STOP FUNDING PALESTINIAN TERRORISTS
(Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, last Friday night, an Israeli family
sat down for Shabbat dinner to celebrate the birth of a new grandchild,
but a 19-year-old Palestinian terrorist put an end to this joyous
occasion.
The terrorist brutally attacked the Salomon family with a large
knife. Pictures of the family's home show a white floor stained red
with the blood of the innocents.
A father and two of his children were murdered that night. Upon
learning of the tragic event, Palestinians in Gaza took to the streets
to sing, dance, and celebrate. No Palestinian leader has even condemned
this grizzly attack.
Mr. Speaker, unfortunately, this is our U.S. tax dollars at work. The
millions the United States sends to the Palestinians are funneled to
terrorists and their families through the so-called martyrs fund. The
leaders we prop up glorify terrorists and incite violence.
The American people refuse to continue this insanity. We refuse to
continue enabling terror against the Israeli people.
And that is just the way it is.
