(IsraelNN.com) Congressman Jeff Flake (R-AZ), a member of the House International Relations Committee, introduced legislation that will prohibit further US financial assistance to the PA until the perpetrators of an October 15th deliberate attack on an American diplomatic convoy are handed over to US custody.

The attack killed three American members of the diplomatic security detail and badly wounded another. The attack also marked the first time Americans were intentionally targeted.

"Enough is enough. It is clear that the Palestinian Authority is not serious about stopping the terrorists in their midst," said Flake. "I see no logic in providing American aid to Yasser Arafat-money that directly or indirectly aids and abets terrorists-while he does nothing to stop the murders of Americans."

Good for Flake, but I would prefer to stop paying money to Arafat and the PA while they are still murdering ANYONE!!!

It should be extended to say no aid until all terrorists who have murdered AMERICANS and ISRAELIS are brought to Justice and terrorist groups are eliminated.

Exactly.

I hope all of you reading this will send your reps a letter letting them know you expect them to support Rep. Flake in this effort...

About 15 years overdue. (and a few billion dollars)

The PA would have to hand over Arafat.
