The price of terror: New data shows scope of PA’s funding of terrorists

The Palestinian Authority paid over $137 million to living terrorists – either in Israeli prison or released – over the course of 2018 • The longer the prison sentence, the higher the salary; in other words, the worse the crime, the better it pays.

For the Palestinians, terrorism is one sure way to make a living – and it seems that the worse the crime, the better the pay.

According to a report released by the Palestinian Authority Treasury on Wednesday, the PA paid upwards of NIS 502 million ($137 million) to living terrorists – either in Israeli prison or released – in 2018.

  1. Truly outrageous that Israelis continuesto subsidize and even provides military support for this imfamous regime. Now they are even subsidizing Hamas! Israeli officials must be either a)traitors, b) cretins, or c) insane. I am baffled as to which. Certainly, if these officials are not simply fifth columnists, they have a “Political IQ” approaching zero.Even a cat or a dog would behave more sensibly.

  2. What’s the point of this partial report, which is known to every Israeli, and to many abroad… The writer could have at least included the “pensions” pad to the families of deceased terrorists as well. It comes to “a tidy sum”… ail paid for. by the EU taxpayers and other foolish Anti-Semites.

    I’k like to see published the REAL cost to Israel of policing,, containing, and hunting these monsters, as well as the cost of trials, police work, lawyers, health care, food, keeping them safely,in prison for so many years, including the cost of the prison construction etc…Everything involving the terrorists that would not have been necessary if they had not existed ……It will have amounted to many hundreds of billions over the past 70 years.
