Israel (like the rest of the West) must Clean up it's Act!
This just goes to show how stupid we can be. Israel, which has been fighting a war for years aginst terror does not understand how to defend itself.
BTW - This is not the first outrage of the Israeli social security (which, btw, takes 15% of Israeli paychecks - which is BEFORE income tax). get this:
Terorists like PA "security" cheif, Jabril Rajoub, who are married to Israeli (Arab) wives - get social security payed for by Israeli taxpayers!!!
Things have to be drastically changed! Now, read this and weep...
Israeli Social Security must support Nahariya suicide bomber's 2 widows, 10 orphans
By Nina Gilbert
JERUSALEM POST (September 11) - The widows and children of Muhammad Shaker Habeishi, the Israeli Arab suicide bomber who killed three people in Nahariya on Sunday, are now entitled to as much as NIS 10,000 a month in state support, National Insurance Institute Deputy Director-General for Benefits Yehezkel Bakal confirmed yesterday.
Bakal said the law is "liberal and ensures equality among widows and children" and does not discriminate against relatives of those who have committed crimes against the state.
"The law would have to be changed to prevent terrorists' survivors from receiving state aid," he said.
Bakal said that, according to his information, Habeishi had two wives and 10 children.
Internal Security Minister Uzi Landau said the government intends to take steps to change the law to ensure that families of terrorists, including those in prison, don't get NII support. Landau said child support payments should also be withheld.
Each widow with three children is entitled to NIS 3,800 in monthly support, with an additional NIS 476 for every child, according to Bakal.
This is in addition to the monthly child stipends for children younger than 18. As long as the widow lives here and the husband paid NII insurance, the family is entitled to support, Bakal said.
MK Zvi Hendel (National Union) is drafting legislation that would change the law retroactively to cancel NII support in such cases. He hopes to push it through the legislative pipeline quickly, when the Knesset reconvenes for its winter session in mid-October.
Hendel called the law "distorted" and said it is inconceivable that the state should grant support to Habeishi's family. "Hamas is giving a one-time financial prize to the families of the terrorists, while the State of Israel is supporting families until the end of their lives," he said. He said he is sure he will have an overwhelming majority for the bill.
Bakal noted that the only relevant provision the NII now has to disqualify applicants concerns persons who commit crimes. If they are injured while carrying them out, they are not eligible for NII support, he said.
