UNRWA's Palestinian Refugee Permanence, 'Pay-for-Slay'
"Once again we have witnessed the nauseating spectacle of western governments -- which sanitize, fund and pump up the genocidal Palestinian Arab cause -- expressing shock and sympathy with Israel over these attacks [while continuing] to fund the Palestinian Authority despite the PA's 'pay-to-slay[' policy of rewarding the families of terrorists for every Israeli Jew they murder, and despite its never ending incitement to murder Jews and steal Israel's land."Melanie Phillips, British journalist"It's time to admit that Palestinian institutions are broken, and that they have developmentally harmed generations of Palestinian men and women, boys and girls, by whipping them into a constant froth with violently antisemitic educational and media content that celebrate 'martyrdom' attacks against Israelis.""The Palestinian Authority provides a financial incentive for terrorism by providing pensions to the families of those who attack Israelis."Palestinian political analyst Bassem Eid
"We will neither reduce nor prevent [payment] of allowances to the families of martyrs, prisoners and released prisoners, as some seek, and if we had only a single penny left, we would pay it to families of the martyrs and prisoners."Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas

This
is the man who presents himself on the world stage as the aggrieved
partner-for-peace while denouncing Israel as a cruel occupier of Arab
land that just happens to be located on ancestral Judean geography. But
then such bothersomely inconsequential details are an irritant that
Mahmoud Abbas is accustomed to dealing with. As he iterates and
reiterates the misconceptions of history, personally giving his
assurance that this land always belonged to Arabs who were, he avers,
the original Palestinians
Even
the Roman Empire got it wrong, and out of the goodness of his heart,
Abbas stands prepared to correct their misimpression and he has already
started, publishing maps identifying no Judean land, only a large swath
labelled 'Palestine" as he lobbies the United Nations member bodies to
proceed with giving its imprimatur to a unilateral announcement of the
State of Palestine becoming an honoured member of the General Assembly.
Or who knows...the permanent Security Council for its expertise in war
and peace.
As
for paying the martyrs and the prisoners and ex-prisoners of
justifiable and honourable 'resistance' to the occupation that
annoyingly keeps resisting the violence streaming at it from the West
Bank and Gaza Strip, nothing, ever, will deter their handsome emoluments
for a job well done. Recently the human rights group Palestinian Media Watch
revealed that recently-released prisoners Karim and Maher Younig each
collected close to $100,000 for their murder of Avraham Bromberg, a
corporal in the Israel Defence Forces.
Where
does an incipient 'nation' given refugee status in perpetuity by the
United Nations' UNRWA get the funding to award such munificent sums to
its terrorists from? An Arab-administered area so penurious that the
international community through the United Nations, United States,
European Union and other Western countries feel obligated to fund its
civil infrastructure to enable the Palestinian Authority (Fatah/PLO) and Hamas in the West Bank and Gaza to operate?
It
has long been documented that the PA schedules rewards for the
terrorists it incites into the martyrdom death cult, from childhood
onward through school curricula to social media programs to identify
Jews as their enemy, to teach the vulnerable young of their duty as
Palestinians to 'resist' the 'occupation' of apartheid Israel -- with
its two million Palestinian citizens, along with Christian, Druze,
Baha'i, Bedouin citizens -- creating in them a passion for martyrdom.
The
PA has a per capita GDP of about $3,500, and an unemployment rate of 25
percent. Many Palestinians find employment and a working wage through
jobs offered them in Israel where they can earn more than working in the
West Bank or Gaza, if they can find jobs there. Without outside
funding for civic services, for hospitals, schools and social programs,
there would never be finances available to pay for the PA's
well-institutionalized 'pay-for-slay'.
That
funding arrives through the generosity of the United States, its
largest funder which provides hundreds of millions to the PA and Hamas
through UNRWA. Canada too is a large contributor to the extended
programs that effectively pay salaries to terrorists or to their
families should they die in the line of duty to kill Israeli Jews. The
countries that gasp in horror at the atrocities committed in Jerusalem
against Jews are those very countries that fund the actions of the
murderers.
In
the very week, scant days afterward, of the slaughter of 7 Jews after
Friday prayer at a synagogue and the wounding of many others, the U.S.
Secretary of State on a Middle East visit to Israel and the West Bank
handed an additional $50 million over to the PA, over and above the $300
million recently given UNRWA. Funding that was revoked by Canada's
former Prime Minister Stephen Harper and by former U.S. President Donald
Trump in acknowledgment of UNRWA's role in transferring funds used to
fund murder.
Funding
that was speedily restored by their successors, U.S. President Joe
Biden, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Both of whom give no
thought whatever to what it is they are actually funding.
