Triple Play! Obama Blows Off Congress, Funds Palestinians, Lies About PA Stance on Israel

Friday night news dump: President Obama has decided to provide $192 million to the Palestinian Authority despite Congress’s freeze on PA funding after its president, Mahmoud Abbas, attempted to declare statehood unilaterally last September, in violation of the PA’s treaty commitments.

Obama’s “waiver” of the restrictions on Congress’s Palestinian Accountability Act was first reported in the foreign press (AFP), which is where Americans generally need to go to get news about what the U.S. administration is up to. A report from the Times of Israel is here. [Hat tip, Creeping Sharia.] The New York Times, evidently too busy reporting on how much Israel sucks, did not find this story fit to print.

White House spinmeister Tommy Vietor stated that President Obama made the decision to pour American taxpayer dollars into Palestinian coffers in order to ensure “the continued viability of the moderate PA government.” He added the claim that, as the report puts it, “the PA had fulfilled all its major obligations, such as recognizing Israel’s right to exist, renouncing violence and accepting the Road Map for Peace.”

In the real world, the very immoderate PA has reneged on all its commitments. In addition to violating its obligations by unilaterally declaring statehood, the PA has also agreed to form a unity government with Hamas, a terrorist organization that is the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. The PA continues to endorse terrorism against Israel as “resistance.” Moreover, the PA most certainly does not recognize Israel’s right to exist. Back in November, for example, Adil Sadeq, a PA official writing in the official PA daily, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, declared that Israelis

have a common mistake, or misconception by which they fool themselves, assuming that Fatah accepts them and recognizes the right of their state to exist, and that it is Hamas alone that loathes them and does not recognize the right of this state to exist. They ignore the fact that this state, based on a fabricated [Zionist] enterprise, never had any shred of a right to exist…

In sum, everything Obama is saying about Palestinian compliance is a lie. Even if we were not broke, we should not be giving the PA a dime. To borrow money so we can give it to them is truly nuts.

Will Congress do anything about it? There is a very simple answer to this: slash the executive branch’s budget. That is the weapon the framers gave Congress to rein in a corrupt, spendaholic executive branch. You could start with a treble damages rule: Obama gives $192 million to the PA against Congress’s directive, Congress responds by slashing $600 million out of the State Department’s budget. That would be start — though State would still have $51 billion left over to fund the Muslim Brotherhood and its other favorite Islamic supremacists.

Will this be in the New York Times?

Absolutely. Let me show you what it shall look like:

COURAGEOUS OBAMA FOILS CONGRESS
Undertakes Peace Initiative In Middle East

Washington (NYT) -- In an end-run around a recalcitrant and combative Congress, President Obama sent much-needed funds to the Palestinian Authority on Friday.

This move, trumpeted by the White House as a peacemaking gesture intended to stabilize the nascent Palestinian government, comes amid shrieks of protest from right-wing Congressmen.

"How dare he," sputtered John Boehner, "This is unconstitutional and illegal!" Several professors and media pundits were quick to disagree, "Nothing Obama does is unconstitutional. Look at the Supreme Court! How often have they ruled against him?" said George Stephanopolous.

(Etcetera)

Little bammy is far too humble to allow any such fanfare over his defense of the downtrodden.

His actual response was low-key and quiet, reflecting his ongoing desire to not take credit for his great deeds of humanitarianism.

Section 3 of Congress’s Palestinian Accountability Act, which applies to 2012, stipulates that “no funds available to any United States Government department or agency … may be obligated or expended with respect to providing funds to the Palestinian Authority.” Obama has now signed a waiver, however, the White House said Friday,

Well GOLLY!

He signed a waver for himself.

That settles that.

Sadly, a good possibility, yet I am starting to entertain hopes that the self-imposed, self-centered, condescending whores that consider themselves the elite are starting to wake up to fact that they have created a frigging monster.

Cuba is all very well, and an excellent destination for a Birkenstock romp with the peasantry, but one does not actually want to live in such a dreary place. They had no idea that the Socialist they invested with power was going to do exactly what he said he was going to do. They never considered, even remotely, is that somewhere along the line they would stop being the elite.

Now they are beginning to look with alarm at the reality of the force they set in motion. They see a wrecking ball that could upset their cozy lifestyles, their sinecures, and their power base, in numerous unpleasant ways.

Some may, but there’s a lot of smart people out there too. They know, they have to know, that their positions of power and influence depend, absolutely depend on their place in the current system.

You think the ward-heelers and lobbyists in all the progressive-supportive industrial leaders really want an end to American power? Sure, they encourage the rabble to think they do, but they like their Georgetown cocktail parties, their fancy restaurants, their country clubs...

A lot of them, Republicans and Democrat, have been playing — have been allowed to play — with the political machinery without any real inkling of the real nature of those forces. Obama’s new “eat-the-rich” meme is getting uncomfortably close to their own carefully tended gardens.

I don’t see them all going down without a fight.
