Why Letting The Palestinian Authority Rule Gaza Is A Bad Idea

On Thursday, The Jewish News Syndicate posted an article about the Palestinian Authority’s Martyrs’ Fund. This is the fund that pays terrorists and their families monthly stipends for attacking Jews. The Taylor Force Act, which was signed into law in 2018, is an Act of the U.S. Congress to stop American economic aid to the Palestinian Authority (PA) until the PA ceases paying stipends through the Palestinian Authority Martyr’s Fund to individuals who commit acts of terrorism and to the families of deceased terrorists.

The article reports:

The Palestinian Authority will not deduct a single penny from its “pay-for-slay” fund that rewards terrorists and their families for their attacks, P.A. chief Mahmoud Abbas told members of his ruling Fatah faction last week, according to translated remarks Palestinian Media Watch published on Thursday.

“We again emphasize that we are proud of the sacrifices made by the martyrs, prisoners and wounded [terrorists],” the P.A. leader said at the Feb. 21 gathering of the Revolutionary Council—Fatah’s second-highest body, which is chaired by Abbas—in Ramallah, Samaria.

“I told you once and I stand by my word: Even if we have [only] one penny left, it is for the prisoners and the martyrs,” he continued, echoing previous remarks made during a July 23, 2018, address in the Palestinian city.

It is time to disperse the Palestinians throughout the Arab world in a way that will not allow them to regroup.
