Congress passes Taylor Force Act
Finally, it looks like Congress has passed the bill needed to cut funding to terrorists, though it'll still need to pass in the Senate:
The House passed the Taylor Force Act, which cuts all funding to the Palestinian Authority until it stops financially rewarding terrorists.And this is why it's time to stop funding an Islamic terror movement that's never changed.
The Taylor Force Act, which will cut American aid to the Palestinian Authority as long as it pays stipends to terrorists and their families, a scheme sometimes referred to as “pay to slay,” easily passed the United States House of Representatives on Tuesday, with strong bipartisan support.
It will now move to the full Senate, where it will be voted on as part of the foreign operations bill.
The bill passed “easily” in a voice vote, which was “a sign of how united Republicans and Democrats are on the bill,” the Washington Examiner reported.
The Taylor Force Act is named for the US army veteran who was stabbed to death in March 2016 by a Palestinian terrorist while visiting Israel.
The terrorist who killed Force was later killed, but he was described as “heroic” by Fatah, the main Palestinian political faction, and his family receives a stipend from the Palestinian Authority (PA).
