That money went to jew-hating terrorists instead of refugees. And how many people claim refugee status 70 years later. Arab arrogance has no limits.

the multitude of Arabic speaking nations generations ago, they want handouts from nations for being terrorists and they have gotten it! Long ago, there was a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Arizona College of Pharmacy who was Palestinian that illustrates how stupid Palestinians are. I asked him where he wanted to work after he finished his Ph.D. After all that money invested in his education by others, he did not want to use it and preferred to return to the refugee camps in the Middle East to help the refugees. The Palestinians should have left long ago and should not be allowed to return to the refugee tents where they mooch off other nations instead of getting jobs and providing for their own in other nations.

Instead of sponging money and then using it to pay terrorists, why not focus on building a proper sustainable piece of land where Arabs can be proud. You know, just like Israel did.

Now cut the other half of the aid. These people are not refugees and have been living on handouts for over 70 years now. Time to end the gravy train and turn off the money spigot.

It is known as...not throwing good money after bad...Abbas fails to accept that no part of Israel and most definitely no part of Jerusalem will eve rbe ceded to the tender mercies of any Arab/Islamist entity, other than which has historically been acceptable to the Jewish population as an historical and moral obligation for the so called holy places.
The national, political and historical claim of the Jews to Jerusalem in its entirety will be forever thus and for Abbas to whinge at the US removal of $3million dollars was due naturally to thank Abbas for his and the PAs insults to that generous nation; you do not bite the hand that feeds you...but wait a moment that is what Abbas does constantly.

If all handouts are cut the Pals will have no choice but to address their leadership situation or flee like the Venezuelans are now.

no money no pals.
The Arab pals are a mercenary force paid by the PA to murder and injure Jews in Israel.
Not another dime to fund terror.
