Obama Funding $313 Million In Mortgages For Palestinians On West Bank?
Gateway Pundit ^ | August 27,2012 | Mara Zebest

Posted on 08/27/2013 2:06:03 PM PDT by Hojczyk

CNSNews reports the following:

The U.S. government will fund $313 million in home mortgages for Palestinians living on the West Bank, according to a Government Accountability Office report released Monday.

The U.S. will also guarantee $110 million in loans to small- and medium-sized businesses located on the West Bank.

The mortgage and business-loan activities will be conducted by the federal Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC). “OPIC is the U.S. Government’s development finance institution,” says OPIC’s website. “OPIC provides financial products, such as loans and guaranties; political risk insurance; and support for investment funds, all of which help American businesses expand into emerging markets.”

The GAO report released Tuesday described some of the actions OPIC is taking in the emerging market of the Palestinian territories.

“U.S. agencies and implementing partners participate in various programs with the Palestine Investment Fund (PIF) or PIF-owned entities that include home mortgage financing, loan guarantees, and educational initiatives,” says the report. “First, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) along with PIF and other entities have committed to lend $485 million to the Affordable Mortgage and Loan Company (AMAL) to support mortgages for low- and medium-income borrowers in the West Bank.

This article is literally impossible, because Hamas will not allow the payment of interest, which is Haram in Islam.

Therefore, these are not loans.

They are potentially repayable grants.

What could possibly go wrong?

Obama’s HAMP Program a Stunning Success

Obama had lofty goals of helping 4 million Americans keep their homes with his Home Affordable Mortgage Program (HAMP).

Here are some quick facts:

HAMP modified 1.2 million mortgages (70% less than the target)
306,000 re-defaults
Another 88,000 at risk
The re-default rate is an alarming 30%
The re-default rate of those in since 2009 is 46%

Well, this is in the West Bank not Gaza, but when they take over there, they could well decide the interest isn't owed, in the name of Allah. I wouldn't bet on collecting the principal either.

baraq spreading the wealth around to his friends.

Let’s see, I’m guessing that the millions of dollars will be spent on community improvements such as rpg’s, AK rounds, and rockets to be launched into Isreal.
