I'm not playing word games. When I said
terrorists, I meant
actual terrorists who stabs random people to death, or setting off car bombs in a big crowd. When we're talking about actual non-violent
political prisoners, then I'd use the term
political prisoners, like we have done in this debate.
I don't have an issue with PA giving foreign aid money to political prisoners, but we're talking about their insistent on bankrolling terrorism with the hundreds of millions donated each year by the international community, particularly the way they're trying to do it under table after the practice was exposed.
The Palestinian Incentive Program for Killing Jews
Mahmoud Abbas may not be able to stop the knife attacks. But he shouldn't pay the killers' families.
Hallel Yaffa Ariel, a 13-year-old Israeli girl, was stabbed in her bed.
In case anyone is wondering,
out of the $693 million in foreign aid that the PA received last year, half of it ($345 million) went to the "Martyrs Fund", and as we already know, the reward that each "martyr" and their family are currently being paid each month for their heroic accomplishments with bloody knives and home-made bombs are more than an average Palestinian's salary.
You're terribly late to the party, and thus have no idea what
my view is on the subject matter. Does any of those points sounds unfair to you?
Yes, we have
extensively covered that. See
page 36 forward for the discussion that you've missed.
I've got a feeling not that many countries who voted for that UN resolution actually want to pony up their tax-payers' money to pay for convicted terrorists, however.
