How Much is a Dead Jew Worth?
Tablet ^ | 4/3/24 | Gadi Taub

Lital Shemesh, a TV news anchor on Israel’s Channel 14, knows terror almost first hand. Last August, her life was suddenly transformed. “I was at home when messages about two murder victims began circulating on the WhatsApp groups of media people,” Shemesh recounts in her new book (in Hebrew). “Shockingly, the Palestinians on the ground snapped photos of the ID cards of the victims, and those pictures were also widely circulated. That is how, on the sofa in my living room, I suddenly saw the beloved faces of my uncle, Silas, and his son Aviad. A terrorist arrived at the workshop where they were having their car repaired, shot them at close range and murdered them.” The next day, Shemesh continues, another terrorist murdered her kindergarten teacher.

The title of the book poses the question: How Much Is a Dead Jew Worth? It is not only a political, but also an accounting question, with an approximate numerical answer: The Palestinian Authority compensates the families of terrorists on a monthly basis, in proportion to the amount of harm they inflict on Jews. As Shemesh explains, the sum is calculated by the intermediary variable—the length of their prison sentence.

The salaries are paid so long as the perpetrator is held in jail, and stop when they’re freed, which is why one terrorist released in last November’s round of hostage exchanges with Hamas asked to remain in jail. (Israel refused.) Those who are killed while committing terror attacks gain "shahid" (martyr) status and their families receive stipends for life.

Jesus: If the people don't praise Me, the rocks themselves will cry out in praise. (Luke 19:40)

Muhammad: Make war with the Jews so much that the rocks themselves will cry out, "Hey, Muslim. There's a Jew hiding behind me. Come kill him." (Al-Bukhari hadith 2926)

Those payments are provided, in part, by the "aid" money sent to Hamas by the United States.

President Trump stopped the payments. President Biden immediately started them again.

Sounds to me like it ought to be worth a couple of JDAMs on PA HQs with a couple of more as needed to finish up after the bomb damage assessment.
