But, not without criticism from an unexpected angle. Kay Wilson, a British-Israel victim of terror who survived a brutal machete attack that left her friend dead. On her Twitter account Ms. Wilson questions the sincerity of the Home Security who visited Yad Vashem, but also met with executives of the Palestinian Authority and continues to provide funding in-spite of the PA ongoing policy of monitory rewards to terrorist and their families.
One thing you can do @sajidjavid is stop giving the PA millions. They use the money to pay terrorists who murder people because they are Jews.
Ironic really… https://t.co/aycvPPjEi5— Kay Wilson (@kishkushkay) July 2, 2019

In her Tweets she writes that she ashed to meet with Home Secretary Sajid Javid but is being ignored.
Hi @sajidjavid its great you came to Israel. I am wondering why you met with the Palestinian who uses your British funds to reward my would-be murderers,( a UK citizen) and yet have not had the time to meet with me.
Its never to late.
Looking forward.. @MauriceHirsch4— Kay Wilson (@kishkushkay) July 2, 2019
