Oct 7 marked the grim anniversary of the worst massacre of Jews since Holocaust. The terrorist perpetrators of it however could celebrate the over $1 billion in foreign aid from the U.S.
46 Americans had been murdered on Oct 7 and another 12 taken hostage, but ahead of the Oct 7 anniversary, USAID announced that it was sending another $336 million in taxpayer-funded ‘aid’ to the terrorist occupied territories in Israel behind the killings of Americans.
USAID boasted that this “brings the total U.S. humanitarian assistance announced for the Palestinian people to more than $1 billion since October 2023.”
The terrorists had murdered over 1,000 people and gotten over $1 billion.
In 2023, ahead of the Oct 7 attacks, a Freedom Center Investigates expose revealed that Israeli deaths shot up by 900% after Biden dispensed $1 billion in aid to the terrorist areas.
Oct 7 would likely never have happened without that blood money.
In April 2021, the Biden-Harris administration had restored aid to the terrorist areas after a near total cut off by the Trump administration.
By June 2021, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was planning what would become the Oct 7 attacks.
In 2022, the number of Israeli deaths had increased by 400% since the aid cutoff, and Hamas was drawing up plans for its own version of 9/11 targeting Israeli’s skyscrapers in Tel Aviv.
In 2022, Biden met with Palestinian Authority terror leader Mahmoud Abbas and boasted, “I reversed the policies of my predecessor and resumed aid to the Palestinians — more than a half a billion dollars in 2021.”
Why has Hamas still not been defeated? Part of the answer is we’re still funding it.
A Hamas commander recently told the Washington Post that “almost every facet of weapons production, from machine tools to agricultural chemicals for explosives, was either labeled for civilian use or hidden inside shipments of food or other everyday wares.”
Hamas funding came from Iran, but also “much of it siphoned from aid money, charitable contributions” and other supposedly legitimate sources. The aid that the Biden-Harris administration sends in continues to be seized by Hamas despite promises it would not happen.
That’s why Hamas has been able to keep paying salaries to terrorists since Oct 7.
Aid trucks that come into Gaza have to pay tens of thousands of dollars to Hamas or turn over 50% of their cargo. Some aid trucks are seized outright. Israel’s COGAT, which coordinates the entry of humanitarian aid, estimates that over 50,000 trucks have entered Gaza.
Kamala falsely claimed that, “the UN reports that no food has entered northern Gaza in nearly 2 weeks. Israel must urgently do more to facilitate the flow of aid to those in need.” In reality, Hamas was taking over the aid trucks. And Hamas terrorists were secretly recorded complaining that they had no more room for all the aid.
American foreign aid has likely become the largest source of funding for Hamas. As long as foreign aid continues to flow to Gaza, Hamas will be able to pay salaries and fund its operations.
Hamas learned all this from our failed “hearts and minds” strategy in Afghanistan.
The massive amounts of aid sent to Afghanistan became the largest source of income for the Taliban. The Islamic terror group imposed taxes on aid, including taxing aid trucks and even military supply trucks. Under Obama, 10% of the Pentagon’s logistics contracts went to Taliban payoffs. The Islamic terrorists were being paid hundreds of millions to leave our trucks alone.
Hamas and its political allies faked a famine in Gaza to undermine Israel’s military campaign and to cash in on the hundreds of millions in aid. Every truck that enters Gaza helps fund terror.
Under Samantha Power, an Obama official who once called for a military occupation of Israel, USAID has become a cash machine printing massive amounts of money for terrorists. Since the Taliban takeover, USAID has provided over $2 billion in aid for Afghanistan. Power and other officials stonewalled a watchdog investigation of whether aid was going to terrorists. A watchdog report from earlier this year found that more than half of USAID’s “implementing partners” who actually work on the ground in Afghanistan reported paying “taxes” to the Taliban.
Special licenses were issued allowing transactions with the Taliban and an Al Qaeda partner.
As far back as 2021, the Biden-Harris administration was aware that our foreign aid was going to Hamas. “We assess there is a high risk Hamas could potentially derive indirect, unintentional benefit from U.S. assistance to Gaza,” the State Department wrote, requesting exemptions from sanctions on aiding the terror group.
USAID instructions for aid groups in Gaza warn “if Hamas contacts you, be polite but minimize the contact” and “do not pay taxes or fees to the De Facto Authorities (DFAs) – we legally cannot reimburse you for them.” The DFAs are Hamas. Another guideline instructs, “do not pay any taxes, fees, levies etc. to the De Facto Authorities (DFAs) using USG funds.” The implication is that they have to bribe Hamas on their own. But the money for the implementing partners all ultimately comes from the United States government.
“In all likelihood, the Biden-Harris administration has prolonged the Gaza war, allowed aid to flow to Israel’s enemies, and misused taxpayer funds,” Senator Tom Cotton recently warnedUSAID Administrator Samantha Power. “You should immediately suspend all aid until taking credible and serious steps to stop Americans’ tax dollars from funding terrorists.”
Power and USAID have no intention of doing so. The over $1 billion sent into the terrorist areas in Israel and the over $2 billion sent into the terrorist areas of Afghanistan are only the beginning. Islamic terrorism will never end if we keep financing it. And that’s what we’re doing.
The anniversary of Oct 7 should have been a time to end the flow of taxpayer money to terrorists. Instead it’s a time to take stock of the $1 billion we have sent to the enemy.

Cashing in on killing Jews. Imagine how much more Hamas will get if Kammy wins a couple of weeks

Even if $1 makes into the hands of a terrorist group, all involved in this funding need to be arrested.
Let’s add the Imans in the US, leaders of Islamic Centers, professors, groups like CAIR, any CPUSA fronts, AND ANY DEMOCRAT IN CONGRESS AND OTHER LEADERSHIP POSITIONS!
LET’S ADD John Brennan, former CIA head, also a co-signer dismissing Hunter’s laptop, who is a Muslim and a Communist, who was in charge of conducting operations against all enemies which would then include ISLAMIC TERRORISTS, terrorist nations, and terrorist leaders like Abbas! Surely, on orders from the leader of the enemy within, OBAMA, Brennan was instead aiding and abetting all enemies! A four-year lull, then here we go again with FJB!
DEMOCRATS HAVE AIDED ENEMIES like Daniel Ortega, still ruling Nicaragua since ’79. They helped install him, protected him, and then never mentioning that he arrests ALL POLITICAL OPPONENTS “as a threat to our Democracy!” Sound familiar?
FIDEL AND RAUL CASTRO! Zapatistas in Chiapas! Maduro in Venezuela! THE MULLAHS OF IRAN!
DEMOCRATS… THE ENEMY WITHIN! The world is fire due to them! Trump is correct!
Dale Bluff says
“Brennan is behind the witch hunts of investigative journalists learning info from inside the beltway sources…There is a specific tasker from the [White House] to go after anyone printing materials negative to the Obama agenda.”
—Fred Burton, Stratfor, 21 Sep 2010
“Under the Obama administration … these [Hezbollah-related] investigations were tamped down for fear of rocking the boat with Iran and jeopardizing the nuclear deal”

Biden/Harris supporters should lock themselves away for the rest of their lives and live as Hermits
Steve Chavez says
Many of them were SIXTIES HIPPIES and had children, grandchildren, etc… and now they have children, The Circle of Communism filling the ranks of Democrats and now infecting everyone they come in contact with.

Funny you should say that.

John XY says
Were it not for liberals in the west; progressives, socialists and American politicians; Islamic terror would cease to exist. Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis can do what they do because they can reliably count on western liberal support, both money and anti-Semitic propaganda.
The billion in support direct to Hamas is in addition to the many billions sent Iran, who sponsors the three “H’s” and all their terror … by American Democrats. This is to say nothing of the billions in equipment given to the Taliban by Biden on our 20th Anniversary of 9/11!
Absent Biden/Harris support for terrorism, the Gaza war would have long since been won. The amount of blood on the hands of these people is astounding.
Stolen elections have consequences.
Steve Chavez says
And Cuba would be free of Communists. Add the Zapatistas in Chiapas! Iran! Venezuela! Nicaragua! Every University!;
Roark says
Samantha Powers is an inveterate Jew hater and Islamist. She hates Israel and is a Marxist radical who would have been running with the Weather Underground in the seventies. She is a fanatic.
USAID is a front organization for the CIA. It is my contention that the CIA has been in league with Islamic terror organizations to undermine Israel.
That theory became apparent when Samantha Powers gave Hamas a million dollars the week of the October 7th massacre:
https://nypost.com/2024/04/09/world-news/hamas-linked-charity-got-big-money-from-us-on-eve-of-oct-7/
That was their green light to move forward with their attack from the heinous regime of Hamas Joe and his Marxist comrades.
The proof is in the pudding.
victoryman says
You are 100% on target, Roark. Part of the problem is that the majority of people do not
know who Samantha Power is, or what she stands for. It is plain to see where the Biden/Harris administration stands in regard to Israel. The complicit and corrupt media have no interest in showing the truth here. Trump is correct. There is an enemy within. Until we have an honest media
is a major problem. The other major problem is apathy on the part of an electorate that was taught what to think, not how to think.
Rick says
One can tell when morality in one’s own country has been damaged or destroyed by seeing that its government gives money to both sides in war.
Look behind the MSM to see what the HARRIS-Biden (mal) administration has done since January 20, 2021!
Justin Swingle says
one of the (many) prices we pay as a nation for having a pack of ethically challenged sociopaths as leaders is that they will crawl in bed with anyone.
isn’t DOUG EMHOFF and lawyers crashing in on the Palestinian dole?
Alkflaeda says
Just seen this petition on one of the petition sites – I’ve sometimes seen and sympathised with comments to the effect that the US should expel the UN, but never yet anything that suggested that the boot should be on the other foot https://www.change.org/p/invoke-article-6-and-expel-the-us-from-the-united-nations
And why do they want the US out of the UN? You guessed it – alleged facilitation of Palestinian “genocide”.
Laurence Jarvik says
Crime pays in the Biden administration.
Stephen says
A Billion … so easy to write ,,, even easier if you TYPE (quickly) 1B …… say it fast “One Billion”
But lets break this down to little people money, (that’s marketing speak for MONEY PEOPLE HAVE TO WORK FOR )
A Billion is a thousand million, if you just gave it to real people you could make a thousand people millionaires.
If you gave it to people to pay their rent with, all their rent for a year, Thats 38, 461 years worth of rent ..
if you gave it to people to buy a weeks groceries with, (and how many people are struggling to afford groceries ATM )
THAT’s 2,000,000 grocery shops,,, LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN “THATS TWO MILLION GROCERY BUY’S”
INSTEAD OF FEEDING TWO MILLION PEOPLE OUR IDIOT GOVENRMENT IS FUNDING TERRORISTS ….
