Palestinian Authority Will Honor More (Dead) Murderers Of Jews

The Palestinian Authority sponsored a sports tournament at a stadium named after a terrorist.
The event featured four teams that also were named after prominent Palestinian terrorists and terror supporters.
The competition came days after President Obama ended a six-month freeze on aid to the PA. The U.S. released $147 million reportedly to cover the costs of infrastructure, education, humanitarian aid and health projects for the Palestinians.

Billions Of US Aid To Palestinians Does Not Stop Them From Hating The US

The anti-US sentiments are the direct result of incitement by the Palestinian Authority and other Palestinians against the US. Palestinians are reminded almost every day that the US, which has been providing them with billions of dollars, as a foe rather than friend, although no one seems to ask how come a foe is so generous.

Khaled Abu Toameh writes about What the Palestinians Want--and one of the things the Palestinians do not want is the United States, regardless of Obama's releasing $192million of aid, which with $3.5 billion since 1994 makes USAID the leading provider of bilateral development assistance to the Palestinians.

US Blackmailing Palestinians? It's The Palestinians Trying To Blackmail The US!

Senior PLO official Saeb Erekat said on Sunday that US threats to withdraw aid to Palestinians over the bid for UN membership were "unacceptable".

Erekat told reporters in Cairo "we appreciate US aid, but to be blackmailed and bargained with over our right to self-determination, on Jerusalem, and on our Arab and Islamic identity is unacceptable.

$200 Million In Aid Held Back From Palestinian Arabs--And For Good Reason

According to The Independent, the $200million cut in US aid to Palestinian Arabs is a punishment of Abbas--threatening food aid, health care, and support for efforts to build a functioning state.

JTA is reporting that U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, the chairwoman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, is holding back nearly $200 million in humanitarian aid to the Palestinians.

However, that same JTA article points out:
Such holds on NGO money have been held in the past pending oversight to show that the NGOs are not working with terrorist groups. Ros-Lehtinen in recent weeks has expressed concern that a tentative agreement to unite the Palestinian Authority with Hamas is already in effect. Hamas is the U.S.-designated terrorist group that controls the Gaza Strip
Here is the summary of the Congressional Research Service report on US Foreign Aid to the Palestinians, which echos the same concerns of US aid ending up in the hands of Hamas:
