Britain Rocked By Revelation Of Taxpayer-Funded Palestinian Terror
2016-03-29
[LI] Great Britain’s Foreign Office and Department for International Development ("DFID") have funneled million of Pounds, at least, to terrorists. The report from the Daily Mail details how the UK’s policy of spending .7% of revenue on foreign aid distorts priorities and leads it to fund terror. The Daily Mail report builds on a broader investigation from Palestinian Media Watch ("PMW") evidencing the Palestinian Authority’s ("PA") attempts to hide banned payments to terrorists from Western donors.

Palestinian Media Watch blows the whistle

In its expose', The Daily Mail cites PMW’s recent report discussing the PA’s deception of Western donors. According to the Daily Mail, "a devastating new report to be released this week by Palestinian Media Watch, an Israeli NGO, suggests that Western donors have been duped by assertions that the Authority no longer funds terrorists."

Drawing on original Palestinian media, PMW documents the PA’s fraud on international donors. In 2011, PMW exposed that the PA was funneling foreign donations to terrorists and their families. Following international outcry, in 2014, the PA formally placed funding for convicted terrorists in the hands of the Palestine Liberation Organization -- the parent of Fatah and the PA itself.

#11  TW, that's .7% of National Income, I suspect that is. GDP figure? National Income, not Inland Revenue.

Conjecture.

#8  From the Daily Mail article Legal Insurrection links to:

Despite claims of astonishing waste, the Government maintains a dogged adherence to the commitment to spend 0.7 per cent of the nation’s income on foreign aid – the highest proportion of any of the world’s major economies –

#6  7% of revenue on foreign aid

You missed the decimal point, g(r)omgoru. It's 0.7%.

#4  Well, if you want to go after terrorists' financiers, I think we have a target.

#3  Eradication of the host is quite obviously not the objective. Big governments are to terrorism what Big Pharma is to illness and disease.

#2  7% of revenue on foreign aid

And 0.7% of revenue on defense?

#1  Every pound that goes towards "Palestinian" aid ends up funding terror.
