Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

PA official: We will still pay terrorist salaries even if Israel cuts Palestinian funds

Jun 15, 2017 8:41 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

No matter how many excuses Westerners make about why jihadists hate and murder innocent infidels, they will keep on killing in the name of Islam in order to attain the rewards of “martyrdom.”

Israel transfers about NIS 5.4 billion ($1.5 billion) a year to the PA. According to the proposed bill, in 2016 the PA paid out NIS 1.1 billion ($303 million) in salaries and other benefits to terrorists and their families.

It is puzzling that Israel has engaged in this practice; perhaps it has a similar motive to that of the Western authorities who pursue suicidal immigration policies in the name of lending a helping hand and showing good will to Muslims (including jihadis); this is tolerance and acceptance of the intolerable. Now Israel is coming to its senses: “legislation, proposed by MK Elazar Stern (Yesh Atid), will see Israel slash around NIS 1 billion ($285 million) from the annual tax and customs revenues it collects for the Palestinians on goods.”

The bill, approved by the Ministerial Committee for Legislation, translates into the “theft of Palestinian money,” Qadura Fares said.

Fares lies with audacity, as is characteristic of Islamic supremacists. Every Western nation needs to stop funding the Palestinian jihad by halting payments that are made to the Palestinian Authority as “foreign aid.”

“PA Official: We Will Still Pay Terrorist Salaries Even If Israel Cuts Palestinian Funds”, by Deborah Danan, Breitbart, June 14, 2017:

TEL AVIV – Following the proposal of a new bill that would see a cut in funds to the Palestinian Authority equal to the salaries paid out to convicted terrorists, the chairman of the Palestinian Prisoners Club on Sunday vowed that the Palestinians will continue the payments regardless.

The bill, approved by the Ministerial Committee for Legislation, translates into the “theft of Palestinian money,” Qadura Fares said.

The legislation, proposed by MK Elazar Stern (Yesh Atid), will see Israel slash around NIS 1 billion ($285 million) from the annual tax and customs revenues it collects for the Palestinians on goods. The amount is equivalent to what the PA pays out to terrorists and their families. According to Stern, the fact that the PA “rewards and encourages murder” must stop because it is a “barrier to peace.”

Fares said the bill “strongly contradicts international law” and is an attempt “to stigmatize the Palestinian struggle with terrorism and to conflate the issues of the so-called war on terror with the Palestinian martyrs and prisoners who fought for freedom.”

Faras added that despite the setback, the payments to terrorists “will not stop.”

Israel transfers about NIS 5.4 billion ($1.5 billion) a year to the PA. According to the proposed bill, in 2016 the PA paid out NIS 1.1 billion ($303 million) in salaries and other benefits to terrorists and their families.

The amount of money that terrorists receive correlates to the length of their prison sentence, so that the deadliest terrorists receive the highest payout, reaching a few thousand dollars a month.

Breitbart Jerusalem reported another Fatah official as saying that the recent appointment of a jailed terrorist to a senior position within the party was proof that the terrorist salaries would not end anytime soon.

Fatah Central Committee member Jamal Muhaisen said the appointment of Karim Younes sends a clear message of defiance to the U.S. and other countries calling for the payments to stop.

Last month, PLO Director of Prisoners Affairs Issa Karake said that the position given to Younes, who was convicted of murdering an Israeli soldier in 1980, served as proof that “our prisoners are not terrorists.”

“I think that this is a very great and significant political response, [which says] that our prisoners are not terrorists and are not criminals……

A report presented to the Knesset’s Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee last month revealed that more than $1 billion has been paid by the PA over the past four years to terrorists and their families.

    The proportional reduction in funding could be a useful tool to locate and identify terrorist sympathisers in other countries by following the flow of money that will increase from outside.

    It seems incredible that Israel indirectly supports the families of terrorists; families most likely to generate more terrorists. It is also an incentive to “martyrdom” for the unproductive or incapable – the terrorist gets Jannah and the family gets an income.

    “Palestinian martyrs and prisoners who fought for freedom.” – think those who passed up peace offers, intend to annihilate Israel, and isolated themselves.

    It s America which should stop all aid to P.A. P.A should never be allowed to have control over the Christian HOLY SITES. Islam and Mohammad are basically ANTI-CHRIST and ANTI-JEWS AND CHRISTIANS.

    The GENOCIDAL, artificially concocted ‘Palestinians’ were created after the Six-Day War for the sole purpose of prosecuting GENOCIDE against Israel.

    ‘PALESTINIANS’ ARE (by definition) AT WAR WITH THE JEWISH STATE and with JEWS in GENERAL.

    They will find money to continue fighting even if there is no money for milk, shoes or bread for their children.

    Do these descendants of the Muslim scum from Saudi Arabia, that invaded and continue to illegally occupy Palestine, actually produce anything??

    On the other hand, these ” Palestinian ” parasites don’t need to produce and support themselves when they can just suck off the USA and the European Union.

    “Israel transfers about NIS 5.4 billion ($1.5 billion) a year to the PA.”

    The real name of this “transfer” is Jizyah, (extortion) pull “tax” money levied on all non-Muslims by their Mohammedan overlords. Don’t ask me why allegedly independent Jewish State agreed on such scheme. They may deny the nature of that “payment” but nevertheless it is what it REALLY is, no Buts allowed. It is in Qur’an. Deal with that!

    Israeli governments have been aiding and abetting the very ‘palestinians’ who are murdering their citizens for decades

    No matter how IRRATIONAL this mind set is, neither the news media nor the Israeli public showed any outrage at this since after the 1993 Oslo accord

    Every ‘penny’ that Israel with holds from the PA for terrorism subsidies, the Israeli government should declare PUBLICLY these monies will be used to BUILD settlements and let us see how the mythical ‘palestinians’ will respond!

    Muslims throughout 1400 years of history RESPECTED only one thing FORCE!

    With so much cash washing around, ALL PALLIES should be millionaires. Their leaders are. Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has a net worth of 100M USD. His son is a multimillionaire who took his fortune to Canada. Abbas’s mentor and predecessor, Yasser Arafat, was accused of embezzling billions of dollars of Palestinian money.

    What an unsavory crew of vicious, unconscionable villains.

      That true I remember when the Yasser Arafat die his wife was living in France. The PALLIES could not pay any of there civil workers pay rolls, cops ,teachers ect., because only Arafat had control and knew were all the money was. They had a little visit to his wife in France she agreed to had over about 900 million in Swiss bank accounts to be left along in France. I am sure she and her children had more then enough still salted away to live like feudal lords of old in France.

    In 2012, Elliott Abrams stated that “CORRUPTION is an insidious destroyer not only of Palestinian public finance but of faith in the entire political system. And it has certainly had an impact on potential donors. I can tell you from my own experience, as an American official seeking financial assistance for the PA from GULF ARAB GOVERNMENTS, that I was often told “why should we give them money when THEIR OFFICIALS WILL JUST STEAL IT?”

    Don’t anyone dare give them a dime.

    low IQ alrasooli,Palestinians are freedom fighters against illegal occupation by most evil racist nation on earth.the moneys being paid to palestinian authority are palestinian entitlement from the incomes generated from their territory by wicked coloniser under intermational law .so,stupid law iq, it is not a donation from your evil coreligionists.tell them to withdraw and for the palestinians to tap the resources themselves.As such evil state of israel has no right under its international obligation to divert the money to the construction of illegal jewish settlements. you are not proud kafir,you will be in despair when you die and casted into hottest stream of hellfire.idiot

      Palestinians do not believe in freedom. They believe in dictatorship. 12 years ago they voted in a government for 4 years. Guess what there have no more elections. You call that freedom?

      Ibrahim muhammed

      Muslims are in reality the LOWEST bipedal life form on Earth Rationally, Morally, Spiritually and Legally as you demonstrate in every one of your asinine comments and to prove my points try and refute the following~

      Can you name TEN Muslims who have contributed ANYTHING for the advancement and betterment of Humanity in ANY field of human endeavour in the last 600 years from among TWO billion Muslims?

      How is it possible that Jews constituting only 0.2% of humanity have achieved to gather 20% of all NOBEL prizes while MUSLIMS 20% of humanity collected LESS than 1.3%?

      If IQ al Rassooli is of low IQ how is this rational since IQ has had over $1,500,000 worth of CHALLENGES to all human beings to prove anything he reveals about Muhammad, his Quran, his Sunna and Muslims is untrue?

      In fact if you put the grey matter of all 1.5 billion Muslims in one, Robert Spencer alone would OBLITERATE this creature

      Muslims in non Muslim countries are a virulent deadly and PARASITIC virus

    Israel should not give the stinking Palestinians one red cent. Maybe then they will be forced to work for a living, rather than sit idle, get fat and plot terror.

      Send these ” Palestinians” back to Saudi Arabia and the Yemen where their invader ancestors came from.

      Let these ” Palestinians” suck off their Muslim brothers in Mecca and Sanna.
