Palestinian Authority Admits to ‘Pay for Slay’


As is well known, the Palestinian Authority provides generous monthly stipends to imprisoned terrorists and to the families of terrorists who died during their attacks. This is known as the PA’s “Pay For Slay” program. The PA has tried to hide it, by providing the payments under other names and for other, fabricated reasons (such as describing them as payments to the poor) and by urging members not to discuss it lest the cursed Israelis eavesdrop and record the remarks. The PA fears that evidence of the Pay-For-Slay program’s continuance could convince Western donors to cease their support. More on how one Palestinian commentator, while warning his audience not to discuss the program by name, nonetheless did exactly what he warned against. More on his comical slip-up is here: 


Palestinian radio: Shh… Don’t admit Pay-for-Slay continues because PMW is listening

by Ephraim D. Tepler and Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch, June 14, 2026:

Since 2011, when Palestinian Media Watch exposed Pay-for-Slay—the PA policy of paying salaries to imprisoned terrorists and families of dead terrorists, PMW has been the world’s source for “gathering all the information” about the PA’s terror-reward program.

In other words, the PA is very concerned that PMW is watching, recording, and exposing it, as PA TV’s Israel Affairs expert Fayed Abbas said: “An extremist right-wing organization Palestinian Media Watch… is watching me now, recording me, and preparing reports.”

And yet, having just warned that it would be better not to say too much live on air, the radio host went ahead and said it anyway: A large part of the terrorists’ salaries has already been paid.

So much for the PA’s claims to donor countries that it has canceled or reformed Pay-for-Slay.

Al-Hurriyah Radio host: “Suhaila Al-Najjar asks: Is there no news about the prisoners’ (i.e., terrorists’) salaries?

Actually, there is. A large part [of the prisoners’ salaries] was paid through the banks. You can contact the relevant and responsible bodies. We don’t want to talk much about the subject live, because you know the Israelis (i.e., PMW) are trying to gather all the information. But I think that – it has already been published. There are reports that have reported on the prisoners’ salaries, and the relatives of the Martyrs and the families of the wounded – and I believe that a large part of it has already been paid.”

[Al-Hurriyah Radio, Facebook page, June 3, 2026]

This short exchange tells the whole story.

The PA has not stopped its terror salary program. It has simply become more careful, coded, and nervous about being exposed….

The same radio host on Al-Hurriyah who warned his audience not to talk about you-know-what because those damned Israelis are listening in, trying to get the goods on us about it, nonetheless spilled the beans himself just before he gave that warning.

Oopsy-daisy. The radio host made a frank admission that Pay-For-Slay is still going on, that much of what is due — those “salaries” — has now been paid, and you need only go to the relevant bank to collect. What was it those Palestinians keep forgetting? Loose lips sink ships. Or in their case, battleships.

No matter, Canada and other Western countries will continue to send millions of dollars to the PA to help raise the standard of living of the terrorists, murderers, and their families.

Politics Downunder > Is Pauline Hanson Australia's smartest politician?

 

‘We must be monocultural’: Hanson demands end to multiculturalism, calls climate change a hoax

Updated ,first published




Pauline Hanson’s first speech at the National Press Club has outlined her plans to clamp down on Muslim migration, end multiculturalism and axe the government’s climate change department, as the One Nation leader claimed four of Australia’s closest allies were “absolute s-holes”.

Hanson began her no-apologies speech on Wednesday by identifying immigration and housing affordability as two of the most pressing issues facing the country, insisting Australia “cannot be a multicultural society”.


“We are a multiracial society, but we must be monocultural,” she said while attacking the assembled media for continuing to “repeat the lie that we are a racist party”.

Supported by her fellow One Nation senators Malcolm Roberts, Sean Bell and Tyron Whitten and star defector Barnaby Joyce, Hanson approached her question-and-answer session with Canberra press gallery journalists with defiance and sometimes direct hostility, saying they had been part of the problem, along with incompetent government ministers and a lazy and bloated public service.

The speech, Hanson’s first address to the press club in 30 years in politics, came as polling found primary vote support for One Nation has surged past Labor and the Coalition, and after Hanson was named preferred prime minister in the latest Resolve Political Monitor.

The speech was interrupted briefly by a stunt banner unfurled behind the leader as she spoke, planted by activist group GetUp. The press club has referred footage of the incident to the federal police and issued an apology to Hanson, who paused briefly to look at the banner before continuing on with her speech.

Asked if Australia was in danger of being swamped by Muslim migrants – as she had claimed was happening with Asian immigration during the 1990s – Hanson said, “Not if I’ve got any say in it.

“Radical Islam is my grave concern ... I think we’ve got 18,000 people on ASIO watch lists at the moment, and probably 220 very serious [cases], in a country like this? What about … what happened in Bondi, which I have expressed. We can’t keep up with the personnel to keep an eye on these people. I’m not apologising for anything, and I’ve seen too much footage on our TVs from what’s happening in Britain, Canada, France, Germany, they’re all just absolute … s-holes.”


It is not clear what the source is for Hanson’s claim about the watch list. ASIO has previously indicated it does not have a watch-list tally.

Hanson vowed to shut down multicultural broadcaster SBS and make the ABC subscription-only in capital cities. She also promised to shut down government departments including “the climate change department, the Aboriginal department” and parts of the education and health departments.

She told the club that any money saved from scrapping these services would go into consolidated revenue.

“We’re all treated as Australians, equally, on an individual needs basis, not based on race, and with that, yes, that money will go into consolidated revenue, where any Australian can get that help if they need help.”

Hanson also railed against “the hoax of global warming”, which she blamed for rising energy costs, and said she would scrap all subsidies for renewable energy projects.

On nuclear power, she said the Coalition made a mistake committing to seven power plants, and she would build them only as needed. Barnaby Joyce was a big promoter of nuclear power when he was with the Nationals.

“No more wind turbines to be put in; that will be scrapped,” Hanson said. “No more solar panels on agricultural land – gone. Put it up on your roofs. I don’t care. Coal-fired power stations, yes. We need to have that one in South Australia, one in Queensland, to deliver the power that we need. And then from there we move forward and put in a reactor. Start with one. It all comes down to if you can afford it.”

United Nations science body the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has said human-induced greenhouse emissions are the dominant cause of global warming, which is raising the atmospheric temperature and increasing extreme weather. Its findings are subject to more than 2000 independent scientific reviewers.

While the Coalition has scrapped its support for a net zero target, the other major parties still agree that man-made climate change is real.

Hanson said the childcare system and the industrial relations system should be completely overhauled and repeated her opposition to pay rises for workers, arguing that businesses tell her that employees are lazy and too difficult to sack.

“You need to look at the other side of the ledger. Can businesses afford and pay that? I understand there is a struggle that is happening in people being able to afford and pay their bills, but there has to be a balance,” she said.

“Industrial relations, I can assure you, needs a complete overhaul because it’s not working.”

Asked about her stance on abortion, Hanson said, “I’m not against people and circumstances, women that need to have an abortion for medical reasons, for some circumstance. I’d rather educate women to use contraceptives than to go through an abortion; too many abortions in this country, anyway”.

Asked earlier in the day if One Nation was fit to govern, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the party was “opposed to all of the cost-of-living measures that my government has put in place” and noted he had watched an interview “from the One Nation leader where she was talking about making it easier to sack people and concerned about the minimum wage increases”.

Greens leader Larissa Waters described Hanson’s speech as “incoherent hatred”.

“Pauline Hanson’s incoherent hatred today offered nothing more than the same tired Islamophobia, transphobia, racism and protection racket for fossil fuels we’ve heard from her for decades.

“Pauline Hanson wants Australians angry, divided and scared of our neighbours. It’s an ugly and racist distraction from her servitude of the same billionaires and corporate superprofits as the major parties.”

Does she really want the country divided and scared, or does she just want them to wake up to the needless dangers around and among them?

Opposition Leader Angus Taylor also asked if Hanson was fit to govern when interviewed on Darwin radio station Mix 104.

“Are they fit to govern? Have they got a credible plan for the country? And we’ve got a member of One Nation we see today saying that the United States is the ‘worst terrorist organisation in the world’. I mean, seriously?”

Islam in Europe > Italian banner not allowed in school, but Palestinian flags OK; Muslim Police group in the UK; UK: 159 kebab shops get licenses to import workers

 

In an Italian High School, the Flag of ‘Palestine’ Is Allowed, but Not a Banner Proclaiming ‘Italy for the Italians’


In a high school in northern Italy, flags of “Palestine” have been on display in classrooms throughout the year. The school administrators made no objection. But when two students decided to display a banner that read “Italia agli Italiani” — “Italy for the Italians” — the administration was furious. The two students were given “bad conduct” grades and ordered to take an additional class, presumably re-educating them as to the need to be “welcoming” to migrants. More on this scandalous double standard can be found here: 


Italian School Punished Pro-Italy Banner but Allowed Palestine Flags

by Javier Villamor, European Conservative, June 12, 2026:

A high school in the Italian city of Cesena that recently punished two students for displaying a banner reading “Italy for the Italians” is facing fresh scrutiny after Palestinian flags and “Free Palestine” signs were reportedly displayed in classrooms without disciplinary action.

The claims stem from footage published by the Italian newspaper Il Giornale, which reported that Palestinian flags were displayed in several classrooms at Monti High School during lessons. Students interviewed by the newspaper, speaking anonymously, also said that “Free Palestine” signs were visible in the school at various points throughout the academic year.

The reports come weeks after the school drew national attention for sanctioning two students for displaying a banner reading “Italia agli italiani” (“Italy for the Italians”), a decision that triggered a wave of reactions regarding the limits of freedom of expression within educational institutions.

According to Italian media reports, the students received a negative conduct grade and were required to complete an additional educational assignment. Being patriotic was punished with re-education….

Why is the simple statement that “Italy is for the Italians” to be banned? Here’s why: It reflects an impermissible desire for the country not to be overrun with migrants. Only “racists” and “Islamophobes” could possibly think such things. Italy should keep its doors open wide to migrants, especially those from Muslim lands who have made such a notable contribution to the country’s wellbeing. Diversity, please repeat after me, is our strength. As for the flag of “Palestine” being displayed in classrooms throughout the year, that display is an admirable expression of support for the Palestinians, a people whom the world well knows are the most oppressed in the world, as they strive to maintain their dignity, and to keep their hopes for nationhood alive, in the face of the colonial-settler apartheid genocidal Israel, and its jackbooted stormtroopers.

What do you think would happen if students brought in and displayed an Israeli flag at the high school in Cesena? All hell would break loose. The administrators at the Monti high school would at once seize that flag, claiming that it had to be banned as “too controversial” — unlike the flag of “Palestine,” a country that does not exist, and whose supporters hope will come into being as the 23rd Arab state, built on the ruins of the only Jewish state.




UK Jewish groups call Muslim police group a ‘direct challenge to the integrity of policing’

See HERE for the initial story: Muslim police association calls Israel ‘Zionist terrorist group.’

The Jewish population is particularly vulnerable in Britain, given the strength of the Palestinian “resistance” movement and its successes in “globalizing the intifada.” It is a threatening and aggressive jihad movement aimed at obliterating the Jewish state and stirring up anti-Jewish sentiment. The targeting of Zionism by the National Association of Muslim Police is a reflection of the policies that the UK police are following.

The British police have been trained to respond “diversity is our strength,” with little knowledge of the ramifications and cost, even undermining their primary role to protect the British public. Eg. police involvement in the failures to stop the Muslim attacker before his stabbing spree in Southport, where he murdered three little girls; the shocking murder of Henry Nowak, who bled to death as police attended to a Sikh man who said that Henry had called him racist names; the denial that a near-beheading on a Belfast street was a terrorist attack. Hadi Alodid was only charged with possession of a knife in a public place and threats to kill.

There is nothing about UK police collectively that engenders public trust. British police mirrors the harmful leftist political establishment which has propagated an aggressive DEI agenda. This radical Marxist agenda has cultivated chaos, encouraged lawlessness, a deep fracture in UK society, along with a sense of fear over neglect of national security by authorities and a sense of mistrust among citizens.

As British Jews face “two-tier policing,” as the Combat Antisemitism Movement director Steven Silverman stated, the mainstream British population faces the same. It will only get worse without more public outcry.

UK Jews decry policy paper in which Muslim police group calls Zionism form of hatred

by Kelly Hartog, Times of Israel, June 12, 2016:

British Jewish groups say they are alarmed about revelations that a fraternal society for Muslim police officers published a policy paper that described Zionism as a form of anti-Muslim hatred and called the Israeli army a “Zionist terrorist group.”

The Board of Deputies of British Jews called the paper posted by the National Association of Muslim Police “disturbing” in its presentation of Jewish identity, history and the nature of antisemitism.

“If this is being circulated among officers, it poses a direct challenge to the integrity of policing and it should be withdrawn immediately,” the group said.

NAMP has distanced itself from the report and, in a statement, rejected any allegation that the group “supports Hamas.”

The 39-page paper titled “From Past Prejudices to Present Policies: Confronting anti-Muslim hatred and Promoting Human Rights,” was written by NAMP’s then-vice president, Khaldoun Kabbani, and published in July 2025. It says “Zionism represents one of the manifestations of anti-Muslim hatred”; likens the war in Gaza to the Holocaust; and disputes facts about the atrocities committed during the bloody Hamas-led massacres in Israel on October 7, 2023, including that the thousands of invading terrorists slaughtered Israeli children.

The Spectator, a right-wing British newspaper, drew attention to the report in a piece published on Friday that said the report illuminated “the disturbing truth about the National Association of Muslim Police.” The group has a formal affiliation with 16 of 43 police departments in the UK and says it represents more than 20,000 officers…

“British Jews have long suffered two-tier policing that sees antisemitic crime go unpunished,” he said, adding that CAM would press the British government to ensure a clear message is being sent. This cannot pass with the document being quietly deleted.”…

UK: 159 kebab shops get Home Office licenses to bring in workers from other countries

By
5 Comments

Why not? The victory of Islam in Britain is practically assured. It’s just the mopping-up period, and a short period of transition before Britain becomes an Islamic state. So why not bring in a few reinforcements, in case some natives get the crazy idea that they can buck the system and preserve the nation as their homeland?

‘Absurd!’ More than 150 kebab shops given Home Office licenses to hire migrants from overseas

by Dan McDonald, GB News, June 14, 2026:

Kebab shops, vape stores and even car washes are being allowed to sponsor overseas workers under Britain’s visa system.

A total of 159 kebab shops across Britain have been granted Home Office licences allowing them to sponsor overseas workers under the skilled worker visa scheme.

The licences enable businesses to recruit workers from abroad, with sponsored employees often able to bring family members with them to the UK.

The figures have sparked criticism from senior Conservatives and migration campaigners, who argue the system is being stretched far beyond its original purpose.

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp described the arrangements as “a disgrace”.

“Many sponsored workers won’t be highly skilled,” he said.

Conservative MP Neil O’Brien also criticised the scheme, branding it “absurd” and warning that “a lot of ‘work’ is fake-visa milling”.

The Centre for Migration Control said the figures suggested the sponsorship system was “out of control”.

Under current rules, skilled worker visas generally require applicants to earn at least £41,700 a year or meet the occupation’s designated salary threshold.

One business, Baba Kebabish in East Ham, was allocated seven visas during that period for roles classified under accommodation and food service activities.

There is no suggestion the business has committed any wrongdoing or has any connection to visa fraud.

Official records also show that 79 vape shops and 16 car washes also hold licences permitting them to sponsor overseas workers….
