AP Photo/Craig Ruttle, File I’m not an expert on the Palestinians and Iranian-backed terrorist group Hamas, but only an idiot would believe America could send $100 million to “the Palestinian people” and that none of that money would also enrich the coffers of the terrorist group responsible for indiscriminate rocket attacks against civilian areas in Israel, so you figure it out.
The Biden administration has allocated more than $100 million in U.S. taxpayer aid to the corrupt-as-hell Palestinian government and various “aid groups,” raising concerns among critics because the State Department cannot ensure the money won’t reach Hamas. The Biden administration can’t guarantee that $100 mil. Palestinian aid won’t enrich Hamas. Via @Kredo0 https://t.co/a4CHG3aM2X — Washington Free Beacon (@FreeBeacon) May 27, 2021 Biden —> Palestinians —> Iranian-backed terrorist group. You connect the idiot dots.
Here’s background, as reported by the Washington Free Beacon . State Department officials have thus far declined to outline what mechanisms, if any, it has put in place to stop a tranche of aid money from reaching Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip and is responsible for initiating a deadly conflict with Israel this month. The State Department admitted this week that it could not guarantee the tranche of money will be kept from Hamas. “As we’ve seen in life, as we all know in life, there are no guarantees,” a senior department official said, as transcribed by WFB.
So how’s this scenario played out in the past — and what are the prospects for the Biden administration —you ask? Per WFB (emphasis, mine): U.S. aid money has reached Hamas and Palestinian terrorists in the past, prompting the Trump administration to stop sending aid in 2018 . One of Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s first moves after taking office was to resume the aid without preconditions . That appears to be the case again as the administration commits millions more to the Gaza Strip and United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which allows Hamas to use its facilities . Multiple Republican foreign policy leaders and a top former Trump administration official described the moves as reckless . […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
