The Palestinian Authority Makes Terrorism a Profitable Profession


(American Spectator) Ziva Dahl - PA President Mahmoud Abbas and his government incite their citizens to hate Israelis and incentivize them to murder civilians using a "pay-to-slay" lethal form of welfare that makes killing and maiming far more profitable than working at a regular job. On June 30, Palestinian Muhammad Taraireh stabbed to death 13-year-old Israeli Hallel Ariel as she slept in her bed. Now, according to PA law, Muhammad's family will receive a one-time payment of $1,560 and a monthly stipend of $364 from the Palestinian government's "martyr fund." For imprisoned terrorists, the more gruesome the attack and the longer the prison sentence, the higher the financial reward. The Palestinian "pay-to-slay" program provides $300 million per year to terrorists and their families for killing Jews - 5-10% of the total PA budget.
