Israel Lawmakers OK Bill to Stop ‘Terror Salaries’ for Palestinian Authority

8

Israel’s lawmakers passed a bill that would punish the Palestinian Authority’s bottom financial line for paying out “terror salaries” to those families who are tied to the murders of Israeli citizens.

The bill, introduced by Ministerial Committee member Elazar Stern, basically deducts money from the stipend the PA receives to the same amount it’s found the organization gives to families of terrorists in Israel’s prisons.

Arutz Sheva has the news:

“The Ministerial Committee for Legislation approved Sunday a bill proposed by MK Elazar Stern (Yesh Atid) to deduct sums equal the stipends the Palestinian Authority pays to terrorists in Israeli prisons and payments made to terrorists’ families, deducting them from the tax funds which Israel transfers to the PA.

“The proposal was approved despite the opposition of the Attorney General and the original intention to postpone the discussion of the proposal by one week.

“The amount of money the terrorists receive is proportional to the length of their prison sentence, resulting in the perpetrators of the deadliest terrorist attacks receiving the highest “salaries” from the PA.”

Lawmakers say the bill is crucial to ending the practice of basically giving money to terrorists.

Again, from Arutz Sheva:

“Israel will deduct the terrorists’ salaries from taxes transferred each year to the PA, since paying terrorists is a violation of the Oslo Accords.

“The proposal was initiated by Yesh Atid members Elazar Stern, Yaakov Perry, and Mickey Levy. …

“‘We have to put an end to the fact that terrorists and their families recive payment for murdering Israelis,’ Stern said. ‘It cannot be that terrorists receive salaries for murdering Jews. THe State must do everything it can to fight terror.’

“‘This law is critical to Israel’s national security.

“‘The payments which the PA transfers to the terrorists are not just incitement — they are an incentive to commit terror attacks. The PA is encouraging Arabs to murder Jews.'”

Ridiculous ! Why is Israel even paying one red cent to PA in the first Place ?

Trump was correct in calling out PA President Abbas a Liar http://bit.ly/2rOmfyJ

The First American President to do it !

Israel should stop paying these jihadis and use it for their defense against these jihadis.

Easier said then done… like the US, also Israel has a sizable/powerful (MSM, legal system, Academia, deep state bureaucracy, “artists”/”intellectuals”) contingent of “progressives”, that made it their life mission in life to sabotage the national security/interest of Israel in the name of their pro Islamo-fascist agenda (licking “Palestinian”/Arab arse with ecstatic zeal)

Fortunately, the primitive/barbaric/blood thirsty muzlims (and the glaring stupidity/treasonous actions of the left) are helping more and more Israelis to wake up and stand against the self destructive agenda of the deranged left

It is about time nations quit playing terrorists to destroy civilization. Now, every where else, eliminate welfare payments to muslims who refuse to assimilate and find useful employment.

The Muhammad-cult in Gaza or anywhere should not receive any money from Israel, nor anyone & their Jihad-inciting PA-TV channel must be banned.

Too bad we don’t have honest politicians like that anywhere in the federal US government. Instead my federal government extorts money from me to line the pockets of muslum totalitarian, religious apartheid states that would kill me for my criticism of their prophet 4 profit.

Money is fungible. Even food aid is fungible, since it frees up money for other purposes.

I don’t want a single dime of US taxpayers’ money used to help fund Palestinians’ terror-centric society. If Israel keeps funding it — and this bill doesn’t cut off all Israeli aid to Palestine– cutting off all American aid is a tougher sell.
