Biden may violate the Taylor Force Act, and Turkey shuns an initiative for protecting women's rights
The Washington Free Beacon got news of the PLO funneling tons of money to terrorists, yet fraud-in-chief Biden may not recognize the seriousness of the issue:
And in another semi-related form of news, Turkey's pulled out a pact for halting anti-female spousal abuse:
The Biden administration privately confirmed to Congress last week that the Palestinian Authority has continued to use international aid money to reward terrorists but said the finding won't impact its plans to restart funding.There are tragically chances they'll violate the act, and the worst part is that they could do it all under the table, transferring funds to an entity that doesn't deserve them, all at the expense of the sensible taxpayer.
In a non-public State Department report obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, the administration said the Palestinians spent at least $151 million in 2019 on its "pay-to-slay" program, in which international aid dollars are spent to support imprisoned terrorists and their families. Financial statements further indicate that at least $191 million was spent on "deceased Palestinians referred to as ‘martyrs.’" Despite this practice, which violates U.S. law and prompted the Trump administration to freeze aid to the Palestinians, the "Biden-Harris Administration has made clear its intent to restart assistance to the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza," according to the report.
It remains unclear how the Biden administration will restart American aid without violating a 2018 bipartisan law known as the Taylor Force Act, which prohibits the U.S. government from resuming Palestinian aid until the payments to terrorists are stopped. The latest report on the matter is likely to rankle pro-Israel lawmakers in Congress who see the payments as a gift to the Palestinian government as it continues to sponsor terrorism and foment anti-Israel hatred.
And in another semi-related form of news, Turkey's pulled out a pact for halting anti-female spousal abuse:
US and European leaders denounced what they called Turkey's baffling and concerning decision to pull out of an international accord designed to protect women from violence, and urged President Tayyip Erdogan to reconsider.Supposedly, fraud-in-chief Biden's staff is disappointed, but if they're mendacious about funding the PLO's evil, why should we believe they're serious about being let down by Turkey's current behavior? There's very little chance they really are.
Erdogan's government on Saturday withdrew from the Istanbul Convention, which it signed onto in 2011 after it was forged in Turkey's biggest city. Turkey said domestic laws, not outside fixes, would protect women's rights.
The Council of Europe accord pledged to prevent, prosecute and eliminate domestic violence and promote equality. Killings of women have surged in Turkey in recent years and thousands of women protested on Saturday against the government's move in Istanbul and other cities.
