They can’t use the excuse that they need votes in Michigan anymore. It’s clear that these are socialist internationalists who hate Israel because its particularity clashes with their collectivism.
“On Election Day, Biden-Harris Admin Quietly Waived Terrorism Sanctions on Palestinian Government, Docs Show,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, November 7, 2024:
Just before Tuesday’s presidential election, the Biden-Harris administration quietly waived mandatory terrorism sanctions on the embattled Palestinian government—even as it determined that the government’s leaders are paying imprisoned terrorists and fomenting violence in breach of U.S. law.
The State Department, in a non-public notice to Congress, determined that the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) are not complying with agreements to curb terrorism against Israel and end the “pay-to-slay” program, which rewards imprisoned terrorists for committing acts of violence.
Those violations should trigger American sanctions, barring members of the Palestinian government from obtaining U.S. visas. The Biden-Harris administration nonetheless used its executive power to waive the sanctions….
During the reporting period, which covers April 1, 2023, to September 30, 2023, the Palestinian government “continued to utilize post office branches in the West Bank and Gaza to facilitate payments to prisoners and families of ‘martyrs,’” also in violation of Israeli laws.
“Senior PA/PLO officials publicly defended the payments and criticized Israel’s withholding of clearance and tax revenues, which Israel claimed were withheld in an amount equivalent to prisoner/’martyr’ payments made by the PA,” according to the State Department.
The Palestinian government prioritized payments to terrorists in the face of a massive budget shortfall driven by lagging investments from Western nations. The PA owes more than $6 billion for past loans, putting it in a “deep and substantial financial crisis,” but continues to pump millions into its “pay-to-slay” program.
An earlier State Department report showed the Palestinian government allocated more than $150 million to imprisoned terrorists in 2019, with another $191 million given to the families of terrorists who were “martyred” while attacking Israel.
Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas was also found to have incited violence against Israel during the reporting period, violating U.S. agreements that should trigger sanctions.
Abbas, the State Department said, “stoked outrage after news broke that he had delivered a speech featuring antisemitic tropes in late August. The comments included claims that Ashkenazi Jews were not descended from ancient Israelites and that Hitler murdered Jews in the Holocaust because of their ‘role in society, which had to do with money.’”
Still, the Biden-Harris administration determined that Abbas remains committed to “nonviolence, a two-state solution, and previous PLO commitments, including recognition of the right of the State of Israel to exist in peace.”…

Kind reminder that there is no such thing as a Palestine president. It’s the Palestine authority president. Palestine don’t exist and hope it never will.

Very true. A Palestinian state is about as real as an “East Turkistan” state
OLD GUY says
I wonder how much money changed hands.

So very corrupt and so much in favor of terrorism and the mozlum terrorists who carry death and destruction to so many innocent victims.
bo/biden/harris = friends of terrorists. Using American taxpayer money to fund mozlum terror.
Hugh Fitzgerald says
The new administration will undo the damage done to Israel in the waning days of the Biden Administration. Ten weeks to go. And if Mahmoud Abbas continues with the “Pay-For-Slay” program, a swift cutoff of all American aid to the P.A. should get his attention.
James Lincoln says
January 20th, 2025 cannot come soon enough, Hugh.

The despicable reprehensible treachery of that demonic duel who are those two horrendous villains ,Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, against Israel and the Jewish people obviously has no limits.
Walter Sieruk says
That above picture of those two disingenuous despicable sinister evil men, Joe Biden and Mahmoud Abbas, joining their hands together in their demoniacal schemes are a reminder that the Bible reveals
“Though hand join in hand,the wicked shall not be unpunished.” Proverbs 11:21. [K.J.V.]

Incredible! I doubt that this information will ever see the light of day in our national media or video channels.
Why are we letting those who support such behavior into the country and into a voting booth?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I was watching JNS, and one of the commentators – either Caroline Glick or Ruthie Bloom – pointed out that Yoav Gallant was leaking secrets to the White House NSA, giving Jake Sullivan the opportunity to veto Israeli plans to advance their strategic goals. That too happened exactly on Election Day, and now, Jake Sullivan’s information pipeline from Tel Aviv is gone
I also heard that in case the US decides to greenlight any anti-Israel resolution in the Security Council, the Trump team has made arrangements w/ the Kremlin to veto such a move in the UN. Already, the behavior of a lot of countries have started changing, and it doesn’t look like any of them will act during this lame duck period of the Biden Administration

thanks, Infidel, for that news.

I dont understand how liberal American Jews can support the democratic party so often. Any ideas? And now look what’s been wrought on the Jews by our college campuses.

Deeply disturbing–but who can be surprised?

The entire Biden/Harris administration are traitors to our nation. Their term in office has shown they care not for America. What repercussions can be used to bring charges against them for the damage to the nation and their support of enemies that hate America?
Supporting the enemy is treason when you sore to protect, defend and uphold the Constitution.
