Palestinian Accountability Act

Palestinian Accountability Act
By Bob Guzzardi

Rep. Joe Wilson (R-Ill8) will be introducing the Palestinian Accountability Act. Although it is likely to fail because of Democratic opposition, a vote will expose those who stand with Israel in its front line war with America’s enemies and the appeasers. There is no reason, as far as I can see, to finance terrorists. The Islamists are at war with Israel and with America. What is the point of financing those who are trying to destroy us and our values?

As RedState’s Daniel “Red Meat Conservative”  Horowitz point out: “For years, Democrats have played the game of voting for inconsequential resolutions, while tabling anti-PA bills with teeth, so people like Debbie Wasserman-Schultz can profess that they are just as pro-Israel as Republicans.”
In my view, every Democratic partisan is an Obama Enabler. Supporter an Enabler serves little purpose.

FYI Personnel is policy and Rep. Joe Walsh attended the ZOA’s Washington Mission lunch in May 2011.

“Congressman Joe Walsh (R-IL) is introducing legislation today that will finally halt the open-ended commitment to the Palestinians.  No, a few hundred million dollars in cuts will not balance the budget; however, we should not be sending one red cent to terrorists anywhere in the world.

Additionally, the bill withholds all funds from the PA beginning in 2012 unless there is an independent audit of the PA budget.

Also, our $250 million in aid to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the organization that harbors Palestinian terrorists under the guise of humanitarian aid, would be terminated unless the shady organization undergoes a similar audit.  Hopefully, those audits would be performed by the CBO instead of the State Department.  Furthermore, Walsh’s bill would withhold funds from the UN if any of its agencies recognize a Palestinian state later this year.

The bill won’t pass under suspension (2/3 majority threshold) because most Democrats won’t support it.  Nevertheless, they should schedule a conventional vote on this bill to see who truly stands with Israel.  For years, Democrats have played the game of voting for inconsequential resolutions, while tabling anti-PA bills with teeth, so people like Debbie Wasserman-Schultz can profess that they are just as pro-Israel as Republicans.
It’s time to see who stands on principle and is willing to end the ‘don’t ask don’t tell policy’ regarding Palestinian terror.”
