United States Security Coordinator for Israel and the Palestinian Authority (USSC) and lead a 145-person joint, coalition and interagency team. The 16 US-DoD personnel assigned to the USSC form the heart of this unique organization and we work with nine international partners of which Canada and the United Kingdom play critical leadership roles. These DOD members are assigned to the State Department and State pays all the bills except for salaries; my boss is the Secretary of State. We live in the region with our headquarters in Jerusalem.
One-hundred and sixty-one salary receiving aides to the PA from the United States!
And that the
program funding is separate from the $2.994B in direct assistance to the State of Israel that Congress approved for FY 2011
Shouldn't that also be separate from what the PA receives, as well?
(k/t = Challah Hu Akbar)
But what that committee should have been reviewing in addition is what the US Consulate-General does in its everyday pro-Pal. activities in that there is blatant discrimination against Jews in their funding and activities. Jews residing in its territory of concern are excluded from benefits of a cultural, civic and economic nature. Only Arabs, Muslims or Christians can gain from US-sponsored programs of democracy, sports, music, academia, etc. That's not the American way.
That's what US Congressional oversight should be concerned with as well.
Write your Congressman/woman and write to the Committee.
Please.
