Action Alert: What You Can Do to Help Prevent Further Acts of Palestinian Terrorism Against Israeli Civilians

Dear Senator _____________,

Israel is experiencing its worst wave of Palestinian terrorist attacks in years. On February 13th, a 13-year-old Palestinian fatally stabbed a border policeman, 22-year-old Asil Su’ad, while in the span of a few hours a 14-year-old Palestinian stabbed a 17-year-old Israeli in the old city of Jerusalem. On Friday, February 10th, a six-year-old boy and his 8-year-old brother, along with a newly married 20-year-old man were murdered in a Palestinian terrorist attack, a car ramming aimed at civilians waiting for a bus. On January 27th, a 21-year-old Palestinian attacked Jewish worshipers as they were on their way home from Friday evening prayers in Synagogue, murdering 7 innocent people.

We strongly believe that part of the problem is the Palestinian glorification of terrorism and martyrdom, which constitutes the worst sort of child abuse imaginable—literally asking children to cut short their lives, as well as the lavish payments that the Palestinian Authority rewards the prisoners with–rich inducements to the families of the Palestinian prisoners and “martyrs” to commit acts of terrorism.

We would like to thank you for being a sponsor of the Taylor Force Act, which was signed into law in March 2018. The law specifically states that funding to the “Palestinian Authority. The Palestinian Liberation Organization and any successor or affiliated organizations may only be made if these organizations have terminated payments for acts of violence against Israeli citizens and United States citizens,” among other conditions.

​

Yet, the funding is apparently flowing into the areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority, unconditionally, from the current administration. We know that this is in direct violation of U.S. law.

As long as Palestinian children are incubated in such an atmosphere where acts of martyrdom and terrorism are encouraged against Jews, there can be no true peace between Israelis and Palestinians.

We would like you to please speak to the President about adhering to the federal law, and immediately halt all aid to the Palestinians until the incitement to hate and to murder Jews and the glorification of martyrdom immediately ceases.

We also would like you to sponsor the reintroduction of The Taylor Force Martyr Payment Prevention Act, which will prohibit international financial institutions from laundering money to the Palestinians in order to make these payments—largely in dollars, possible.

We believe that the exaltation of martyrdom is the true root cause of the problem between Israel and the Palestinians, guarantees a shortened life expectancy for young Palestinian children, and thus constitutes the worst sort of child abuse imaginable.

Thank you very much,

Your name
