[Palestinian Authority] PA Prisoner Salaries: Kill More Israelis, Get More Cash
INN ^ | 2/8/2015, 10:53 AM | Edwin Black

Congressional legislators were astonished last year to learn that the Palestinian Authority was issuing monthly payouts totaling $3-7 million as salaries and other financial rewards to specific terrorists and their families. The money was channeled, in part, through the Ministry of Prisoners pursuant to the Law of the Prisoner. The law set forth a graduated scale, pegging monthly salaries to the length of Israeli jail sentences, which generally reflects the severity of the crime and the number of people killed and/or injured.

Thousands of documents, newly obtained by this reporter through a lawsuit to unseal court-protected files, demonstrate that these payouts are not blind automated payments. Rather, senior Palestinian Authority officials as high as President Mahmoud Abbas scrutinize the details of each case, the specific carnage caused, and the personal details of each terrorist act before approving salaries and awarding honorary ranks in either the PA government or the military.

Ministry of Prisoners spokesman Amr Nasser has explained, “We are very proud of this program and we have nothing to hide.” Nonetheless, in response to the international furor, the Palestinian Authority announced it would replace the Ministry of Prisoners with an outside PLO commission known as the Higher National Commission for Prisoners and Detainees Affairs. …

Follow the money. The various Arab states that funnel “aid” to the PLO and Hamas, what do they expect for their money? Would funding continue if there was actual peace?

And a certain Persian state too.

But of course, they can’t be broaching “true” Islam in this manner. Can they?

Nothing new here folks, this is the PLO/HAMAS/HIZBOLLAH/30 other Paleostinian murderers going strong since 1917.

Why do we still cling to the term “MODERATE” for PLO but “EXTREMIST” for ISIS or HAMAS? There all the same feces in extreme.

The late Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir once said that there will be peace when the Paleostinians want peace more than killing Jews.

Similar payoffs for Guantanamo ...
"Aamer, a Saudi Arabian citizen, had been living in London prior to travelling to Afghanistan with his family in 2001. He insists he went there to open a school and run a charity while the US authorities have accused him of being a senior al-Qaeda figure, who acted as a ‘special interpreter’ for Osama bin Laden, was trained in the handling of explosives, and with had alleged links to terror networks both in the UK and US.

When he is finally freed, Aamer will be entitled to a compensation payment of about £1 million. Similar sums were given to other British detainees of Guantanamo in a scheme agreed by the Government to head off what it believed would be costly and embarrassing court cases that would drag UK intelligence services into the dock.

“We”? That implies that Hillary Clinton is a Freeper.

Many here are dedicated to exposing the PA/PLO for what they are. They do need to be liberated from their false identity of “Palestinian” to be sure.

There can never be real peace between Islam and Israel. Islam has the idea that Islam will eventually dominate the world. Any rollback, where Muslim lands get taken over by another religion, is intolerable.
