The truth is that Britain and the US has been funding Palestinian terror for years and PM May knows this but refuses to withdraw funding: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/02/world/middleeast/palestine-mahmoud-ab.. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/02/world/middleeast/palestin.... "The issue of payments to families of suicide bombers and others who commit violence has become a frequent complaint by Israel and its supporters. The Palestinian Authority spends about $315 million a year to distribute cash and benefits to 36,000 families".... Only last week the Palestinians named a women's center after Dalal Mughrabi who hijacked a bus on Israel’s Coastal Road and killed 38 civilians, 13 of them children, and wounded over 70. I feel the pain of the British from the terrorist attacks, but why don't they stop all funding to the Palestinians until we can be certain they are no longer funding terror nor glorifying terrorists? Why doesn't President Trump stop all funding if he is truly serious about combatting terror?

I don't think it's the Palestinians in this case, but you are right all foreign relations ought to be examined.

It is very disturbing that people have down voted this implying the believe it is OK for US and British taxpayers to fund and incentivize Palestinian terrorists and funding a Palestinian government that names a women's center after a terrorist.

  Yitzhak Shamir was the leader of a self-avowed Zionist terrorist group that directly orchestrated the murders of hundreds of civilians, politicians, policemen, and scientists. Israel made him Prime Minister and, in honor of his centenary in recent months, has named research institutes and hospitals in his memory to add to the streets and parks that already bore his name. How much funding and incentive has Israel received from US and UK taxpayers?

    When it comes to terror, there is no middle ground. If you are against terror in the Britain and the US then you are against terror in Israel. > "hundreds of civilians, politicians, policemen, and scientists" Please cite your sources. The British had appointed the head of the Palestinians a terrorist who was responsible for the deaths of 73 Jewish students in Hebron in 1929 including 10 Americans. It was this man who became "The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem" who later spent WW II as a guest of Hitler's in Berlin. This man who was appointed by the British wanted Hitler to bring "The Final Solution" to the Middle East. It was Israel which bombed the Iraqi Nuclear Reactor which made Operation Desert Storm far easier than it would have been if Iraq would have had nuclear weapons. Israel is committed to fighting terror and not letting terrorists get away with terror. See Steven Spielberg's movie, "Munich" about how the Palestinian terrorists that killed 11 Israeli athletes in the 1972 Munich Olympics were tracked down and killed. Or see how once prevalent airplane hijackings were stopped by the Israeli "Raid on Entebbe" which itself was featured in 3 different movies. There has to be zero tolerance for terror. The Palestinians, instead of combatting terror embrace it. They honor terrorists and they pay them and their families over $300 million per year of US and British taxpayer money. http://www.timesofisrael.com/un-chief-pulls-support-for-palestinian-womens-center-named-after-terrorist/ http://www.timesofisrael.com/un-chief-pulls-support-for-pale... "Palestinian Media Watch, which first brought attention to the naming of the women’s center, recently quoted a local village leader saying that “the center will focus especially on the history of the struggle of Martyr Dalal Mughrabi and on presenting it to the youth groups, and…constitutes the beginning of the launch of enrichment activities regarding the history of the Palestinian struggle.” In addition to the women’s center in Burqa, the PA has named a number of events and facilities in honor of Mughrabi and the other terrorists who died during the massacre in a firefight with Israeli security forces, with the ruling Fatah party repeatedly hailing them as “martyrs.” There will never be a Palestinian State until the Palestinians elect leadership that denounce terror instead of embracing it.
