There is no such thing as a Palestinian people. Those claiming so are Arabs that hate Israel and Jews. Those Arabs are supporters of Islamic terrorists under names such as the PLO (essentially the Palestinian Authority), Hamas, Islamic Jihad and probably a few others I can't name from memory. U.S. must stop funding these Islamic terrorists. There is petition sponsored by United with Israel. Sign the petition!

Stop Funding the Palestinian Authority
PETITION TO THE UNITED STATES AND EUROPEAN UNION
We, the undersigned, urge that the United States and the European Union to suspend aid to the Palestinian Authority. Since the Oslo Accords in 1993, the PA has actively participated in campaigns to demonize Israel, incite terror against Israeli citizens and glorify any anti-Israel activities. Since 2014, the PA has entered a unity agreement with Hamas, an internationally recognized terror organization whose Charter specifically calls for the destruction of the State of Israel, and by extension the Jewish People.
Most recently the PA has filed for membership in the International Criminal Court (ICC) with the sole purpose of prosecuting the State of Israel for alleged war crimes committed during Operation Protective Edge. This renders funding the Palestinian Authority to be in direct violation of US law.
Funding the PA is equivalent to funding terror and is against US law.
The PA Does Not Want Peaceful Coexistence with Israel
Time and again, the PA has failed to promote peaceful coexistence with Israel. Here are some of the FACTS about the PA’s agenda to destroy Israel:
§ Education - PA schools teach young children that Jews are the enemy and must leave Palestinian land, which they say includes all of Israel, or be killed.
§ Funding Terror - “The Palestinian Prisoners’ Law” provides a monthly salary to inmates convicted of terrorism-related offenses against Israel.
§ Embezzlement - PA President Mahmoud Abbas admits giving $46 million in US foreign aid to Palestinian prisoners. US tax dollars are funding PA terror.
§ War Crimes - A majority of Palestinians supported Hamas during the 2014 war they started against Israel by firing more than 4400 rockets from Gaza at Israeli civilians.
§ Partners in Terror - The PA has also openly supported terrorist groups (Hamas, Hezbollah) in firing more than 20,000 rockets and mortars into Israel since 2001.
§ Unilateral Statehood - President Abbas’ attempts to establish a Palestinian state at the UN Security Council show his unwillingness to negotiate in good faith with Israel.
Financial Support for the PA Violates Many US Laws
The Obama Administration and Congress violate US law by providing economic aid to the PA, especially since the establishment of a unity government with Hamas.
The Palestinian Anti-Terrorism Act of 2006 prohibits any US funds from going to Hamas, Hamas-controlled entities, or a power-sharing PA government that includes Hamas as a member, or results from an agreement with Hamas. In addition, the Act prohibits American support for the PA until it agrees to “recognize Israel, renounce violence and disarm.” Incitement to terror, payments to prisoners guilty of terrorism and its partnership with Hamas make it illegal for the US to provide any funding to the PA under this law.
The 2014 Consolidated Appropriations Act (Sec.7040) prohibits “assistance to Hamas or any entity effectively controlled by Hamas, any power-sharing government of which Hamas is member, or that results from an agreement with Hamas and over which Hamas exercises undue influence.” The PA’s unity government with Hamas makes it ineligible for US funds under this law.
H.R. 3547 Sec. 7041 prohibits “the availability of Economic Support Fund assistance under this Act for the PA if… the Palestinians initiate an International Criminal Court (ICC) investigation, or actively support such an investigation, that subjects Israeli nationals to an investigation for alleged crimes against Palestinians.” PA head Abbas has applied to the International Criminal Court to prosecute Israel for its alleged war crimes and for its “occupation” of Judea and Samaria - an act that makes it illegal for the US to continue to provide funding to his government under this law.
Blood Money: Funding the PA is Supporting Terrorism
We urge President Obama and the US Congress to suspend aid to the PA unless it “takes specific steps to renounce and eradicate terror.” We also urge the European Union and world leaders to recognize the Palestinian Authority as a supporter of terror and cease all funding immediately.
Signing this declaration will ensure that your name will be submitted to the White House, US Congressional leaders and the European Union, and that you will get important updates from United with Israel and its affiliates.
