Palestinian Authority Keeps On Keeping On with Its
‘Pay For Slay’ Program
The Palestinian Authority’s “Pay-For-Slay” program provides generous monthly subsidies to imprisoned terrorists and to the families of terrorists who died while committing their attacks. In this way, the PA both rewards past terrorism and incentivizes future terrorism. This program has angered the American government, which in 2018 passed the Taylor Force Act— named after Taylor Force, an American serviceman who, while walking in Tel Aviv, was stabbed to death by a Palestinian terrorist. The Act requires that the American government halt payments it provides to the PA as long as it continues with its “Pay-For-Slay” program. Biden, disgracefully, was able to obtain waivers to the Act’s enforcement. And more recently, Mahmoud Abbas has tried to disguise his Pay-For-Slay program by describing the payments as “welfare benefits” for the poor, which fooled no one. And just as it did previously, the Palestinian Authority (PA) announced in early April that it would be paying February’s monthly “allowances” to Palestinian prisoners, terrorists, and their families.

Palestinian Authority continues Pay-for-Slay, notwithstanding Abbas’ proclamation
by Ephraim D. Tepler, Palestinian Media Watch, April 9, 2025:
Just as it did last month, the Palestinian Authority announced yesterday that it is paying February’s monthly “allowances” today. One announcement was made laconically by the Postal Service while the “PA employees’ salaries” Telegram channel mentioned in two separate statements that these payments were particularly for “Martyrs, prisoners, and the wounded,” as can be seen in the chart below: While the Palestine Post announcement again did not specify to whom the payments were going, the employees’ channel said explicitly (twice) that they were meant for terrorists. Palestinian Media Watch has no doubt that these are terror salaries since the PA postal service only began facilitating them after the PA banks closed 35,000 terrorist bank accounts. The reason the bank accounts were closed was because PMW warned the banks that if they would continue facilitating those accounts, they would be violating Israeli law and therefore subject to civil and criminal liability.
It is noteworthy that the payments being made today are for February 2025—a month’s delay. PMW has reported that the PA had skipped the payment of a full month’s salary to its employees in 2023 and has not made it up. This is due to the PA being mired in financial crisis because of its high expenditures on payments to terrorists and the resulting losses in international support….
By sleight-of-word, Abbas had hoped to fool the Americans into believing that the money being given to imprisoned terrorists and the families of dead terrorists were not part of “Pay-For-Slay,” but instead, simply increased payments for the most impoverished. No one in Washington believed it, but under Biden, the American payments to the PA continued despite the Taylor Force Act, for which the administration managed to get a waiver from Congress. Trump is made of sterner stuff. He has already cut hundreds of millions of dollars in direct aid to the PA, as well as payments to UNRWA. Mahmoud Abbas has kept up his defiant tone, the one set in his remark that even if he were “left with one penny, it [the generous monthly stipends] will be paid to the families of the Martyrs and the prisoners.”

Boom! Saudi Arabian Publicly Blasts “Palestinians”
in Scathing Video
The Arabs who live in Israel today are nearly all originally from Egypt, Syria, or other countries in the Middle East. They chose to move to the area under the Ottoman Empire that is near the Mediterranean in order to have a better life. Most of them moved in the late 19th century or early 20th century when the Jewish people began their return. The Jewish pioneers had a few major supporters who helped them finance their efforts to bring the Land back to life. Arabs from neighboring countries took heed and found out that they could live better near the Jewish pioneers than where they were living in other areas under the Ottoman Empire.
The concept of a unique “palestinian people” was usually not used. If it was used, it was generally in order to refer to the Jewish people. The Jerusalem Post was called the Palestine Post before the State of Israel was founded in 1948. The Palestine theatre was a Jewish theatre. Arabs rarely used the term Palestine. Jews did.
But in the early and especially the late 60’s, the Arabs who lived in and around the State of Israel decided that they need to create a new national entity in order to claim national rights to the Land. It has certainly taken root among the younger generation of Arabs in and around Israel. But what drives it is not the nationalism of the 19th century. It is the age-old anti-Jewish hatred that has been alive and well as long as the Jewish people exist.
But even those who have bought into the idea of a legitimate nationalism of a nation of so-called “palestinians” cannot deny today that what truly drives those who yell and scream “from the river to the sea” is the genuine intention to drive the Jewish people out of the Land of Israel and into the sea. Israel has one choice and only one choice. Fight back or be driven into the sea.
