Rand Paul Moves to Cut U.S. Aid to the Palestinians Over ICC Bid

[S.J.]

He's one of the better republicans. That means you fuckers won't let him anywhere near the Presidency.

Exactly, the tea party hates him...he reached out to the black community.

That won't do him any good.

Negativity or hate? Are you saying there are no black conservatives. Explain yourself.

I'm saying blacks vote Democrat, no matter what. Therefore, he won't get more than a handful of votes because he's not a Democrat.

So it is wrong to try? Nothing will ever change if you don't try.

Are you saying you don't want blacks in the GOP?

No, not at all, but I think the investment won't bring much of a return. Realistically, he's competing with a party that gives blacks a free ride in exchange for their votes. It's gonna be hard to convince them to give up that free ride. Don't get crazy, I'm not saying "all blacks" but it's like 80 or 90% of blacks who think Democrats are their friends. Am I wrong?

Second time Paul has sought to eliminate aid to PA

Sen. Rand Paul (R., Ky.) introduced a bill late Tuesday that would fully eliminate U.S. aid to the Palestinians until their leadership withdraws a controversial bid to join the International Criminal Court (ICC), according to a copy of the legislation exclusively obtained by the Free Beacon.

Paul’s bill comes on the heels of a bid by the Palestinian Authority and its President Mahmoud Abbas to win a seat on the ICC, which would allow the Palestinians to inundate the court with charges against Israel for so-called war crimes and other perceived infractions.

The new bill also responds to a direct request from Israel that Congress immediately punish the Palestinians for circumventing the peace process and pursuing action against Israel on the world stage.

Paul’s bill, the Defend Israel by Defunding Palestinian Foreign Aid Act of 2015, would freeze $440 million in aid that is annually sent to the Palestinian Authority (PA) and its affiliates.

Virtually all channels for aid disbursement to the PA would be choked off under the bill, according to the legislation.

The bill stipulates that “no amounts” of money can be “obligated or expended to provide any assistance, loan guarantee, or debt relief to the Palestinian Authority, or any affiliated governing entity, until the Palestinian Authority withdraws its request to join the International Criminal Court,” according to the legislation.

The legislation also would tighten existing regulations government how aid is disbursed to the PA.

That is a lie from you because I never said it. I said - I was forced to take it over and get it out of $600,000 in debt and I had to invest everything I had and make the rest.

Nutz, your pride is causing you to be blind to the truth. People vote in their own best interests. Why would blacks suddenly switch from being Republicans to Democrats within a decade? It's not because of the Tea Party, it's because the Democratic Party started writing checks. They sold out for a free ride.

No, you are simply ignorant and refuse to believe what you say is nonsense. If your theory were true...there would be a very significant white population that would vote democrat for the same reasons. That may very well be the case. Why the hypocrisy?

Serious question - Whites were slave owners, and blacks were slaves. When Lincoln freed the slaves White had to work their own lands, then all of a sudden blacks gained even more freedom in the 60's, but decided to be lazy like the white plantation owners by taking advantage of the white workers who pay for their benefits? Quite Ironic isn't it?

There is. I guarantee that whites on welfare vote Democrat. You should listen to some of those black conservatives. They will agree with me.

Damn U.N...we should stop funding them as well

UN Chief Says Palestine Will Join Int'l Court on April 1

UNITED NATIONS — U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said late Tuesday that the state of Palestine will join the International Criminal Court on April 1, a high-stakes move that will enable the Palestinians to pursue war-crimes charges against Israel.

The Palestinians submitted the documents ratifying the Rome Statute that established the court last Friday, the last formal step to accepting the jurisdiction of the world's permanent war crimes tribunal. The U.N. said the secretary-general would review the paperwork.

In a statement posted on the U.N.'s treaty website, the secretary-general announced his acceptance of the documents saying "the statute will enter into force for the State of Palestine on April 1, 2015" in accordance with the court's procedures. He said he was "acting in his capacity as depositary" for the documents of ratification.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas signed documents to join the ICC a day after the U.N. Security Council rejected a resolution on Dec. 30 that would have set a three-year deadline for the establishment of a Palestinian state on lands occupied by Israel.

Joining the ICC is part of a broader Palestinian strategy to pressure Israel into withdrawing from the territories and agreeing to Palestinian statehood. Abbas has been under heavy domestic pressure to take stronger action against Israel after a 50-day war between the Jewish state and militants in Gaza over the summer, tensions over holy sites in Jerusalem, and the failure of the last round of U.S.-led peace talks.

The Palestinian decision to join the ICC has already sparked retaliation from Israel which froze the transfer of more than $100 million in tax funds collected for the Palestinians on Saturday. It promised tougher action on Sunday.
