Middle East Madness > Palestinian Terrorists living it up in Cairo


Freed Terrorists Now Living in 5-Star Hotel in Cairo


At least 154 of the murderers freed by Israel in the lopsided hostage-for-prisoners exchange are now living in a luxury hotel in Cairo. That says a great deal about the Egyptian government’s attitude toward those who murdered Jews. More on how these arch-terrorists are faring at their five-star hotel on the banks of the Nile can be found here: 


Palestinian terrorists released to luxury Cairo hotel alongside tourists – Daily Mail

Jerusalem Post, October 25, 2025:

More than 150 terrorists released as part of the recent hostage-for-prisoner exchange in US President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan have been enjoying the high life in luxury five-star hotels in Egypt alongside unsuspecting tourists, according to a Daily Mail investigation published on Saturday.

Pictured alongside Western tourists, the Mail tracked down the 154 terrorists released to Egypt at the Marriott’s five-star Renaissance Cairo Mirage City Hotel in Cairo.

Why did the government of Egypt not place the freed murderers in army barracks, away from the city, instead of in a five-star hotel in the middle of Cairo where their many Egyptian admirers can visit them and foreign journalists can interview them? In putting them in such luxurious surroundings, the Egyptian government is giving what many will interpret as an outward and visible sign of its approval of these men who should be shunned.

Journalists from the Mail were able to book rooms at the hotel without any warning of the ISIS and Hamas occupants inhabiting the space, the newspaper reported while sharing photos of the terrorists alongside Western tourists in swimwear. The Mail reported that many glared toward Western women enjoying their vacation in their bikinis.

Those Western tourists in the same hotel as the freed prisoners are no doubt wondering if they should move out, instead of living cheek-by-jowl with terrorist murderers who despise them as Infidels. And with all those men who have not been with a woman in many years, looking on — “glaring” — at female tourists at the hotel pool, the possibility of sexual assault of these non-Muslim women, whose “come-hither” dress — those bikinis! — assumed by Muslim men to make them “easy meat,” is worrisome.

The hotel, which starts at approximately NIS 800 [$250] a night, has a number of amenities including a spa, fitness centre, restaurants, outdoor pool and a hair salon….

Nothing but the best, apparently, for mass murderers of Jews. The Egyptian government has now semaphored its support for those it should be shunning, but instead are allowed to live in the lap of luxury.

No restrictions were placed on the movement of the freed terrorists. They can travel in Cairo and elsewhere in Egypt, even visit Europe to address pro-Hamas protesters, and to solicit donations for Hamas to continue its sacred mission of destroying Israel.

The terrorists were often seen withdrawing large quantities of cash, which is thought to have been delivered to the released prisoners as part of the Palestinian Authority’s pay-for-slay policy, which rewards terrorists with up to $33,000 a year. Some, according to Palestinian Media Watch, had saved the sums until their bank balance reached six figures.

Not only are these 154 freed terrorists now living in luxury, but they have received from the Palestinian Authority the large sums due to them under the “Pay-For-Slay” program. Some of them, having been in prison for decades, have received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the P.A.

The Trump administration should at once raise holy hell with the Egyptian government, demanding that the 154 freed prisoners be taken from their luxury hotel and instead placed in bleak barracks out in the desert, where they can no longer communicate with Hamas in Gaza, or meet admirers in Cairo, or give interviews to the international media. Let them remain there, held incommunicado, until such time as their transport to Turkey or Qatar can be arranged. And if the Egyptian government refuses to move them out of the Marriott, Trump need only threaten to cut the large amount of aid we still give to Cairo. That will concentrate the mind of General El-Sisi.

Considering these men have been without women for some months or years, one wonders if the government or Hezbolleh, or the PLO has hired a horde of prostitutes to keep them from raping every women and girl they see on the streets.

Middle East Madness > $70m makes Pay-for-Slay murderers millionaires; Erdogan determined to lead Islamic army against Jerusalem - The End Times

 

Palestinian Authority paid $70 million to jihad murderers freed in hostage deal


And the EU and other entities shower money on the Palestinian Authority, allowing it to continue to pay jihadis.

PA paid $70 million to terrorists freed in hostage deal, watchdog says

JNS, October 19, 2025:

In the context of the U.S.-brokered Israel-Hamas ceasefire that went into effect last week, Israel has released 250 Palestinian terrorists who were serving at least one life sentence for murder. Of those, 160 are now millionaires thanks to the Palestinian Authority’s “pay-for-slay” program, having been paid over 1 million shekels during their imprisonment, according to Palestinian Media Watch.

The 160 released terrorists collectively received at least 229.5 million shekels ($70 million) from the P.A., according to PMW. The other 90 also received a significant sum.

PMW noted that the figure excludes additional stipends for family members, meaning the total payouts were likely far higher.

“The Palestinian Authority ensures that it very much pays to slay,” PMW stated.

“Any government that spends hundreds of millions of dollars each year rewarding terrorists should be designated for what it is—a terror organization,” PMW founder and director Itamar Marcus told JNS.

“Yet the Palestinian Authority, which openly funds and glorifies terrorists, continues to enjoy international legitimacy and generous Western support,” he added.

“Shockingly, instead of cutting ties, the European Union and many European countries partner with the P.A. by paying its civil servants’ salaries—a scheme that frees up the P.A.’s other funds to pay monthly salaries to imprisoned terrorists. This is not legitimate foreign aid; it’s complicity in terror,” he told JNS….

Erdogan Prays That ‘Zionist Israel’ Be

‘Destroyed and Devastated’


Israel’s Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism Minister Amichai Chikli has just condemned Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday (October 29), noting that on March 30, 2025, Erdogan asked that “Zionist Israel” be “destroyed and devastated,” and he accused the Turkish leader of consistently seeking to undermine the Jewish people’s historic bond to Jerusalem. More on Chikli’s condemnation of Erdogan can be found here: 


‘Jihadist in a suit’: Chikli slams Turkish President Erdogan over prayer to destroy Israel,” 

Jerusalem Post, October 20, 2025:

Israel’s Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism Minister Amichai Chikli condemned Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday, highlighting a March 30, 2025 prayer in which Erdogan asked that “Zionist Israel” be “destroyed and devastated,” and accusing the Turkish leader of consistently seeking to undermine the Jewish people’s historic bond to Jerusalem.

In a post on X/Twitter, Chikli wrote that the line, “May Allah, for the sake of His name… destroy and devastate Zionist Israel,” was not uttered by Hamas or Hezbollah, but by Erdogan himself during a public prayer. Israeli and international outlets reported at the time that Erdogan, speaking at Istanbul’s Camlica Mosque at the close of Ramadan, used language translated as a call for Israel’s destruction. Israel condemned the remarks.

Chikli described Erdogan as “a sworn enemy of Israel and the West, a jihadist in a suit,” and pointed to earlier statements by the Turkish leader claiming a special Turkish claim to Jerusalem. On October 1, 2020, Erdogan told Turkey’s parliament: “So Jerusalem is our city. Our first qibla…,” a passage widely reported at the time.

He also referenced Erdogan’s September 2025 comments amid a dispute over the ancient Siloam Inscription, when the Turkish president said, “We will not give even a single pebble belonging to Jerusalem to Israel.” Turkish and regional media covered those remarks at the time.

The Siloam inscription is a major archeological find, made in 1880, that provides a text in ancient Hebrew from the 8th century B.C., about the Jews building a tunnel that brought water from the Spring of Gilon outside Jerusalem into the city. The controversy between Israel and Turkey is that the Siloam Inscription is now in the archeological museum in Istanbul, and Turkey will not return it to Israel, nor even let it be put temporarily on display in Israel.

Chikli’s mention of a Turkish presence “on our northern border” refers to the Turkish military presence in northern Syria; the southern border is a reference to Turkey possibly providing soldiers to help secure Gaza when a government of Arab technocrats replaces Hamas.

Along with Qatar, but to a lesser extent, Turkey has provided refuge for some of Hamas’ senior leadership. Israel opposes Turkey’s involvement in locating the bodies of Israeli hostages because the shared task could bring Turkey and Hamas even closer together.

The End Times

Erdogan, let’s remember, condemned Israel for stopping the Mavi Marmara, a boat that was part of a larger flotilla that in 2010 was dead set on breaking Israel’s blockade of Gaza. He described the Israeli sailors who rappelled down from helicopters to take over the boat as “killers” and demanded reparations from the Israeli government (which were eventually given). Erdogan has also called for a pan-Islamic force to be created to finally destroy the Jewish state, and it was clear that he saw himself as the natural leader of that force. He has also spoken of a future conflict between “the crescent and the cross,” and left no doubt as to which side he was on.

Erdogan clearly sees himself as the 12th Imam, the Mahdi, or the AntiChrist. He may well represent the Gog and Magog. If such is the case, he has to act soon as he is getting on in years. His dream of recreating the Ottoman Empire with himself as Caliph will soon run out of time otherwise.

Despite this disturbing history, Donald Trump likes Recep Tayyip Erdogan, seemingly more than he likes Benjamin Netanyahu. At a recent meeting with Erdogan, he said: “It’s a pleasure to be with President Erdogan of Turkey, and we’ve been friends for a long time.” “He’s a fantastic man” and “a guy who’s been a friend of mine for a long time. I don’t know why I like the tough people better than the soft, easy ones. This gentleman from a place called Turkey is one of the most powerful in the world… He’s a tough cookie — but he’s my friend.”

Will Trump continue to be impressed with that “tough cookie” who has prayed to Allah to destroy Israel, who proudly proclaimed that he would be ready to lead a Muslim army to fight the Jews, and is equally ready to lead the forces of the Crescent against those of the Cross?

Or will he come to his senses about the antisemitic and anti-Infidel padishah in his 1,150-room Ak Saray, or White Palace, on the banks of the Bosphorus, and make sure that whatever happens in Gaza, Erdogan will not be part of it?

Middle East Madness > PA continues it's Pay-for-Slay program; Saudi blasts Palestinians in video

 

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. More on this announcement can be found here:


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


February 20, 2025 15.9K views

The most common criticism of what Israel has supposedly done to the supposed “Palestinians” in what has been coined “Palestine” is that Israel has stolen the Land from those who have an indigenous claim to the Land. This triple lie should be studied in marketing courses across the world in order to study how an alternative reality can be created out of thin air in order to promote a specific cause. 

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.
