And yet we have politicians and pundits who insist that āwe should listen to the Israelisā and keep on funding the PLO. The āIsraelisā they want us to listen to are not the countryās elected government and its voters, but a fake organization with an agenda and links to Israelās opponents.
And so here we are funding terrorism to fight terrorism and listening to Israelis by ignoring them.
Sarah Yerkes of the Brookings Institution and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace argues that threatening to defund the PA unless it stops funding terrorism could lead to it refusing to change its policy of funding terrorism. If the PA doesnāt stop financing terror out of the goodness of its heart, weāre utterly helpless to do anything except keep shoving more money into its dirty and bloody hands.

The United States shouldnāt need a special bill to defund an Islamic terrorist group that has murdered many Americans over the years. We canāt end terrorism tomorrow. But we can at least stop funding it.
If only we can figure out how to stop writing the checks.
