“West Bank terror: A killer’s last testament on Facebook,” by Eytan Halon, Jerusalem Post, July 22, 2017 (thanks to the Geller Report):
Less than two hours prior to the terror attack that claimed the lives of three Israeli citizens and seriously wounded one more, 19-year- old Omar al Abed from the West Bank village of Khobar wrote what he presumed would be his final words on Facebook.
With these final sentences, and expecting to die, he walked the short distance from his village to the West Bank settlement of Halamish and stabbed four people in their home.
“I am writing my last testament and these are my last words,” wrote al Abed.
“I am young, not even twenty-years old, I had many dreams and many aspirations. But what life is this in which our women and our young are murdered without any justification? They are desecrating the al-Aksa mosque and we are sleeping, it’s an embarrassment that we are idly sitting by.
“You, those who have a gun and who are worn out, you who only bring out your gun at weddings and celebrations, are you not ashamed of yourselves? Why are you not declaring war for God? Here they are closing the al-Aksa mosque and your gun is silent.
“All that I have is a sharpened knife, and it is answering the call of al-Aksa. Shame on you, you who preach hatred. God will take revenge on you and will make it count. All of us are the sons of Palestine and the sons of al-Aksa. You, sons of monkeys and pigs, if you do not open the gates of al-Aksa, I am sure that men will follow me and will hit you with an iron fist, I am warning you.”…

Stop Supporting Palestinian Terror Why Congress should pass the Taylor Force Act
By Elliott Abrams — Mr. Abrams, a deputy national-security adviser in the George W. Bush administration, is a senior fellow for Middle Eastern studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. He is the author of Tested by Zion: The Bush Administration and the Israeli–Palestinian Conflict.
Since the “Middle East Peace Process” began in 1993 with the Oslo Accords, the United States has permitted the two key Palestinian organizations — the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian Authority (PA) — to get away with murder. Well, let’s not exaggerate: Not precisely to get away with murder, but to get away with fostering, celebrating, and honoring murder. It’s time to end this scandalous American policy and insist that the Palestinians meet standards we would apply to any other aid recipients anywhere else in the world.
In what sense are they getting away with “fostering, celebrating, and honoring murder”? Two ways. First, Palestinian official bodies celebrate those who kill Israelis by naming streets, schools, and parks after them. The message to young Palestinians is clear: This is the behavior we honor and these are the models you should follow. The best, in other words the worst, example is Dalal Mughrabi, the terrorist who led the 1978 “Coastal Road massacre,” which killed 38 Israelis, including 13 children. Two girls’ high schools, a computer center, a soccer championship, two summer camps, and a public square are named after her.
Meanwhile, Palestinian official media continue what is now known as “incitement,” in other words, the teaching of hatred and the provision of a vast flow of lies to Palestinians about their situation and that of Israel. To take one minor and very recent example, in the first week of March, the official PA daily, Al-Hayat al-Jadida, carried an op-ed by one of its regular columnists stating that the late Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon had murdered Yasser Arafat by having him poisoned. PA television carries program after program, speech after speech, calling Jews “apes,” “pigs,” and “barbaric monkeys.” None of this can be defended as a matter of simply allowing speech: Official PA television and radio stations carry such programming, and PA publications print such language, so this is clearly a matter of official policy. Groups such as Palestine Media Watch keep careful records of these PA and PLO practices.
Second, the PA and PLO foster, honor, and celebrate terror by actually paying money to those who commit crimes of violence against Israelis — and the greater the crime, the more you get paid. There is a sliding scale, and the longer your sentence, the higher the stipend. Murderers can get up to $3,500 a month. Those convicted of lesser crimes and sentenced to five years in prison or less receive a base stipend of $350 per month. Two examples of those getting the maximum: Issa Abed Rabbo, who shot to death two Hebrew University students he found hiking, and Abu-Musa Atia, who used an axe to murder Isaac Rotenberg, an elderly Holocaust survivor. The excuse that these payments are meant only to help prisoners’ families survive does not wash, because if that were the goal, the stipend would depend on family size. Instead, the worse your crime, the more money you get.
And who is paying for all this? In part, the United States. While president after president has since the 1990s demanded an end to “incitement,” little has been done to change Palestinian political culture. So generation after generation is raised to view terrorists as their society’s most honored members. U.S. aid to Palestinians now runs at about $400 million a year. To some extent, all aid funds are fungible, and Congress has noticed — so the Palestinians took action to protect their flow of funds. The Congressional Research Service noted that “in 2014, the Palestinians reportedly shifted the responsibility for making these payments [to terrorists] from the PA to the PLO budget.” Why? Because foreign aid, including American aid, goes to the PA; the shift was an effort to isolate the PA from these terrorist payments. But that change from the PA to the PLO was essentially meaningless, because the distinction between the PA and the PLO is, for these purposes, nonexistent; Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas heads both.
Well, it is meaningless except in one regard: There is a PLO office in Washington. Under a 1987 law, the PLO is not permitted to have an office in Washington unless the president signs a waiver, every six months, stating that it is in the national-security interests of the United States to allow the office to remain. The PLO requires such a waiver because of its support for and engagement in terrorism, but every president over the past several decades has signed a waiver. Today, the waiver is indefensible: The PLO is now making direct payments to terrorists, rewarding them for their violence. How can it be in the interests of the United States — with a new president who has campaigned on stopping “radical Islamic terrorism” — to permit the PLO to have a diplomatic office here?
In 2015, the State Department defended the waiver this way: “We believe the PLO is an important partner in advancing the two-state solution. We believe closing the PLO office would be detrimental to our ongoing efforts to calm current tensions between Israelis and Palestinians, advance a two-state solution, and strengthen the U.S.–Palestinian partnership.” So a group that now pays millions of dollars to reward terrorism is cast as a key element of making peace. It makes no sense.
That is why there is growing support for S. 474, a bill — introduced by Senator Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) and supported by Senators Tom Cotton (R., Ark.), Ted Cruz (R., Texas), Marco Rubio (R., Fla.), and others — that would restrict funds “available for assistance for the West Bank and Gaza” unless the president certified that the PA was “taking credible steps to end acts of violence against Israeli citizens” and that it had “terminated payments for acts of terrorism against Israeli citizens.” (The bill does need one amendment: Given the overlap between the PA and the PLO, the PA should not be eligible for funding merely because it assigns the job of paying terrorists to the PLO.)
Is this legislation wise? The usual defenses for maintaining aid to the Palestinians are two: protecting the “peace process” and preventing the PA’s collapse. As to the former, what “peace process”? The eight Obama years saw no serious Israeli–Palestinian negotiations. Palestinian politics are frozen today, with the 82-year-old President Abbas hanging on to power and completely unwilling to take the risks and make the compromises that serious peace negotiations would entail. The notion that fear of damaging the “peace process” should lead us to continue to support payments to terrorists and their families is both completely unpersuasive and a formula for permanent inaction. We would find ourselves paying yet another generation of terrorists for their crimes decade after decade.
The notion of preventing the PA’s collapse is also a weak defense for the status quo. The fear is that the PA’s collapse would force Israel to take up greater responsibilities and bear greater costs in the West Bank (though not in Hamas-controlled Gaza). In fact, S. 474 would, if passed, not collapse the PA. It is, first, restricted to limiting or stopping the “Economic Support Fund,” just one aid account. Assistance to Palestinian security forces that work with Israel against Hamas and other terrorist groups could continue. Aid to the Palestinians through the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), the U.N. agency that supports Palestinian “refugees” — now running about $250 million a year — could also continue. (UNRWA should itself be eliminated and folded into UNHCR, the U.N. refugee agency for every group in the world except Palestinians, but that’s another story.)
What would be limited or stopped are two forms of aid: project assistance undertaken by the U.S. Agency for International Development and direct payments to PA creditors. Prior to 2014, in the Bush and Obama years, there was some direct budget support (in other words, cash) for the PA, but that has been discontinued — and rightly so. Now, payments are directed to PA creditors such as the Israeli electric company or suppliers of medical care. Recently the United Kingdom, which had been making cash grants to the PA, moved to paying teachers and suppliers of medical care directly after it concluded that PA cash was being used to pay salaries of terrorists.
Why stop such assistance? Money is fungible, and when the United States pays a bill for the PA, it frees up funds that can then be directed to payments to prisoners and their families. These payments now total about 6 percent (and there are higher estimates, up to 10 percent) of the PA budget and reach somewhere between $200 and $300 million, perhaps more, each year.
S. 474 is known as the Taylor Force Act, in honor of the young American student and U.S. Army veteran Taylor Force, who was murdered last year by a Palestinian terrorist. In a grotesque example of glorification of terror, official PA television covered the murderer’s funeral and referred to him as a “shahid” (an Arabic word clearly meaning “martyr” in this context) eleven times; the official PA newspaper also said he “died as a martyr.” In fact, he was killed by Israeli police after he killed Taylor Force and wounded eleven others.
Isn’t it still true that if we cut aid, some innocent Palestinians will be deprived of good projects that benefit them, and that some real creditors, including Israeli companies, won’t get paid? That is true, and many people, including some Israeli officials, will say that practical considerations argue for continuing our aid.
But principle argues against it. There will never be peace if generation after generation of Palestinian youth are reared to honor terrorists. The greatest barrier to peace is a Palestinian political culture that elevates violence against Israelis above any positive achievements, including even democracy, national sovereignty, and economic development. There will never be an end to such glorification of murder unless there is a heavy price to be paid for it. We’ve tried lecturing the PLO and PA leaders, and we’ve tried changing our aid from cash to targeted grants — and we’ve failed. It’s entirely plausible that the Taylor Force Act will also fail: Perhaps Palestinian leaders will find other donors to make up the shortfall, or perhaps they and a majority of Palestinians would rather forgo the assistance than stop honoring terrorists like Taylor Force’s killer as “martyrs.” But we will have taken a stand; we will have made it clear that we find such conduct intolerable.
The Taylor Force Act will show that we do not find glorification of terrorism to be unfortunate or distasteful — we find it unacceptable and will impose a punishment if it continues. That is the right policy for the United States everywhere, including the case of the Palestinians. In a world where we are fighting the scourge of terrorism, we cannot allow the West Bank to become a small bubble in which terrorism is honored at American taxpayers’ expense.

Incentivizing Terrorism:
Palestinian Authority Allocations to Terrorists and their Families
Brig.-Gen. (res.) Yossi Kuperwasser
The Palestinian Authority’s legislation and allocations of monthly salaries and benefits rewarding imprisoned and released terrorists, and the families of “Martyrs,” amount to $300 million annually. This financial reward clearly demonstrates the PA’s institutional commitment to sponsoring terror against Israel…
Conclusion
The Palestinian Authority’s institutionalized and legislated salary payments of more than $300 million annually to imprisoned terrorists and the families of terrorists who died while carrying out terror attacks reflect the ironclad formal commitment of the PA and its leadership to incentivize Palestinian society to commit acts of terror. This constitutes the major obstacle to peace and a violation of all the commitments of the Palestinians in their internationally guaranteed agreements with Israel. As such, it casts a dark shadow over the international donor community’s assistance to the PA. This state of affairs is intolerable, immoral, and must be rectified…

Facebook and others break US law with their discrimination. Any business that serves the public can only discriminate on clear user agreements such as, “No shirt, no shoes, no service”. If you are baking donuts and selling them to the public (not to be confused with commissioned works of art such as a wedding cake), you have to sell without discrimination. A tort law firm has a good class action lawsuit against Facebook and others like them. The offending companies rely on “community guidelines”, but those had better be easy to understand and nondiscriminatory. No one who sells to the public can discriminate on ideology. Facebook and other companies are creating a huge liability to themselves.
Kesselman says
The Pal-Arab combination of religion and terrorism are a highly explosive cocktail. Islam’s reality dictates that might makes right. That notion permeates all of the Muslim nations. Islam per se is perceived as the strongest ideology thus permitted to reign over the inferiors.
What is commonly associated with such a worldview? Correct, Nazism, and as such Islam has to be fought.
As with fascism in the 1940s, it’s necessary to combat Islamism with fierce force. With no real end in sight in the War on Terror, the “new normal” of constant deployments and unending conflict is a condition that the majority of the military has come to accept. Is there a better way?

What self-pity the murderer shows in his excuses to justify his evil intentions to commit multiple homicides!
Since the truly wretched al-Abed was a mass murdering multiple violator of God’s Sixth Commandment condemning murder,he is the very one that will be suffering God’s vengeance.
As a follower of {the commandment-violating “slay the unbelievers wherever you find them” k2:191 islamic counterfeit god allah}his delusional belief that somehow God rewards wickedness and evil is typical of the mindset of these lost souls.
God does not reward evil.
God does not spare unrepentant murderous brutes.
This man was a murderer who grievously sinned against God by murdering innocent people.
Perhaps if muslims bothered to OBEY and follow God’s Original Commandments instead of following the appaling Commandment-violating teachings of their warped koran and the truly disgraceful example of their “prophet” muhammed….perhaps they would understand how evil it is to commit murder and then expect God’s mercy.
allah may sanction murder in his koran and encourage his followers to do such things.
But God doesn’t.
That is very clear from His Commandments..but which the writer of the koran chose to twist in such a way as to make it acceptable for muslims to break them.
{God’s Original Commandments} versus {allah’s warped violations of them}
That’s the root of the problem with islam.
The koran completely distorts the Truth and misrepresents God.
Do you follow and obey The Judeo-Christian God’s Commandments(in which case deliberate murder is always condemned)?
OR
Do you follow and obey the islamic shadow god allah’s commandment-violating koranic teachings(which permits mass murdering infidels and sanctions the violation of God’s Commandments)?
I say this to muslims…
1.Look at God’s Original Commandments.
2.Note that God clearly condemns murder,lying,stealing,adultery etc:there are no equivocations.
murder is forbidden. Period.It is a sin against God.
3.Now what does allah in his koran teach?Violations of God’s Commandments:there ae endless equivocations.It’s OK to slay the unbelievers wherever you find them k2:191.
So how come allah doesn’t know about the Sixth Commandment or how wrong it is for allah to encourage people to break this law of God?
4.who do you choose to follow?
GOD or allah{the god pretending to be God}?
Because it is quite clear that GOD is not the same as allah.
allah’s koranic teachings are 100% at odds with God’s Original Commandments.
How amazing that muslims cannot see the difference.
There is an enormous herd of elephants in the room of islam….

Of course, Muslims believe that moral laws like the Ten Commandments are a “corruption” of the Bible by Jews and Christians, and that the Bible was ‘originally’ as savage as the Qur’an.
Louis Schwartz says
FYI: They don’t know the Lord and they never will. They have been “brain-washed” from birth and as such, They do not even understand the concept of a Loving God. Question: How many times is the word love mentioned in the Koran as opposed to the Bible? As you stated, they believe the Torah and the Bible are corrupted as well as abrogated by the Koran. They would not even touch a Bible, under threat of pain or death, let alone read it. Your intentions are, obviously, good and you are trying to do what is right, but I think your instincts are misleading you. You cannot reason with them. Savages they are.I wish you success in doing God’s Work.

“Palestinian” Muslim murderer’s Facebook last words: “Allah will take revenge on you and will make it count”
……………….
Apparently as Facebook sees it this is not hate–just pointing out that Islam condones this is.
