Palestinian NGOs funded by US introduced kids to terrorists, watchdog finds

Millions in American tax dollars were passed on to Palestinian programs that introduced children in Gaza and the West Bank to convicted terrorists and presented them as role models, according to a new report from the Israeli watchdog group NGO Monitor.

"Many of these incidents occurred before grants were issued, indicating a failure to properly vet grantees," NGO Monitor said in a statement. "Several of them took place during the grant period, reflecting the need to continue to monitor grantees after funds are approved." The secondary recipients introduced kids to convicted terrorists and allegedly had children lobby on behalf of imprisoned Islamic Jihad members.
