No nation should give the PA a penny until this stops. But no one (except President Trump) will care.
“Defense Ministry: Terrorists will get NIS 10 million each from PA,” Times of Israel, May 6, 2018:
The Defense Ministry released figures Sunday alleging that some terrorists who killed Israelis will be paid more than NIS 10 million ($2.78 million) each throughout their lifetimes by the Palestinian Authority.
Ahead of a Knesset vote on a measure to cut some payments to the PA until it stops paying stipends to terrorists and their families, the ministry gave estimates of the total payments made to several jailed murderers.
In each case the ministry said the terrorist would receive NIS 1,400 ($390) per month for their first three years in prison. But the ministry did not say how much it estimated each terrorist would be paid after the first three years, or how it arrived at its estimates of what each terrorist or his family would receive by the age of 80.
The PA provides the monthly payments, usually via an intermediary organization, to the families of those convicted of carrying out terror attacks on Israelis or those killed perpetrating such attacks. Israeli officials have repeatedly demanded that the payments be stopped, saying they incentivize terror.
“I call on all Knesset members to join us, vote for the law and put an end to this theater of the absurd,” Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman said in a statement ahead of Monday’s vote on the measure. “Every shekel that would have been transferred to the murderers will be deducted from the PA’s tax revenues. We will stop financing terrorism.”
Among the terrorists cited in the Defense Ministry report were the killers of Eitam and Naama Henkin in October 2015.
The Henkins were murdered in a drive-by shooting, and the four killers were each sentenced to two life sentences and an additional 30 years in jail.
The four, all Hamas members, were named as Yahia Muhammad Naif Abdullah Hajj Hamad, who carried out the shooting itself; Samir Zahir Ibrahim Kusah, the driver of the car, who was also linked to previous terror attacks; gunman Karem Lufti Fatahi Razek, who was wounded by gunfire from one of his fellow cell members during the attack; and Zir Ziad Jamal Amar.
By the time they turn 80, Razek will have been paid NIS 11,232,000 ($3.1 million); Amar NIS 10,056,000 ($2.8 million) and Hamad NIS 10,080,080 ($2.77 million), the ministry claimed. No numbers were given for Kusah.
Another terrorist cited in the report was Omar al-Abed, who stabbed to death three members of an Israeli family in their home.
Al-Abed knocked on the door of the Salomons family in the West Bank settlement of Halamish in July 2017, just minutes before festivities to celebrate the birth of a new grandson in the family. He murdered Elad, Yosef, and Chaya Salomon. He has already been paid NIS 12,200 ($3,370), the Defense Ministry said, and is expected to receive at least NIS 12,604,000 ($3.5 million) by the time he turns 80.
The ministry also estimated the payments to an alleged terrorist who was not yet convicted, and the payments to the family of another suspect killed in a shootout with the IDF.
Abed al-Karim Assi has been charged with stabbing to death Rabbi Itamar Ben-Gal, 29, at a bus stop outside the West Bank settlement of Ariel February 5, 2018. So far he has been paid NIS 1,400. However, if, as expected, he is sentenced to life imprisonment, he will receive a total of NIS 12,604,800 ($3.5 million) by the time he reaches the age of 80, the Defense Ministry said.
Similar payments are made to the families of Palestinians who allegedly attacked Israelis and were subsequently killed by Israeli security forces.
Ahmad Nassar Jarrar, believed to have been behind the January terror attack that killed Rabbi Raziel Shevach, was killed in a shootout with the IDF. Because he would have received a lengthy sentence, his family are receiving a monthly payment of NIS 1,400, and so far have received NIS 5,600 ($1,500), according to the ministry.
Due to their lengthy imprisonment, if any of the terrorists are released from prison they are automatically entitled to a job with the PA equivalent to a minister or a general, the Defense Ministry said. If they die their family will be entitled to continue receiving the payments.
Under an economic agreement signed in 1994, Israel transfers to the PA tens of millions of dollars each year in customs duties levied on goods destined for Palestinian markets that transit through Israeli ports.
The bill to be voted on Monday would allow the government to either permanently deduct the funds paid out to terrorists, or “freeze” the payments, leaving the security cabinet with the final say….

HERE IS AN ITEM ON PAM’S BLOG — VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS ALLYING THEMSELVES WITH AN ANTI-SEMITE CANDIDATE: https://gellerreport.com/2018/05/virginia-hater-congress.html/
The red hotlink leading the that web news resource has a comment feature at the end of the reportage.
Please carve 5 minutes out of your busy schedules to inject some unpleasant reality about Islam’s long history of Jew hatred.
You could also ask if that candidate is planning to tell hard truths regarding Muhammad’s violent life and how Europe is sinking with non-assimilable “migrant” crime.
Plus any other timely topics which DEMOCRATS COMPLETELY AVOID IN THEIR APPEASEMENT OF VOTING MUSLIMS.

Everybody should read abreviated and organized Koran, Hadith and Sira-life of Mohamed (www.cspipublishing.com/pdfs/ATwoHourKoran.pdf) and history of bloody Islamisc conqwuert to understand that islam ITSELF is teh ROOT cause of terrorism and violence nowadays.
Shimon Perze made a horrendous blunder when seeking peace with the Egyptian terrorist Yassire Arafat in 1994 and allowing him to come to Gaza an West bank…HOW can Jews be so stupid and not learna bout Islam?!
WPM says
“Palestinian lotto” kill a Jew get shot by Israel army defending citizens of Israel , family of murdering Jihad set for life paid by Western citizens glad President trump is ending this madness.
MTMLA says
And Israel gives the PA millions, so they can turn around and pay the israeli’s murderers????The whole thing is total madness.
Brazilian government under Corrupt communist PA lover Lula also pays the family of criminals in jail more than what a person would earn working all month. I wonder who influenced whom to do that.
J D S says
Just wondering how many U.S. dollars go to pay these terrorist and murderers?
milad says
Palestinians are not producing anything – where do they get this money from
Indiana Tom says
The Umma of which some have oil and the UN.
MTMLA says
The US and Israel are among the $$$$ donors according to this article. Isnt that insane? Why keep a murderer terrorist alive for 80 years??? Other insanity.
gp says
The tax collectors of Israel and the United States turn money over to Palestinians for the Palestinians to then kill Israelites and Americans. BEYOND INSANE ! ! !
gravenimage says
Yes, Jay Boo.
And the PA gets a lot of money from the EU, as well.
Garfield says
Well Iran funds Hezbollah and Hezbollah traffics drugs in central america. I’m guessing it’s drug money and payments from us and other “humanitarian aid” funds?

Think of all those starving Palephillistine children who are victims of U.S. Imperialism…..

When will the idiots learn that trying to pacify those that want to harm them is the reason why Hitler managed to invade so many countries before the world reacted?
In about a decade from now, Iran, with their rogues in Lebanon (Hezbollah) and Gaza (Hamas) will attack Israel with nuclear bombs and only then will those that looooove appeasement will get a rude wake-up

Sickness on display again. The etiology of this sickness goes by the name of “Islam.”

Palestinian Authority pays $2.78 million each to jihadis who murder Israelis
……………………
I’m glad that Trump is finally working to cut these thugs off.
Garfield says
Me too and he needs to do much more.
UNCLE VLADDI says
The Israelis should stage fake murders and fake terrorist’s bank accounts to claim the funds and drain their coffers! I could personally use a few extra $ million, myself!
Granddaddy says
I find this hard to believe. $2.78M? Sounds awfully steep. Sounds like taqiyya to me.
