US Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Barbara Leaf on Wednesday confirmed that the Palestinian Authority continues to make so-called ‘pay-to-slay’ stipend payments to terrorists and the families of terrorists who have killed Americans and Israelis...
The Palestinian Authority makes official payments to Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails, the families of ‘martyrs’ killed in attacks on Israelis, and to injured Palestinian militants. The exact size of the program is disputed, but is estimated to be around $300 million annually, or nearly 10% of the entire Palestinian Authority budget, according to the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, an Israeli think-tank.

If my recollection is correct, Palestinian mothers received the equivalent of $50,000 per child they gave up to become a suicide bomber. This was in Arafat days. And there was a good supply of children ready to go. Tell me now what kind of people these Palestinians are????
If we kill enough Palestinians, maybe we can put them in deep debt …
