From the Wall Street Journal (Jan 4)
“Your Aid Dollars for Palestinian Terrorists: Biden’s preferred rulers of Gaza still pay monthly stipends to murderers:
The terrorists who started a war on Oct. 7, according to Palestinian Authority law, will be compensated financially for a massacre well done. The same PA that President Biden wants to run postwar Gaza will reward the murderers’ families with grants followed by monthly stipends for life. That means taxpayers from the U.S. and Europe will help pick up the tab. . .
So we have that to look forward to. For now, the PA keeps paying the established terrorists, unmoved by Mr. Biden’s combination of US pressure and endorsement. According to Itamar Marcus of Palestinian Media Watch, “martyr families” typically receive 1,400 shekels (almost $400) a month for life. Salaries for terrorist prisoners rise over time from 1,400 shekels to 12,000 shekels ($3,300) a month.”
Just unbelievable.
Also Unbelievable
Israel has chosen loathsome former Supreme Court President Aharon Barak to represent us at the International Criminal Court in The Hague in the case brought by South Africa accusing Israel of genocide.
You will recall that it was Barak who was responsible for the judicial reform movement because he is the person who began the move to usurp all the power from the Knesset and put it in the hands of the Court.
And now, he is chosen?
Just unbelievable.
A student from Malawi, who had worked with an Israeli health volunteer in his country battling AIDS, came up to us as we walked down the street in the UC-Davis Picnic Day Parade and wanted to carry the Israeli flag.
