the king of the US. He don’t need to abide by no stinkin’ laws. Hw said so ‘cause he won.
Criminal misuse of taxpayer money like this doesn't go "unnoticed" by the US media.
It gets covered up by the pro-Palestinian, rumpswabbing media so we peasants don't get upset by something we're not sophisticated enough to understand.
In the elites minds, our involvement ends when we send in our tax dollars. It isn't acceptable for us to question our betters about how they give our money away or which muslim terrorist group they decide to support.
Congressional Republicans need to get in unity, and start the process to Impeach, just when do we get the balls of Honduras, who hauled their guy out in, the middle of the night in PJs, and put him out of the country.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
