Abbas to Pay Released Murderers' Pensions with U.S. Aid Money
(Commentary) Jonathan S. Tobin - In the wake of the announcement that Hamas will be paying each of the released Palestinian killers, almost all of whom are either directly or indirectly responsible for the murders of Jews, a bonus of $2,000, the Palestinian Authority has also decreed that it will be paying every one of the murderers a separate honorarium. Hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. taxpayer funds are transferred to the Palestinian Authority every year. That means Uncle Sam is paying a subsidy to mass murderers. Indeed, the PA has been paying pensions to every Palestinian serving time for terrorism in Israeli jails for years. And its official media and other government organs continue to lionize these killers.
