13-Apr-16: Parliament will debate UK funding of the PA's Rewards for Terror scheme

There's some welcome news from the UK.

We wrote five posts here in the past two and a half weeks about the revelations in a British newspaper, the Daily Mail, about the Palestinian Authority being funded by UK taxpayers to run its horrific Rewards for Terror scheme. (They don't call it that, but our description is right.)

Here are the links:

The Daily Mail's expose tied in to an online petition. 221,010 people had signed it when we looked just now. And the British parliament has noticed. Here's a screen shot of what appears on the petition page right now:

A debate on the issues raised by the petition is now scheduled to take place in the British parliament on June 13, 2016 and will be covered by live video.

The text of the petition is here. The Daily Mail article that energized the process is here. The UK government's response is on the petition page and its UK Aid strategy is laid out here.

European money, and taxpayer funds from other Western countries have been the fuel that has enabled more than a decade and a half of systematic Palestinian Arab acts of terror and murder. The connection between PA corruption, malevolence and mendacity through the Arafat and Abbas years has been there at all times for anyone who wanted to see.

Now perhaps we can hope for this to be stopped.

About us

THIS ONGOING WAR is not part of the activity of the Malki Foundation which was founded by us, Frimet and Arnold Roth of Jerusalem, on September 11, 2001. But it is inspired by the same tragic circumstances. The Malki Foundation (also known by its Hebrew name: Keren Malki) is a memorial to the life of our daughter, Malki who was murdered at the age of 15 in a massacre in the centre of Jerusalem carried out by Hamas.

Beyond its function as a remembrance of a beautiful life, the foundation provides tangible, concrete, invaluable support daily to several thousand Israeli families from every part of the religious and socio-economic spectrum: Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Druze and others who care at home for a seriously disabled child.

Good for the soul | The Malki Foundation

If you care to make a positive and constructive contribution to the care of Israeli children with special needs - whether they're Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Druze or unconnected to any particular faith community - you can't do better than direct your donation to the work of the Malki Foundation.

It's the charitable organization we, the bloggers who produce This Ongoing War, established in 2001 in memory of our murdered daughter. Her name is Malki.

Keren Malki (in Hebrew, Keren means 'foundation' or 'fund') is efficient, effective, non-sectarian, non-political and unique in the good work it does. Thousands of families from every part of our richly diverse society here in Israel have benefited in concrete and meaningful ways. Donations to Keren Malki are tax-effective in Israel, Canada, UK and the United States.

There's also plenty of background at www.malkifoundation.org as well as on the Malki Foundation Blog.
