President Donald Trump’s newest team member, Rudy Giuliani, who was appointed to serve as a White House attorney, told Palestinian Media Watch in a recent sit-down that the “Palestinian” (read: terror) Authority is not entitled to lay claim to its own statehood.
Giuliani came right out and said the PA was a “murder machine.”
No doubt, the left and Islam apology crowds of the world are shaking their heads and twittering about the appalling — appalling! — views of Giuliani. But he’s right.

And the United States shouldn’t be funneling money to this terror outlet.
More, from Palestinian Media Watch:
Palestinian Media Watch met with Rudy Giuliani, US President Donald Trump’s lawyer, on Wednesday, and documented to him the many ways that the PA glorifies terror and terrorists.
PMW’s Director Itamar Marcus and head of Legal Strategies Maurice Hirsch showed the former mayor of New York City PMW’s reports on the PA’s payment of salaries to terrorist prisoners, 31 PA schools named after terrorists as well as texts presenting terrorists as role models from PA schoolbooks.
Giuliani’s response was that these activities show the PA to be a “murder machine.” The PA’s response to terror including financial support and honor for terrorists makes them “a prime supporter of terrorism.”
Most significantly, Giuliani concluded that because of the PA’s terror support they are “therefore not entitled to be a state.”
In his statement to PMW, Giuliani focused on the PA’s policy of paying salaries to terrorists:

“The payment of money by the Palestinian Authority to terrorists who are convicted of terrorism is an absolute human rights outrage and a crime in and of itself. To give money to people who slaughter innocent human beings, including children and women and innocent people of all kinds, is a direct contribution to terrorism… The fact that the Palestinian Authority does this, carries this out on a massive scale, is yet another indication that the Palestinian Authority is a prime supporter of terrorism, and therefore not entitled to be a state.”
[Giuliani recorded statement to PMW, June 6, 2018]Giuliani believes that countries must cut off all funding to Palestinian Authority:
“The United States, for example, should not give the Palestinian Authority any money, and not just restrict the use of money, because money is fungible. So if they get money for one purpose, they just don’t use it for that purpose and they move it over to paying terrorists for killing Americans, because many of these terrorists have killed Americans as well as Israelis.”
Significantly, Giuliani recommends even stricter financial sanctions on the PA than were imposed by the US Congress’ recent Taylor Force Act (TFA). The TFA permits limited US funding of the PA for specific humanitarian needs. Giuliani is arguing that since money is fungible any funding to the PA is supporting terror.
Giuliani expressed warm appreciation to PMW for our work in exposing all of this to the international community:
“Palestinian Media Watch is doing a great service in documenting this on such a large scale, and I congratulate them and hope that they continue this activity until we cut this out.”
The following is Rudy Giuliani’s full statement to PMW following the meeting with PMW Director Itamar Marcus and PMW Head of Legal Strategies Maurice Hirsch:
Rudy Giuliani, lawyer to US President Donald Trump:
“The payment of money by the Palestinian Authority to terrorists who are convicted of terrorism is an absolute human rights outrage and a crime in and of itself. To give money to people who slaughter innocent human beings, including children and women and innocent people of all kinds, is a direct contribution to terrorism. It gives the terrorists the support that if they engage in these activities they can get basically a salary for life that could go to their families, and this is the kind of thing you do for people who are engaged in legitimate military activities, not for terrorists, and you have the blood of the future terrorists’ victims on your hands if you’re doing this. The fact that the Palestinian Authority does this, carries this out on a massive scale, is yet another indication that the Palestinian Authority is a prime supporter of terrorism, and therefore not entitled to be a state. This money should be cut off in any way that it could be. The United States, for example, should not give the Palestinian Authority any money, and not just restrict the use of money, because money is fungible. So if they get money for one purpose, they just don’t use it for that purpose and they move it over to paying terrorists for killing Americans, because many of these terrorists have killed Americans as well as Israelis and citizens of other countries. And if the American government cares about the lives of its citizens, it will stop supporting a murder machine, which is what the Palestinian Authority has become. Palestinian Media Watch is doing a great service in documenting this on such a large scale, and I congratulate them and hope that they continue this activity until we cut this out.”

Agree. Trump was conned by Abbas initially but when he found out the truth boy was he mad as hell at the jihadi http://bit.ly/2rOmfyJ
That’s when he decided enough is enough and that inspite of huge opposition led to shifting of Embassy to Jerusalem and No more funding to the jihadis.

Unfortunately we are still funding them, just funding them a little bit less.

Rudy is right; the fraudulent Palestinians are free-wheeling terrorists, there are no exceptions. Abbas is a terrorist whose political and rhetorical double-shuffling baffles the like of the EU and other Western, so-called, Democracies. Thankfully, President Trump finally came to conclude Abbas is not a statesman but a flim-flam man peddling terrorism and bent on his ultimate endeavor the annihilation of The State of Israel and the subsequent downfall of Western Democracy. The latter is near completion; Europe is a subjugate of Islam. Israel, on the other hand, will not fall to Islam but has to be vigilant when it comes to dealing with its supposed Western allies, the sole exception while Trump is President, is America.

While I agree with Giuliani and his comments, as long as the “Palestinians” continue to accuse Israel of being “occupiers,” no resolution of the conflict will ever result. I have stated on many occasions that since the Islamic believers consider all Jews “apes and pigs,”unworthy of life, those mentalities make any sought of compromise unmakeable and unworkable. Israel should define what it requires as defensible borders, provide some compensation for those Arabs who would be required to move out, and the Muslim world should absorb those who would be required to leave. Clearly, we should not be using any of our taxpayer money to fund groups who cannot accept the reality that Israel is there to stay, and we all must come to the reality that providing them funds which are used to pay terrorists or their families is the height of stupidity.

Why should there be compensation paid? Simply hang them by the neck until dead. Problem solved.

Um I’m tired of the US government extorting my hard-earned tax dollars to give to ANY totalitarian, theocratic, religious apartheid muslum states that would kill me for criticising their pedophile prophet for profit.

GIULIANI (one of the greatest Prosecutors of all time) + DERSHOWITZ (One of the greatest Defense attorneys of all time) = DREAM TEAM!

Rudy. Well said.

He’s correct. A FAKE people attempting to steal land (given to them by God) should never be entitled to become a State.

What exactly ARE the Palestinians? Even they do not seem to know, some of them believe they are Canaanite descendants, others say they are Arabs.
