USAID Support for Islamic Terror

If only US-taxpayer support for Muslim terrorism through USAID were limited to enriching Jew-baiting rappers. It gets worse:

[C]urrent and former U.S. officials who worked closely with the embattled aid group say they watched for years as it funneled millions of dollars to anti-Israel advocacy groups and entities linked to terrorism. …

In November 2022, for instance, USAID awarded $100,000 to a Palestinian activist group whose leaders hailed the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a designated terror group. Just six days before Hamas’s Oct. 7 assault on Israel, USAID handed $900,000 “to a terror charity in Gaza involved with the son of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.” …

A February report from the Middle East Forum think tank found that USAID had awarded “millions of federal dollars” to “organizations directly in Gaza controlled by Hamas.”

Given the ongoing war of eradication Islam has been waging for 1,400 years, this represents treason against Western Civilization:

“Before and after Oct. 7, USAID flowed uncountable hundreds of millions of dollars toward Hamas that enabled it to launch the attack and keep battling Israel afterwards,” [Senator Ted] Cruz [R-TX] said. “The full story of USAID funding Hamas is vast and much of it was done in secret.”

In addition to funding terrorists,

Under Samantha Power, former president Joe Biden’s pick to run USAID, agency officials fought pro-Israel policymaking at the State Department, often urging their colleagues at Foggy Bottom to pare down statements that praised the Jewish state, former officials said. In 2021, during a period of conflict with Hamas, Power herself refused to meet with Israel’s ambassador unless Israel reached a ceasefire with the Iran-backed terror group.

In the context of fighting terrorists, ceasefire is often equivalent to surrender.

The depth of USAID’s maleficence may never be known, because according to inspector general Paul Martin, it “does not maintain a comprehensive internal database of subawardees.” They do not want us to know where our money has been going.

However, we do know that with leftist kooks like Obama’s UN ambassador Samantha Power in charge, it has not been going where we would want it to. In her capacity as USAID administrator, this malevolent moonbat even opined that fertilizer shortages that cause food shortage are good, because climate ideology.

USAID is a hill the Democratic Party seems willing to die on. Die it will — and not a moment too soon.
