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

Abbas defiant, won’t stop payments to jihad terrorists

Jul 10, 2018 7:00 am By Robert Spencer

The jihad always comes first, and must not be halted, but the West pays little or no heed to its ideological foundations, and so consistently misunderstands and misdiagnoses the problem.

“Defiant Abbas says he won’t halt stipends to terrorists,” Times of Israel, July 9, 2018:

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said Sunday that he will continue paying stipends to Palestinian attackers and their families despite the Israeli parliament’s decision last week to withhold hundreds of millions in funds from taxes collected on the Palestinian Authority’s behalf.

Abbas defiantly told a meeting of Fatah party leaders that the Palestinian government would pay “our martyrs and prisoners and wounded people” as it had since 1965.

“We will not allow anyone to interfere with the money that Israel is against us paying to the families of martyrs and prisoners,” he said, according to an official transcript released by state-run news agency Wafa.

Israel has called on Palestinians for years to halt the stipends, which benefit roughly 35,000 families of Palestinians killed, wounded or jailed in the conflict with Israel, many of them accused of involvement in terror. Israel says the stipends encourage violence.

Among the beneficiaries are families of suicide bombers and others involved in deadly terrorist attacks on Israelis.

The Palestinians contend the number of stipend recipients involved in deadly attacks is a small fraction of those aided by the fund. They say that the tax revenue collected by Israel for them under past peace agreements is their money and that the Palestinian Authority has a responsibility to all of its citizens like any other government.

The stipends amount to approximately $330 million, or about 7 percent of the Palestinian Authority’s $5 billion budget in 2018….

      Trudeau is likely already writing another cheque to Hamas. Over $50 million so far, but nobody really knows how much this “open and transparent” Liberal Government has really sent to Muslim terrorists.

    And {from the picture}Mr Abbas:that Jedi mind trick won’t work on us because it’s not actually real.

    Like…muhammed being a prophet..or the anti-Semitic allah being God…isn’t real.

    islam:a house of cards built on a foundation of quicksand in an earthquake zone.

    Since most, or even all. of their “funds” some from other parties, if no one gave them any funds, he would have a difficult time keeping his word to fund terror…before and after the fact.

    In the photo, he appears to be putting a hex on someone. Cursing for sure.

    MUST READ… How a Toronto based terrorist Imam lobbied for Pakistan at the UN against India..
    Shows how the UN has indeed become a Dhimmi and how its Muslim Human rights chief is
    MISUSING THE POWERS OF HIS OFFICE like most Muslims do..

    https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/pakistani-islamist-lobbied-with-author-of-un-report-on-kashmir/articleshow/64931294.cms

    Robert, U need to look at this because this has got serious implications for other non-Muslim nations as well. One more point to note is how this mad Islamist Mulla is using Canada as his base..

      Let me also add a note to all Canadians.. Ur Govt is a DISGRACE to host Islamist terrorist Mullas who conspire against a proud democracy like India.. And one day, these worms will conspire against Canada too.. IF NOT ALREADY..

        With all the tar sand oil and gas produced in Canada, I wonder why this is playing out like this. OPEC oil money buys interesting things.

    SOSDD

    The EU, UN, and a host of well funded NGO’s will no doubt step in to keep the jizya flowing. At the same time these same idiots will find a way to attack the Israeli’s for simply trying to protect themselves from being murdered and obliterated.

    May their welfare dry up leading only to a diet of grass and dirt. Only then will they consider the gallows for those like Abbas who have lied to and robbed them.

    Abbas defiant, won’t stop payments to jihad terrorists
    …………………

    No surprise there. Just cut all aid to these Jihadists.

      Abbas is a sponsor of terrorism by paying for terrorism and is therefore a terrorist himself. Like Arafat, he makes certain that peace and a solution cannot be reached. It’s time for a replacement.

      • gravenimage says

        Jul 11, 2018 at 6:33 pm

        Absolutely, Westman.

    it simply defies logic that with a budget of 5 billion, the arabs under the rule of the PA live an existence of abject poverty with zero prospects and absolutely no chance of prosperity. Abbas and his acolytes live like mafia kingfish while their people starve and die for a lost cause, placing all the blame on Israel and the west. instead of paying pensions to terrorists, maybe they should spend the aid they receive as those who provide it expect, on improving the lives and providing opportunities to prosper for their people. until then all aid should be suspended.

    • gravenimage says

      True–there are only about 5 million living in the “Palestinian territories”, including Gaza–and they get huge amounts of aid, including from Israel herself.
