Palestinian Authority Paid Jihad Terrorists and Their Families Nearly $350 Million in 2017

35

The Palestinian Authority has never made any secret of this. It was known that this supposedly “moderate” organization paid jihad terrorists back in 2013, when Barack Obama fatuously said: “Of course, Israel cannot be expected to negotiate with anyone who is dedicated to its destruction. But while I know you have had differences with the Palestinian Authority, I believe that you do have a true partner in President Abbas.”

Only President Trump has dared to challenge this fiction, and to point out the obvious fact that for all the money we pour into the Palestinian Authority, we don’t see them taking the first, smallest step toward making peace with Israel. All the money that the U.S. pays to the “Palestinians” should be cut off immediately.

“Palestinian Authority Paid Terrorists and Their Families Nearly $350 Million in 2017,” by Deborah Danan, Breitbart, January 10, 2018:

TEL AVIV – In accordance with its “pay-for-slay” law, the Palestinian Authority last year paid terrorists and their families over $347 million, Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman said Tuesday.

Citing the PA’s own data, terrorists with three to five year prison sentences receive $580 dollars a month – equivalent to the average Palestinian income, Liberman told a session of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Tuesday.

Terrorists sentenced to 20 years or more – usually for the murder of Israeli civilians – receive more than $2,900 per month for their entire lives, five times the amount of a “small time” terrorist.

On top of the PA salary, Arab terrorists who hold Israeli citizenship receive a $145 bonus, more than the average Israeli income of around $2,700.

In addition, there are additional stipends for wives and children.

Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman said, “The PA pays over a billion shekels a year to terrorists and their families, thus encouraging and perpetuating terrorism.”

“The minute the amount of the payment is decided according to the severity of the crime and the length of the sentence – in other words, whoever murders and is sentenced to life in prison gets much more – that is funding terrorist attacks against Israeli citizens. There is nothing that better illustrates the PA’s support for terrorism. We must stop this,” he added.

Liberman also presented his bill proposing to deduct the amount paid by the Palestinian Authority to terrorists and their families from monies owed by Israel in taxes.

The PA has paid out NIS 4 billion ($1.12 billion) over the past four years towards terrorist salaries, as per PA law. According to Brig.-Gen. (res.) Yossi Kuperwasser, who served as the director general of the Ministry of Strategic Affairs, the longer a Palestinian security prisoner is jailed, “the higher the salary. … Anyone who has sat in prison for more than 30 years gets NIS 12,000 ($3,360) per month.”…

In August, Breitbart Jerusalem reported that PA President Mahmoud Abbas told President Donald Trump’s senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner that he wouldn’t stop payments to convicted terrorists until his “dying day.”

After his meeting with Kushner, Abbas issued a statement on Facebook in which he vowed again: “I will never stop [paying] the allowances to the families of the prisoners and released prisoners, even if this costs me my position and my presidency.”

“I will pay them until my dying day,” he added.

Foreign aid, or more specifically welfare is the only source in income for the palestinians. If all they are using it for is to pay off murderers, why are civilized countries giving them anything?

You’re right, we shouldn’t give them a nickel. Rewarding murderers for their crimes? What could go wrong? This is a no-brainer. It’s actually un-civilized to do so!

Many of the said countries are of the same mind, Mahou; believing that all that ails the world shall be solved with the annihilation of Israel and World Jewry. Students are being inundated with this anti-Jew doctrine as they were in Nazi Germany. I find the nations sponsoring the PA and others of its like guilty of the same anti-Semitic/Israel as those they patronize.

If you read the earlier story about the moslem knife and machete (why do moslems seem to love machetes?) attack, they also receive that generous stipend for killing American Christians.

With our money. When the so-called Palestinians were GIVEN Gaza, their leadership immediately destroyed all the orchards, all the businesses. Then demand money. P.S. Google the malls in Gaza, huge – with OUR money. Google the markets, Etc.

First, I won’t use google, as it is owned, and run, by moslem loving islamophiliacs. However, the greenhouses and orchards, developed … and paid for by Israelis, that they just left behind for the moslems (the vilest of ALL creatures), so that they would have a ready-made industry …. It was, and should still be, a major flower producer .. with exports to Europe … but, moslems bein’ moslems, tore them all down. However, what else is to be expected out of the descendants of the cross-breeding of monkeys with pigs (moslems)?

Sung to Bill Lehrer’s Werner Von Braun:

Gather round while I sing you of a moderate muslim clown
a man whose veracity is ruled by mendacity
call him a moderate, he won’t even frown
at his research in rocketry in old Nablus town

Don’t say that he’s an islamist
Say rather that he’s an moderist

once the rockets are up
who cares where they come down
that’s not my department says Abbas with a frown

some have harsh words for this muslim of renown
but some think kuffar attitude should be one of gratitude
like the terrorist pensioners of old Nablus town
who owe their large pensions to kufar jizya they’ve found

Abbas tells the kufar it’s easy to piss-on-ya
Once you’ve learned to count kufar jizya
in dollars and shekels and yen
and soon Chinese yuan says Abbas with a grin

I suppose there’s no point in saying if compromised gullible Western leaders hadn’t supplied all that tax payers money and more, the PA couldn’t have misused it ?

Do some of you guys realise how lucky you are to have Trump ?

100 years of residence of two peoples on a narrow strip of land proved that Jews and Arabs can not and should not live in one country. Every nation must live in its own country. This is the essence of the UN decision on the partition of Palestine.
ALL Jews were expelled from the Gaza Strip and from areas A and B.
It’s time to ALL 6 million Arabs of Palestine to obtain the citizenship of the Palestinian National Autonomy.
Only then will begin economical, political and physical separation of Jews and Arabs.
Without this, peace in Palestine is impossible.

Practically ALL the Jews in the entirety of the Mid-East and N. Africa have been ethnically cleansed by the f’ing muslums. Baghdad once had a majority Jewish population — right up until the muslums committed their Farhud pogrom against them.

With no economy to speak of who is paying for this. And when will Abbas die? Hopefully very soon without pay.

Although it is not surprising; it is utterly maddening and offensive that the PA is being enabled and supported by the culpable western governments and the multiple tag-along anti-Semitic/Israel movements. The pay-outs to Jihadists terrorists and their families are beyond repugnant but more importantly, betrays the PA’s and Abbas’ actual intent: no shock-and-awe, the eradication of Israel and world Jewry.

Moreover, the shameless and gratuitous sponsoring of this Islamic, mass-murdering cult by the equally anti-Israel/Jews within the said Western governments. This heinous funding of the PA Jihadists and others of their like is tantamount to the Allies sponsoring Hitler’s Reich’s Final Solution. I, for one, discern a parallel of this analogy as the PA’s and others aspirations, to achieve that which Nazism could not; the annihilation of World Jewry and needless to say, the State of Israel.
Martin Niemöller:
“Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Jew.Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”

We are all paying for our own destruction by no fault of our own. Politicians especially Obama raised aide or began it in counties producing the greatest number of terrorists. ISIS is Obama’s legacy.

#44 is and was not only CORRUPT but HATES AMERICA and is still trying to destroy, divide and destabilize us. Hopefully he ends up where he belongs, in federal prison.

Trump is 1000% right for stopping the welfare to Palestine (PLO), but another issues taking our money that Abbas pays the terrorist families. FK them!
