US lawmakers voted Tuesday to withhold aid to the Palestinian Authority if it does not stop the controversial practice of so-called martyr payments to families of Palestinians convicted of terrorist attacks.The House of Representatives passed the legislation by a unanimous voice vote.
The bill would have to clear the US Senate and be signed by President Donald Trump in order to become law. But it highlights the outrage in Congress towards the Palestinian Authority's continued use of payments to convicted attackers' relatives, and to the attackers themselves while they are in prison.

If he just singled out them , he could be called anti-semitic. Why not cut foreign aid to all mideast/foreign regimes and spend the money on freedom causes at home instead.
