(Bezalel Smotritch)
When you see the Biden administration, the media and anti-Israel leftists furiously ranting about the “extreme ultra-right wing” new Israeli government, this is what they’re really angry about.
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Sunday said he is pulling 138.8 million NIS belonging to the Palestinian Authority and frozen by Israel… and he intends to give the money to families of terror victims.
The funds, collected by Israel as customs and taxes belonging to the Palestinian government, were being withheld over the PA’s decision to fund the families of terrorists who were imprisoned or killed by Israeli forces.
“We’ve promised to fix this and today we are doing so,” Smotrich said.
“It is morally just and important for the war against terror. There is no greater justice than using the funds for the victims of terror,” he stated.
“The government of Israel is changing policy. There is no solace for the families of those murdered, but there is justice. I am pleased for the privilege to lead this policy, as one of the first steps as finance minister,” he said.
When asked whether his move would not further weaken the PA and strengthen the more militant Hamas terror group, the minister said the PA has chosen to encourage terror and the murder of Israelis.
“We will not accept this under any circumstances. The PA must stop its involvement in terror if it wants to survive. As long as it continues to encourage terror, it is our enemy and as such, what interest do we have to help it?” he said.
What exactly is the counterargument?
Bezalel Smotrich has been a top target of leftist smear campaigns because of common sense proposals like this. You know there’s no counterargument because all the media has is one hysterical headline after another.

Itamar ben Gvir, the other political figure targeted by the media, is taking down the flags of an enemy terror group.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir ordered the police on Sunday to remove any Palestinian flags flown in public spaces.
“It is inconceivable that lawbreakers will wave terror flags, incite and encourage terrorism,” Ben Gvir said late Sunday night.
“I have issued instructions for the removal of the flags, which support terrorism, from the public space and to stop incitement against the State of Israel.
“Freedom of expression does not extend to identifying with a terrorist and those who want to harm IDF soldiers,” he said.
He ordered Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai to instruct his officers to remove the flags, explaining that flying them shows support for a terror organization.
Israel is starting to look like Israel again.
There’s no counterargument to these decent, sensible and patriotic policies. And that’s why the media is launching into new deranged frenzies of hatred.
I would have ripped them off of every block in Mea Shearim if he had passed the law when I was there. Had to settle for ripping their posters down.
Eh, can you explain? Are you saying the residents of Mea Shearim are supporters of the PA? Sorry, I’m confused!
Looks like you are very easily confused . Or simply dumb . Or just argumentative .
Now if the USA and other western nations would do this to the leftists destroying the world progress would be made and the insanity reversed.
Time for Israel to finally hold the Islamofascist invaders accountable. End all foreign contacts, and funding
Well done. Good news.
It’s very simple why he refuses to recognise Israel and that is because as far as they are concerned they are the real Jews. Some might think think this is some sort of compliment. It isn’t.
Next steps could include yanking the Islamic Waqf from the Temple Mount and bull dozing the two abominations referred to as mosques that sit on the Temple Mount. Those would be a wonderful things to behold.

Whom can you remember doing that?
Bless Bibi! A true warrior for the people.
You can tell who your masters are by the ones you cannot criticize.
You’re damn really ght about those Fake-a-stinians!
You’re 100% correct. Leftists aren’t allowed to speak the truth about Fake-a-stinkians.
Wish Bibi was President here in the U.S.
We truly could use him here. Solid leader.
Our creator GOD gave Israel the land NOT the Islamic terrorists
So thankful for the STAND to protect the “ Apple of GOD’S Eye”
Peace and Blessings
