ourty six Americans were murdered on Oct 7 and another 12 taken hostage, but ahead of the October 7th first 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 there murdered over 1,700 people and received over $1 billion.

In 2023, before the October 7 attacks, a Freedom Center Investigation expose revealed that Israeli deaths shot up by 900% after Biden dispensed $1 billion in aid to the terrorist areas.

October 7th itself would likely never have happened without that blood money. In April 2021, the Biden-Harris Administration restored aid to the terrorist areas after it was nearly completely cut off by the Trump Administration.

By June 2021, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was planning what would later become the October 7th attacks.

In 2022, the number of Israeli deaths increased by 400% since the aid cutoff. 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 have 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 because we’re still funding them. 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 has come 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 continues to be seized by Hamas despite promises that is not happening. That’s how Hamas has been able to continue paying salaries to their terrorists since October 7th.

Aid trucks which come into Gaza have to pay tens of thousands of dollars to Hamas or turn over 50% of their cargo. Some aid trucks are just seized outright. Israel’s COGAT, which coordinates the entry of humanitarian aid, estimates over 50,000 trucks have entered Gaza since last October 7th.

Kamala falsely claimed, “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 has been hijacking the aid trucks. And Hamas terrorists have been secretly recorded complaining they no longer have more room for additional 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 continue paying salaries and fund its operations. Hamas learned how to do this from our failed “hearts and minds” strategy in Afghanistan.

The massive amounts of aid we sent to Afghanistan eventually became the largest source of income for the Taliban. The Islamic terror group imposed taxes on that aid: including taxing aid trucks and even military supply trucks. Under Obama, 10% of the Pentagon’s logistics contracts went to Taliban payoffs. We were literally paying Islamic terrorists 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 to 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 looking into 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 have 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 a large part of 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 warned. USAID 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 exactly what we’re doing.

The first year anniversary of October 7th should be a time to end the flow of US taxpayer money to terrorists. Instead it’s a time to take stock of the $1 billion we have already sent to the enemy. ✪
