This is yet another example of the incentives given by the Palestinian leadership for its citizens to murder Israelis. Jihad terrorists “are a fighting sector, and an inseparable part of the Palestinian society.”
“Fighting sector” means the Islamic jihad sector, which is embraced fully as “part of the Palestinian society.” The jihadists are given money and recognition for murdering Israelis. It has been “11 years since the murder of Christian US tourist Kristine Luken. Each of the two terrorists convicted for the murder of Kristine has been paid over $139,000, as a reward for the murder.”
Western taxpayers are helping to pay Palestinian jihad murderers.
The Palestinian leadership routinely extols the glories of martyrdom in the Palestinian media, driving the idea into the minds of Palestinians of all ages, including toddlers, that it is good and right to hate and murder Jews. Hate is also a central part of Palestinian school curricula, but it’s all justified as part of a bogus “resistance.” The world far too often falls for this obvious propaganda.
“The PA’s ‘Equal Opportunities for Terrorist Murderers’ policy,” Palestinian Media Watch, December 19, 2021:
This morning, Israeli security forces arrested the terrorists suspected of murdering 25-year-old Yehuda Dimentman and injuring others in a shooting attack last Thursday.
The arrest of the terrorist murderers automatically invokes the full weight of the Palestinian Authority’s 2004 Law of Prisoners and Released Prisoners and implementing regulations.
According to the law (sec. 2), all terrorists “are a fighting sector, and an inseparable part of the Palestinian society.”
Section 7 of the law, together with sections 7 and 12 of PA Government Decision Number 23 of 2010 Regarding the Regulation of Payment of the Monthly Salary to the Prisoner, guarantees the terrorists a monthly salary from the PA, that begins on the day of their arrest and increases with time spent in prison (see chart below). Section 6 of the law adds that the PA will also provide the terrorists with monthly spending money and a clothing allowance, twice a year.
The terrorists arrested this morning are members of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), an internationally designated terror organization. Irrelevant of their terror affiliation, as part of the PA’s ‘Equal Opportunities for Terrorist Murderers’ policy, the PA pays every terrorist prisoner including those who are members of PIJ, Hamas, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades. The PA similarly does not care if the victims of terror were Israelis, Jews, or simply foreigners. The only relevant factor for entitlement to the huge PA terror reward package is that the recipient was a Palestinian terrorist arrested for his involvement in terror.
Yesterday marked 11 years since the murder of Christian US tourist Kristine Luken. Each of the two terrorists convicted for the murder of Kristine has been paid over $139,000, as a reward for the murder….
