(Ynet News) Elisha Ben Kimon - The European Parliament in Brussels held a special session on Wednesday to discuss the funding it provided to the Palestinian Authority, much of which, Israel said, was used to finance monthly stipends to convicted terrorists or their families. The session began with a memorial service to honor Esther Horgen, a French-Israeli woman who was brutally murdered two years ago while jogging near her home in the West Bank. Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan said: "The despicable terrorist Muhammad Mruh Kabha, who murdered Esther Horgan, receives from you, the European taxpayer, NIS 12,000 ($3,490) per month, six times the average salary in the PA. So I ask you. Does it not pay to kill Jews?" Binyamin Horgen, Esther's husband, said: "There are Israelis and Palestinians who work and live together, peacefully. However, some of the Palestinians do not. They are guided and supported by their leaders in the PA."
