Free Palestine Bill [Withdrawn]

[Keystone Phil]

I will continue to side with our Israeli friends until the terrorist groups that control the Palestinian government step down from power. Otherwise, this government should not recognize Palestine and we definetley should not threaten a great ally with removal of aid because they are wary of those that wish to destroy them.

[Keystone Phil]

While this bill goes nowhere near far enough, I think it is a reasonable compromise.  However, I propose an amendment to Section 5:

If Israel does not meet the said conditions within six months of passage of this bill, the Republic of Atlasia will withdraw 75% of financial aid, plus an additional 5% for every month Israel fails to comply.

We're going to withdraw aid from our greatest ally in the Middle East (and one of our greatest allies in the entire world) because they are standing up to the people that want to "wipe them off the face of the map?"

Under their current government, Israel will never be recognized as a nation. This is nothing but a waste of time.

But then there are consequences against Palestine as we do not recognize them and continue to ally against them with Israel. 

Then this is pointless since they won't comply.

Hamas do not control the Palestinian Government.

Please explain.

Ismail Haniyeh was fired after the Gaza coup

Yep, the current government of Palestine is an emergency cabinet installed by Mahmoud Abbas and is completely made up of Fatah members. Haniyeh nor the Hamas party are involved in the current government of Palestine.

I thank my colleague and the President for this information.
