Jihad Watch

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

With the money it pays to jihadis, Palestinian Authority could buy 387,143 coronavirus test kits or 465 ventilators

Apr 5, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The “Palestinian” leadership can afford to have these priorities because it knows that those who continue to shower aid upon the Palestinian Authority will never call them to account for it, and in the unlikely event that they do, they can always blame Israel, and will always be believed when they do so.

“Coronavirus and PA financial priorities,” by Maurice Hirsch, Palestinian Media Watch, March 30, 2020:

For which leaders is the payment of financial rewards to terrorists more important than supporting the needy or paying teachers?

The answer is, of course, the Palestinian Authority leaders– during the Coronavirus crisis!

Anticipating a fall in income, PA Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh announced that the payment of the March salaries will be staggered, and every day a different group of PA employees will be paid. The order of payment is a clear indication of the PA’s priorities.

Preceded only by the medical and supporting personnel, and the PA Security Forces members, third in line to receive their share of the limited PA budget are the terrorist prisoners and the families of the dead terrorists, the so-called “Martyrs.”

“Since the wheels of production, import, and consumption have stopped, there will be a large drop of more than 50% in the PA’s revenues… The international aid will decrease because the entire world is in crisis, and therefore we will work according to an emergency austerity budget by reducing the expenses as much as possible. However, we will pay the salaries for this month [March] in full and over the course of several days in order to prevent gatherings in front of the banks, and this [will be] in the following manner:

  • On the first day, the salaries of the medical and supporting personnel will be paid.
  • On the second day, to the [PA] Security Forces members.
  • On the third day, to the prisoners and [the families of] the Martyrs.
  • On the fourth day, to welfare cases and the poor.
  • On the fifth day, to the teachers.
  • On the sixth day, to the rest of the [PA] public employees.
  • The last payment, on the seventh day, will be to senior officials, to high level state employees, and to the ministers.”

[WAFA, Official PA news agency, March 29, 2020]…

To give the PA decision perspective, one must take into account that in 2019 the average monthly PA expenditure on the payment of the terror incentives and rewards was in excess of 50,000,000 shekels ($13,937,170/ €12,579,425). That means, that based on the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s price for Coronavirus test kits, the PA just positively chose to incentivize and reward terror instead of buying 387,143 Coronavirus test kits or buying 465 of the low-cost MIT ventilators.

    This reflects just how important terrorism is to the existence of the PA. Without the manufactured animosity and routine terrorist attacks against Israel the PA would be revealed to have a fat, repulsive naked body, which is what they just did. But Rachel Maddow will not be releasing the video because it doesn’t make Trump look bad.

      Agree. Terrorism is the main purpose of the PA.

        Why would these people use their resources for life-saving merchandise when they’re only interested in global domination and death?

    Mohammed said that NO disease is ‘transitive’ (contagious). Sahih Muslim 2223c; Book89, Hadith 154

    So Muslims who disagree with Mohammed’s unscientific ERRORS are BLASPHEMERS who should be executed!

    To be Islamicly correct, Muslims must REJECT MODERN VIROLOGY and keep their mindset in the 7th century. Mohammed sez … and his words cannot be contradicted … no matter how ridiculous or dangerous.

    Muslims must also believe that the sun sets in a muddy spring (K.18.86).

    I wonder how many Muslims realize how incompatible Islam is with modernity.

    I love this picture of Abbas, it’s fitting and appropriate. In accordance to the description by William H. Macy to Mel Gibson

    Why would they need test kits or treatment? Islam makes them immune to this Coronavirus.

    “The last payment, on the seventh day, will be to senior officials, to high level state employees, and to the ministers.”

      Or is that subliminal piety sneaked in. And on the Seventh Day shall he eat. or And on the Last Day shall he eat. I wouldn’t put it past them.

    We should destroy these terrorists and save their people.

    ”therefore we will work according to an emergency austerity budget by reducing the expenses as much as possible”
    Therefore we will be showing amazing restraint by restricting ourselves to 72 temporary marriages each.

    The P.A. is not interested in its people, they are only interested in destroying Israel.
