Wall Street Journal rebukes Biden for US aid ending up in terrorists' hands

[YNet] The Wall Street Journal, known for its conservative stances, criticized U.S. President Joe Biden in an editorial published on Friday for facilitating the transfer of U.S. taxpayer money in the form of aid to the Palestinian Authority (PA) despite its policy of monthly payments to Palestinian prisoners convicted of terrorist activities against Israel and families of terrorists killed or injured by Israeli security forces.

Titled "Your Aid Dollars for Palestinian Terrorists," the author explains the controversial payment mechanism familiar to the Israeli public, which has been dubbed a "pay for slay" scheme.

It asserts that the West, viewing West Bank Palestinians as "moderate," offers significant economic support, with the European Union alone contributing $700 million annually.

The author notes that former President Donald Trump cut U.S. aid to the PA by over $200 million, but President Biden restored and even increased the support in 2021.

#1 Obviously Wall Street is not familiar with the plan.

#2 Everyone knows, and some even brag about it.

Ah, I see. 'Pay for Slay' is catchy. And can't have people know about this:

I'm going to make a guess here, and correct if wrong, but that the film of atrocities released was effective.

#3 The WSJ. Never Trump to the core, but wailing about Joe, who they helped grease the skids for.

F 'em.

#4 The WSJ Editorial Board is mildly concervative. The newsroom is woke

#5 They're just now waking up to the fact that Biden facilitates terrorism with American taxpayer dollars? Never mind those billions to Iran. Sending money to Gaza is like pouring gasoline into a dumpster fire. Then he tells the fire department to stand down. And WSJ finally figured it out? OK. Now ask if he does it on purpose because he hates Israel and he most particularly hates Netanyahu. But I know they'll never ask that.

I tried subscribing to WSJ a few years back. I thought it might be nice to have an actual paper newspaper to read in the morning. The article here demonstrates at least one good reason why I corrected that mistake by cancelling.

But here's some good news: The Washington Post Is in Full-Scale Collapse

#6 It has lost over half its readership and the analysis says a major cause was: "The data—yes, it really is that bad—suggests that the Post is not only suffering from the absence of a coherent business plan, but it is also suffering from a profound product problem."

#8 It was one thing when the Washington Post was the newspaper of the group that ran America, telling itself what it needed to know. It is quite another thing when it is the hobby of a nouveau riche tech centi-billionaire, intended to push his personal preferences in propaganda.
