Doubling Down on Hate
Three weeks ago we gave Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood government a $250 million economic stimulus package, and this week we decided to double-down in our national support for anti-Semites by giving the Palestinian Authority its own $500 million bonus. Never mind that this is the same Palestinian Authority that late last year directly defied the U.S. and violated the Oslo Agreements by pursuing non-member observer state status at the U.N. Never mind that this is the same Palestinian Authority ... Continue Reading

Aid to Muslim Brotherhood Egypt: Senator Rubio Steps Up
Opposition to funding our enemies is building. Just days after news that Congress cut the State Department’s request for Egypt funding, Senator Marco Rubio of Florida introduced an Amendment calling for tough new conditions on aid. Speaking from the Senate floor, Senator Rubio noted that foreign aid isn’t charity but is designed to “further our national interests.” Senator Rubio’s conditions require Egypt to demonstrate with actions, not just words, that it an al...

Aid to Muslim Brotherhood Egypt: We’re Slowing it Down
For months we’ve been demanding that the Obama Administration suspend American aid to Muslim Brotherhood-led Egypt. In fact, after an overwhelming public outcry, Congress placed a hold on aid to Egypt that had to this point deprived the Muslim Brotherhood of hundreds of millions of dollars. Last week it seemed that Congressional resistance had crumbled and the Administration was once again free to pour money into the Muslim Brotherhood. Secretary of State Kerry, just days after the Seq... Continue Reading

How Foolish Can We Be? (Sequester Edition)
Twelve days ago, I wondered aloud why we were sending 20 F-16s and 200 Abrams Main Battle Tanks to an Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood government so hostile to us that they were actually obstructing our investigation of the Benghazi attacks. Today, I’ve got a different question: As we impose across-the-board cuts on our own military, why are we giving the Muslim Brotherhood an economic stimulus? After administration officials worked overtime to tell the American people that the Sequester was ... Continue Reading

Secretary Kerry, Now is Not the Time to Give Money to Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood
Secretary of State John Kerry has made exactly the wrong move. Releasing $250 million in aid to Egypt’s fragile Muslim Brotherhood government -- based on nothing more than hopes and promises -- is the worst possible course of action and gives a hostile and repressive regime a lifeline at precisely the wrong time. In fact, given the Muslim Brotherhood’s recent record, it’s impossible to believe any promises of “reform.” As Egypt’s economy continues to crumble... Continue Reading

Egypt’s Morsi Called for “Boycott” of “All Products” Made by “American Enemies,” But Will Accept Our Arms
The radical Muslim Brotherhood president of Egypt, Mohammed Morsi, stands to benefit, later this month, from a gift of hundreds of American-made weapons of war, paid for by America’s taxpayers. Ironically, in a rant on Lebanese television in 2010, which can be seen in the video above translated into English by Middle East Media Research Institute, Morsi berated the “American enemies” and Israel, “which is supported by America and its weapons.” Now, we are planning...
