Under President Joe Biden, the federal government has dished out hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants to Gaza and West Bank-based groups with ties to terror factions, including Hamas, records show.
The grants, which were awarded by the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development, have become increasingly relevant amid the Israel-Gaza conflict beginning last Saturday due to Hamas attacking the Jewish state of Israel. The death toll in Israel has reached 1,300, while at least 27 U.S. citizens have been killed, and 1,500 people in Gaza are dead, according to estimates. Around 20 Americans are also missing, the White House said this week.
"The willful blindness of this administration to what's going on is just extensive," said Marc Greendorfer, an attorney who heads Zachor Legal Institute, a pro-Israel think tank that filed an amicus brief last week urging the Supreme Court to accept a case brought on behalf of Americans injured by Hamas that alleges its foreign fundraising arm is the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, an anti-Israel coalition.
"The Biden administration has been funding all of these radical groups that are fronts for terror," he told the Washington Examiner.
