Why would the State Department say that disclosing beneficiaries of U. S. Agency for International Development ( USAID ) funds in Gaza would put those recipients “at risk ” from Israeli forces? I think we may think that USAID was funding terror-tied or illegal criminal individuals/entities. After all, what else is there in jihad-loving Gaza?

With Hamas and the jihadi-funding Palestinian Authority in control in Gaza and the falsely labeled “West Bank ” ( actually Judea and Samaria ), and the overwhelming majority of Palestinians in support of jihad, you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone in Gaza ( aside, perhaps, from a handful of Christian churches ) who is not tied to or actively involved in genocidal terrorism. But the fact that provincial officials have reportedly claimed that the support beneficiaries of our tax money in Gaza could somehow be in risk if their personality is known indicates that there is certainly something very dubious going on.
Judicial Watch provided an upgrade this week on an ongoing challenge for accountability with the State Department that probably Secretary of State Marco Rubio can handle and remedy:
Judicial Watch announced now that Judge Reggie B. Walton has ordered the U. S. State Department to explain its claim that the recipients of a Biden-era United States Agency for International Development ( USAID ) Gaza aid grant cannot be disclosed because the agency’s workers could be put at risk by Israel. Now at a court reading on the topic Judge Walton was astonished at the State Department’s argument, as it always implied that it is the U. S. Government’s location that U. S. alliance Israel had purposely target and kill innocent weather staff in Gaza[. ] The order comes in a Freedom of Information Act ( FOIA ) lawsuit seeking records from USAID regarding$ 27 million in grants allocated to “Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees ” for use in Gaza.

We know, like the judge, that position is bosh, of course — Israel Defense Forces ( IDF) will even endanger its own men to try and avoid “civilian” casualties, in contrast to Hamas, which habitually stashes its weapons and hides its terror bases in or under civilian structures such as hospitals and schools.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton asked, “Were terror-linked parties funded by USAID? It sure looks that way. Furthermore, why are the State and Justice Departments pushing marxist insinuations against Israel in federal judge? Secretary Rubio and Attorney General Bondi want to ride herd and prevent this cover-up justified by a witty Strong State libel of Israel. ”
In fact, the Biden-Harris administration lavished a remarkable$ 13. 7 billion — at least — of our money on Islamist teams, including the Taliban, as I have recently explained:
That includes hundreds of millions of dollars to overwhelmingly pro-jihad Gazans, who are ruled by the extremist group Hamas, including financing for the failed Gaza pier that cost the life of at least one young American man , Quandarius D. Stanley. Thousands more dollars were funneled to the terrorism-infested UN company UNRWA. Amazing how Democrats love to finance Muslim mujahideen but never seem to worry a little about persecuted Christians and Jews, or perhaps about our own people suffering from natural disasters.

The Trump State Department can and should rely on accountability regarding the now-shuttered USAID’s original pro-terror money.
