Trump Administration Takes New Action to Defend Israel

President Trump could ban the Palestinian president from entering the United States. The Free Beacon reports:

The Trump administration is being pressured to prevent Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas from entering the United States to participate in the upcoming United Nations General Assembly, a platform Abbas routinely uses to bash Israel and foment violence against it, according to a letter sent to the Trump administration and viewed by the Washington Free Beacon.

Palestinian Media Watch, or PMW, an advocacy organization that tracks anti-Semitism and calls for terrorism in the Palestinian media, is petitioning the White House, State, and Treasury Departments to deny Abbas entry to America under new federal statutes barring international terrorist leaders from traveling to the United States.

The pressure campaign—which is being met with passivity in the State Department—comes on the heels of the passage of new legislation cracking down on the Palestinian government’s use of American aid dollars to pay the salaries of convicted terrorists and their families.

That law, known as the Taylor Force Act, was approved by President Trump and recently implemented. Since that time, the Trump administration has frozen millions in aid dollars to the Palestinian government, frozen its bank accounts, and booted its top officials from the United States.

This would curb the vile anti-semitism spewing from the United Nations.

Don’t allow anyone to preach their propaganda, and their hate from this country. This is America, “In God We Trust,” Christian- Jewish hating Muslims should not be allowed on our soil, PERIOD! Dismantle and destroy the U.N. and send them all packing! As others have said, turn the United Nation building into a Veterans home, for our hero’s.

Any act or capitulation to a foreign agency that jeopardized our nation, its interest or its allies
should be, and must be prevented, in the name of self preservation of the free world. To not do so, would diminish the values and ethics we and our allies hold near and dear! Over past decades
Israel, its leaders and peoples has proven itself to be one of our most reliable friends and supporters. As they have stood by us, we too must be at their side in the years ahead.
