THE HOUSE HAS PASSED THE 200 MILLION DOLLAR PORTION OF THE AID TO THE PALESTINIANS. THEY HAVE TAKEN FIVE MILLION OF THAT AND DEDICATED IT TO ACCOUNTING OVERSIGHT. SECONDLY, THEY REMOVED THE RIGHT OF THE PRESIDENT TO WAIVE ANY RESTRICTIONS (IE. VIOLENCE, TERRORISM, INCITEMENT, ETC.). THIS WAIVER IN EFFECT NORMALLY EMASCULATES THE BILL. NOW THERE WILL BE GREATER OVERSIGHT ASSURING THAT THE PA IS LIVING UP TO ITS OBLIGATIONS.
THAT THE ADMINISTRATION DID NOT APPROVE OF THESE TWO PROVISIONS I UNDERSTAND. HOWEVER, WHEN PEACE NOW ETC. OPPOSE IT YOU REALIZE IT IS SOMETHING WE SHOULD SUPPORT. AIPAC WISELY ENDORSED THESE ACTIONS.
OUR TASK NOW IS TO MOBILIZE THE SENATE TO MAINTAIN THESE POINTS IN THE FINAL BILL AND NOT REMOVE THEM IN CONFERENCE (SHOULD THE SENATE NOT INCLUDE IT IN THEIR VERSION OF THE BILL).
COME ON JEWISH ORGANIZATIONS LET US HEAR FROM YOU PUBLICLY AND IMMEDIATELY!
