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

Israel will deduct amount that “Palestinians” pay to jihadis from funds it gives to Palestinian Authority

Feb 12, 2019 2:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

The Palestinian Authority has acknowledged its “NIS 1.2 billion annual budget” for its “Pay for Slay” payments “in 2017 and 2018.”

Now Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has had enough, as he should have long ago. He stated with reference to Pay for Slay: “Let there be no doubt that Israel will deduct money that the Palestinian Authority pays terrorists and their families from the tariffs and duties it collects monthly on behalf of the PA and transfers to Ramallah.”

The PA minister for civilian affairs, Hussein al-Sheikh, has stated: “we affirm that if we have one dollar, we will spend it on the families of our martyrs and prisoners.” And Palestinian President Rami Hamdallah “and several senior Palestinian officials” have declared that any Israeli move to impact PA funding “will not deter the PA from continuing its financial aid to security prisoners and families of ‘martyrs.’” Western taxpayers have been unwittingly paying into “Pay for Slay.”

The Palestinian leadership has presented the murder of Israelis as a struggle against oppression, while Israel is fighting for its survival. Fooling naive Westerners with propagandist victimhood claims is part of the jihad campaign.

“Netanyahu: ‘Pay-for-slay’ law will be implemented next week,” by Herb Keinon, Jerusalem Post, February 10, 2019:

Let there be no doubt that Israel will deduct money that the Palestinian Authority pays terrorists and their families from the tariffs and duties it collects monthly on behalf of the PA and transfers to Ramallah, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday.

Speaking at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting, Netanyahu said that by the end of the week, the “necessary staff work will be completed to implement the law” to deduct the money from the amount transferred to the PA.

“Next Sunday, I will convene the security cabinet and we will make the necessary decision to offset the funds. The money will be deducted – no one should have any doubt about it,” he said.

The PA has acknowledged that its annual budget for these payments in both 2017 and 2018 was NIS 1.2 billion.

It said last week that if Israel deducts the funds, the PA will not accept any of the money Israel transfers to it under the terms of the Oslo Accords – more than $100 million a month.

On July 7, the Knesset passed legislation introduced by Avi Dichter (Likud) and Elazar Stern (Yesh Atid) requiring the Defense Ministry to inform the security cabinet of how much the PA pays in “welfare payments to terrorists and their families,” which will then be deducted from the amount Israel transfers to the PA each month.

This legislation followed passage of the Taylor Force Act in the US, which ended most US assistance to the Palestinians unless the PA stops payments to terrorist and their families, so called “pay-to-slay.”…

    Only Jews get asked to subsidize their own extermination. Somebody remind me, did the Nazis learn this from the Muslims or was it the other way around?

      Every ethnic European in the world is being asked to subsidize their own extermination. Those who are not on this political bandwagon are called all sorts of awful things.

      Definitely the other way around elee, muslims had a 1250 year head start on old Hitler. Great post btw, it is nauseating to even think about Israel giving the “PA” a single dollar that then went to terrorists. Although, if you think about it, any money given to the “PA” will inevitably be used for terrorism. That is the only reason for the “PA’s” existence, and they sure as hell don’t spend it on infrastructure or anything else that could put an end to this wannabe welfare state.

    Good for Israel they should do a two to one, every dollar used by the Palestine government to pay to terrorist families the Israelis should deduct two dollars from their yearly budge of monies they sent

  3. mortimer says

    All countries that send financial support to the PA should immediately concur with Israel’s decision to react financially to PAY-FOR-SLAY by doing likewise.

    As long as PA teaches, practices and rewards jihad, its financial support should be reduced proportionally.

      Mortimer, I believe that the US has also cut aid to the “Palestinians”, and for that same reason.

        Why is the US giving any aid to the Palestinians, or any other bation, for that matter? This insane subsidizing foreign nations began after the end of WW2 and since then, we have added more and more nations to our US welfare list. Today, I am unsure if there is any nation not receiving annual monetary subsidies from the USA. Meanwhile, we are spending our own nation into oblivion and collapse.

          Once upon a time and far away, in another galaxy, there was the fond hope that even-handedness by the USA might midwife a genuine peace process. Trump just acted on what other Americans have been privately noting for years.

          I guess I could do some research and find out how many U.S. dollars are going to Muslim countries that hate us (probably all of them ) but maybe someone out there has already done the search and has the figure…if so please post it.

    At the end of the article it states the America passed the Taylor act that stops most of America payments for the PA pay- to- slay ,payments to terrorist and terrorist families..

      I am so very proud to have emailed my delegates to Congress and let them know I watched their votes on this Act. I like WPM’s two-for-one idea, above. Maybe next session of Congress? Oh and if you’re tired of subsidizing the teaching of Islamic supremacy ethnic cleansing and anti-Semitism in Muslim government schools (via UNRWA or otherwise), heat up those email lines.

      A phone call is probably about a hundred times more effective than an email.

        I have heard that old-fashioned paper letters mailed via “snail mail” are considered most effective of all, since they require more work. But any kind of contact is a good thing.

    “he PA will not accept any of the money ”
    ********************

    A cutting…which moslims know a lot about…off of the nose to spite the face.

    One can see the moslims in the pa pushing out of their pouty lips, hoping Israel will feel guilt and give them all of the money so they can continue to pay those who slaughter Jews.

    Here’s a beautiful sentiment—no funds to the Palestinian Authority from Israel; no funds at all. Not one damn dollar or shekel.

    The Islamic world is such a leech. Has been from the seventh century onward. And its being a leech, a parasite all around, quite tellingly functions as one of the LEAST of its sins.

    Death for apostasy, declaring eternal war on mankind “until all religion is with Allah” {Sura 8:39), a Golden Rule for only fellow Muslims and not for all of the human race, and Islam being a mortal enemy of liberty, function as just a sampling of Mo’s creed’s MAJOR sins.

    Oh yeah, when being a leech, as the Islamic world surely has been over the centuries, never more than now, is the least of one’s faults, you know or should know that you’re dealing with a belief system that is totally effed up. No doubt.

    Every Muslim, more or less, sometimes more, sometimes less, is a burden to mankind. Yes, Islam is this awful.

    Ah, if only Islam’s greatest sin was being a leech, a parasite. But it is not. Not by a long shot. But I digress.

    ………………

    Certainly, a step in the right direction.

    But Israel should not feel they have to give any money to a polity whose very charter has as its main aim the destruction of their benefactors.

      Well said, GI. But nonIsraeli govt’s fall over themselves to give Palis more and more money. Australia’s new Labor govt will add $20 million to the existing amount oz gives the Palis.
      Israel should not give them a penny.

        Grimly true. Too many foolishly think of the “Palestinians” as needy.

    Toleration of liars is not smart. Those who plan your death are your enemies and those who seek peace and pursue it should NOT allow others to harm them.

    Out here in normal land, one may ask why didn’t Israel do that years ago? Or the USA? Better yet, why would either give a damn dime to an entity (the “PA” jihadists) bent on murdering us? It’s like sending tanks and guns to the nazis in WWII while we fought them at the same time.

    Feb 13, 2019 at 12:19 pm

    “if Israel deducts the funds, the PA will not accept any of the money Israel transfers to it under the terms of the Oslo Accords”

    That works for me. Even better than Netanyahu’s plan. A win win. Now, if we can just figure out what we need to do to get them to take their ball and leave for good.

    PLUS

    Damages, and legal and administrative fess.

    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: Sir, be advised J. Trudeau, the current PM of Canada, has given almost $100 million to Hamas since he was elected, laundered through the UNRWA, pretending it is for aid. That money is used for rewarding Muslim terrorists just like he rewarded Omar Khadr with $10,5 million after he killed an American soldier and blinded another. Trudeau also donates to Islamic relief and volunteers his personal time. Trudeau lies. He claims to be a Christian but preaches and prays at Mosques. Trudeau supports Islamic terrorism.
