Momentum is building on Capitol Hill for a new congressional resolution that would cut more than $5 billion in U.S. aid to the Palestinians as a result of an increase in violence that has claimed the lives of at least eight Israelis and wounded many more, according to a copy of the measure viewed by the Free Beacon.
The bill comes amid criticism from lawmakers about the Obama administration’s response to the terrorism and efforts to blame Israel for the violence.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Tex.), among others, has demanded that Secretary of State John Kerry resign his post in light of accusations by the administration that Israel has fostered the violence as a result of its policies to combat Palestinian terrorism.
Rep. Martha McSally (R., Ariz.), a retired Air Force colonel, is now seeking to hold the Palestinian Authority directly responsible for the terrorist acts by cutting off U.S. taxpayer aid to the governing body, officials of which have called for more violence against Jewish people in recent days.

How much aid do we give the Palestinian terrorists?
Is it more than we give Israel ?
nothing ever for them. whats the purpose?
Obama will threaten to veto and the Repubs will cave ... again
We give them billions - yet swallow their excuse for violence as “poor”
It goes into the coffers of the head honchos...and to shell Israel. Arafat was a billionaire - with our tax dollars.
O’bummer - right out of the gate in 2009, shut down our space program and directed the money to go to “mostly Islamic countries’ - and Congress LET him!
You wonder why O’bummer is - for the third time, giving ZERO cost of living raise to Soc Sec? Only 3rd time since 1940 - all 3 by OI’bummer) He’s also got his JV team ISIS to support now - along with his little army of ‘Moderate Terrorists”
That’s kind of strange. If we’re going to fund terrorists you’d think we’d give them more when they’re terrorizing rather than less.
Exactly.
Kabuki Theater while WW3 starts building
Wanna bet that by the time Kongress gets finished it is increased?
Absolutely!
Just cut it already!
Let’s have noting but straight talk about this ugly, terrorist situation.
No more, BS about “cooling the violence and rhetoric ON BOTH SIDES”!
The violence and ugly rhetoric comes only from the MOSLEM SIDE!
AMEN... TED IS my HERO... period!!! and McSally , although I don’t know well certainly is on the right target!!
Kongress cannot get the lobbyist spoons out of their mouths long enough to do anything.
Write your Representative today, they will not even deny it.
Pigs don’t like to be bother while feeding.
We should NOT give the Palestinians one thin dime - not one. Nothing, zip, zero...
Article should read, “Congress Looks to Cut U.S. Aid to Raise their Conservative Credentials Through Symbolic Vote”
None of it matters unless they’re willing to let Obama shut down the government for it.
My representative is Lynn Jenkins. In other words, I have no representative.
Why would the US be funding Hamas anyway? Oh wait.... Obama/Democrats = traitors to America, enemies of Israel, friends of all who hate America and Israel.
Nevermind.
