(John Ransom, Headline USA) The American administration that is the head of a political party– the Democrats– which believes that the improper use of a pronoun is a human rights violation, is offering money for people who can find human rights violations by the state of Israel said the Jerusalem Post.
The money awards will be made in the form of a grant through a program run by the US State Department, said the Post
One critic of the grant awards said this is the same type of funding mechanism that Europeans use to fund terrorist organizations in the Middle East that operate against Israel.

“It’s hard to see any other explanation for this type of grant,” said Prof. Gerald Steinberg, director of NGO Monitor, which tracks funding for NGOs dealing with Israel-related issues, said the Jerusalem Post.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, charged that the bounties are just further proof that the Biden administration’s State Department is anti-Israel in both tone and practice, according to the Washington Free Beacon.
Israel is one of America’s most reliable allies, not just in the Middle East, but worldwide.
“This debacle shows, yet again, that the people setting Middle East policy for the Biden administration simply hate Israel,” Cruz told the Free Beacon. “They genuinely believe that Israel is like apartheid South Africa and that Israeli Jews should be boycotted.”
America First Legal Foundation (AFLF) filed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests that seek to find out where the money to pay the bounties is coming from and who at the State Department is involved in the decision-making as to where the money goes said the Free Beacon.
AFLF has previously denounced the administration for giving violent tools to the Palestinian terrorists to punish Israel for its opposition to Iran’s development of a nuclear weapon.
“Beginning in February, 2021, Biden Administration political officials began encouraging Palestinian violence tool to punish Israel for opposing the corrupt Iran nuclear deal,” said an AFLF statement announcing the FOIA requests.
“This administration has lied to Congress and is covering up Palestinian incitement, while at the same time funding efforts to divide Jerusalem and to build Palestinian military and security capabilities that our government knows will be used for terrorism against Jews,” added AFLF.
