Iran Pledges Cash for Killing Jews
(Commentary) Jonathan S. Tobin - Which sectors will benefit from the cash windfall that will result from the end of international sanctions on Iran? Iran's ambassador to Lebanon has announced that Iran will now offer new cash bonuses to Palestinian terrorists. The Palestinian Authority already pays pensions to the families of Palestinians that have been jailed by Israel for terrorism, treating them as heroes. Of course, Iran is interested in more than just helping Palestinians who kill Jews. They wish to expand their influence among Palestinians as part of their push for regional hegemony. Iran's willingness to inject its financial power into the already toxic Palestinian political culture ought to particularly worry a U.S. administration that has sought to create a new detente with Tehran.
