Abbas, the PLO and the PA Actively Promote the Destruction of Israel
(Jerusalem Post) Lt.-Col. (res.) Maurice Hirsch - Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas promoted the legislation that entrenched the PA's "Pay for Slay" policy which guarantees substantial monthly salaries to terrorist prisoners. He has twice authorized pay raises for the imprisoned terrorists. In parallel, Abbas has funneled billions of shekels to the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) to pay monthly allowances to injured terrorists and the families of dead terrorists, and fund PLO member organizations including internationally designated terror organizations such as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Under Abbas, the PA school curriculum has become more radicalized and fanatical, teaching an ever-growing number of Palestinians to hate Israelis, hate Israel, and actively seek its demise. In the PA media, PA leaders openly invoke blood libels and call for the murder of Jews. Breaching the Oslo Accords, Abbas's PA has pushed the UN and other international organizations to recognize the nonexistent "State of Palestine." Realizing that goal is just another step in the PLO's 1974 "Plan of Stages" to destroy Israel. Abbas has never condemned the Oct. 7 massacre and sees the event as an opportunity to attack Israel for having the audacity to defend itself.
