How many of the increasingly violent anti-Israel Leftists in the U.S. even know that Israel sends any money to the “Palestinians” at all? In any case, the “Palestinians” needn’t worry: Biden’s handlers are ignoring the prohibition on sending money to a terror-funding entity, and will make up the shortfall with American taxpayer dollars.
“Gov’t to deduct NIS 597m. from Palestinian Authority over ‘pay for slay,’” by Lahav Harkov, Jerusalem Post, July 11, 2021:
The security cabinet on Sunday authorized the deduction of the amount the Palestinian Authority pays terrorists and their families from the taxes and tariffs Israel collects for the Ramallah-based government.
The deduction came to NIS 597 million, which the National Bureau for Counter-Terror Financing in the Defense Ministry reported was the sum of PA funds that went to indirect support for terrorism in 2020.
PA funding for terrorists has increased since 2019, when it totaled NIS 517.4m.
The cabinet authorized that it had read the report, and the Finance Ministry may begin deducting one-12th of the sum each month, according to law.
The PA pays convicted terrorists and the families of those killed while committing acts of terrorism a monthly sum. The living terrorists receive more, depending on their prison sentence. That means the greater the severity of the crime, i.e., the more Israelis killed and wounded, the more they receive each month.
PA President Mahmoud Abbas has maintained the policy despite Israel’s deductions, as well as the US banning aid to the PA as long as it continues….

Given that most if not all of that aid money had been going to Hamas bigwig’s pockets, regular “Palestinians” won’t notice the loss.

This is worse than folly, , its madness.

It’s even better to describe is as Evil and madness.

It’s a start, but seriously, they should end the practice of paying them anything! Israel can surely use that cash on their own country’s needs, economy and infrastructure

Personally, I think that the entire Gaza area should be blockaded, nothing gets in or out.
Then the Israelis start leaflet drops, TV & radio broadcast’s etc telling the inhabitants that the blockade is because of what the PA and Hamas are doing and that the situation will continue whilst they are running the place.
I reckon, a couple of weeks of that and nature will take it’s course.
Then the civilised world can help them get back on their feet, with the proviso that the situation doesn’t happen again.
1 missile, 1knife attack, 1 dead or injured Jew and the blockade goes back up.
Watch how fast the situation will turn around if this is done.

You are assuming that Muslims are rational. I wouldn’t count on that.

Israel to deduct $181,000,000 from money it gives to Palestinian Authority because PA pays jihad terrorists
…………..
*Good*. But Israel should cut off the vicious “Palestinians” completely.
Giacomo Latta says
If Israel thinks it is a good idea to remit any amount of money to Palestine it would be a brilliant idea (if I do say so myself) to hand it out to individuals not PA leaders. Then let the paranoia and bloodletting begin.
