6 Dem Senators Sell Out Jewish Terror Victims to Restore Cash to Islamic Terrorists

Terrorists need their guns more than their victims need surgeries.

In 2002, Shmuel Waldman, an American from NJ, was shot while boarding a bus in Israel. The terrorist attack killed 2 and left 40 injured. Among the 40 was Shmuel whose leg was blown apart, forcing him to undergo multiple surgical procedures, and leaving him suffering from PTSD.

The terrorist who shot him was Said Ramadan, a “police officer” working for the terrorists who run the Palestinian Authority. The attack had been planned by senior PA officials and the PA Ramadan as a hero.

Waldman joined other victims of terrorism in a lawsuit against the terrorist group, which is funded by American taxpayers, under the Antiterrorism Act.

Waldman v. PLO resulted in a record award of $655M in damages against the Palestinian Authority terror network.

But the verdict was thrown out because an American court lacked jurisdiction over the terrorist group even though the United States provides much of the cash flow that its terrorists rely on.

The Anti-Terrorism Clarification Act was introduced and approved to make it clear that accepting security assistance for its "police force" would place the Palestinian Authority under judicial jurisdiction for lawsuits such as these.

The PA could stop funding terrorism or face lawsuits from its victims.

A ruthless battle was waged against ATCA by a variety of groups which understood that the PA would not stop funding and promoting terrorism under any circumstances.

These groups falsely claimed that ATCA would undermine American and Israeli security. That was a blatant lie. The only thing that ATCA would undermine was the flow of tax dollars to Islamic terrorists.

Last year, the PA informed the U.S. that the terror group would no longer accept any aid from the U.S. that would expose it to ATCA lawsuits. The terror group’s letter suggested that it might revisit its refusal if the law were changed.

That’s just what 6 Democrat senators, led by @SenFeinstein have set out to do, using the false claim of a humanitarian disaster.

“President Trump’s refusal to provide humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people is a strategic mistake,” Senator Feinstein claimed, accusing him of "denying funding for clean water, health care and schools in the West Bank and Gaza."

Senator @ChrisCoons urged that, “It is critical that we restore lifesaving aid to the West Bank and Gaza.”

.@SenatorJeffMerkley insisted that, “Aid to innocent civilians should not be caught up in broader geopolitical battles. We can and should restore aid to children and other vulnerable populations at the same time as we stand steadfastly by Israel’s security.”

But the real agenda revealed by their resolution shows that it’s not about humanitarian aid, but about restoring funding to the Islamic terrorists of the Palestinian Authority.

While Feinstein claims that Trump is preventing “clean water” and “health care” aid, her own resolution actually begins by admitting that, “the Palestinian Authority’s interpretation of the Anti-Terrorism Clarification Act… led the PA to reject all forms of U.S. assistance.”

The problem isn’t Trump. It isn’t the United States. (It is @TheDemocrats, including @IlhanMN, @RepRashida, @AOC and many others). The problem is that the Palestinian Authority is a terror group.
