A shocking investigation has uncovered that USAID provided $3.3 million in taxpayer money to a Gaza-based organization whose leader produces anti-Semitic rap content comparing Israel to Nazis, raising serious questions about oversight of U.S. foreign aid programs.

The organization "Tomorrow's Youth," led by rapper LXIV 64 (Raffoul Saadeh), received the substantial grant in 2022 under the guise of peace-building initiatives, despite evidence of the leader's inflammatory content. The funding came through the Nita M. Lowey Middle East Partnership for Peace Act (MEPPA), which was intended to foster peace and understanding between Israelis and Palestinians.

Palestinian Media Watch exposed that Saadeh's musical content includes explicit anti-Semitic themes, with his song "Scars of Gaza" containing direct comparisons of Israel to Nazi Germany - the exact opposite of the program's stated peace-building mission.

Congressman Mike Lawler (R-NY) has demanded accountability: "American taxpayer dollars are being used to fund hatred and anti-Semitism under the false pretense of peace-building. This is unconscionable and demands immediate investigation."

The funding was part of a larger $250 million MEPPA program, raising serious concerns about potential misuse of other grants. Critics point to a systematic failure in USAID's vetting process and question how an organization led by someone producing anti-Semitic content could receive millions in U.S. aid money.

The revelation comes amid broader concerns about U.S. aid money potentially supporting anti-Israel activities in Gaza, with calls growing for stricter oversight and immediate suspension of similar programs pending thorough investigation.
