“It is unclear exactly where the money is coming from in light of the debts, but it is likely that international aid money will be funding the terror incentive, as past allocations for terrorists have been linked directly to US taxpayer money.” How nice. And remember: these are the “moderates,” Israel’s “partners for peace.” “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…” — Barack Obama, March 21, 2013
“Terrorist ‘Martyrs’ Families to Receive Millions of Dollars,” by Dalit Halevi and Tova Dvorin for Israel National News, March 24 (thanks to all who sent this in):
The Palestinian Authority (PA) continues to financially support terrorism, and families of terrorists were set to receive a great deal of that financial support, as PA official Rami Hamdallah pledged another $74 million from the PA budget to the families of ‘martyrs’ for the Palestinian Arab nationalist cause.
On Sunday, Hamdallah said that his government will continue to work to protect the rights of family members of the “martyrs” who were killed in the course of carrying out attacks on Israelis and their supporters abroad, and ensure that they “live dignified lives.”
During the third National Conference for the National Association of Families of Slain Palestinians, Hamdallah stated that the government – in a collaborative effort with the Association – has pledged full financial support for the spouses and children of the terror “martyrs.” The money will be pledged for the families to complete schooling and university studies; the pledge is in addition to a monthly salary and free medical care.
The PA has made the pledge despite massive debt, which tops a staggering 4.8 billion dollars.
It is unclear exactly where the money is coming from in light of the debts, but it is likely that international aid money will be funding the terror incentive, as past allocations for terrorists have been linked directly to US taxpayer money.

It is our federal tax $$ and the dhimmi EU’s Euro. M

This past Sunday’s 9:30 a.m. mass at the Church of the Immacolata in Richmond Heights, MO included a sermon about our “Palestinian brothers and sisters.” The Scripture was regarding Jesus and the Samaratin woman at the well. The priest–talk, thin, bald, and fast talking–described his Muslim and Jewish friends at the UN and their thoughts on the body’s recognition of Palestine.
My youngest said to me, “In the old days, you would have ripped that guy.” Incredible that this priest referred to the “awful treatment of the Palestinians by Israelis over the past 50 years.” I did want to ask what these atrocities were: access to medical care, sewer drain pipes by which to launch rockets?? At least my child is aware that the UN Human Rights Council is made up of members whose own countries treat women as chattel.
The myth of the “poor Palis” is way past its expiration date.

“I did want to ask what these atrocities were … ”
So why the *hell* didn’t you ?
You had the perfect time for a teaching moment, but you just sat back and said nothing.
And then you come on JW and post a comment which simply underlines utter moral cowardice.
No wonder we’re in such a horrific mess when ordinary people have’nt the guts to speak up.
Medina says
Jan, I find your comments rather harsh and insulting. Winning battles, losing wars and all that. I do not come here to complain, but relate. It’s practically over in the Church from my viewpoint.
I’ve probably schooled more teachers, prelates, and nuns in my life than anyone. The teachable moments I have include printing JW posts and mailing them to the parish, Office of Human Rights, and chancery on a weekly basis.
What in the hell are you doing, and don’t you live in Europe? Case rested.

Our Christian brothers and sisters in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Iran, Pakistan, Libya, Tonisia, Nigeria and Kenya, are being opressed, murdered and raped by the poor and not so poor “moderate” Islamists, and the victims of Islamist terroris seek and receive emergency medical help from the “Zionist Entity” at the “Apartheid State of Israel, where, surprise, surprise, some of the doctors and even Hospital Managers happen to be Israeli Muslim Arabs working side by side with their Jewish Christian and Druze colleagues.
Jerry says
UNRWA has been funding Jihad for more than sixty years now, at the cost of European and American taxpayers.
mortimer says
America is paying the suicide bombers.
jewdog says
Instead of throwing millions at the PA, why not laser in on the core problem: the ideological basis of Jihad.
Maybe the State Department should have a contest to see who can write the most peaceful, creatively abridged, version of the Koran and distribute it to the masses. I hear Ali Sina would be good at it.
Salah says
“Maybe the State Department should have a contest to see who can write the most peaceful, creatively abridged, version of the Koran.”
If you eliminate all the hate verses from the Qur’an you will end up with a blank pages book!
