Pays 2B a Palestinian terrorist

[fanger]

Sixties Fan, should unsupported Mothers and their children get welfare payments from the Government to live?

The Arabs-Moslems posing as "Pal'istanians" should go begging to their Arab-Moslem bretheren for their welfare payments. I see no reason why we in the West should be financing Islamic terrorism.

I have no use for Arabs-Moslems who despise us and vilify us for who we are; our religions, our politics and our socio-political structure, yet come begging like underpaid prostitutes for a cash handout.

Maybe Iran will cover the welfare payments, israel would love that, as for "begging like underpaid prostitutes for a cash handout." israel is by far the greatest recipient of US handouts

The base rate for a prisoner with a life sentence in prison is NIS 1400 per month.

The prisoner receives an extra amount for a dependent wife of NIS 400 and for dependent children of NIS 200 per child.

While you can argue that the extra payment for the wife and children are indeed social welfare payments, the base rate is not. Neither are any payments made for to prisoners with no dependents.

According to one report, 62% of prisoners were unmarried with no dependents. (I'm looking for a better link for that statistic.)

 

[Shusha]

Indeed, some wives with children are struggling to survive because the prisoner has designated his salary go to other family members and not to her.

As said prisoner is in an israeli jail, supposedly under israeli control, the israeli's can make sure he receives no money

We here in the Great Satan™ have mutually beneficial relations with Israel. You will have to deal with that. I do find it amusing that people like you spend their lives in hand-wringing agony over our shared interests with Israel. Have a falafel while you pound you forehead on the floor.

BTW, Shia Iran likes nothing better than seeing Sunni Arabs begging like underpaid prostitutes.

The salary payments are made to the prisoner's designated family member. Israel has no control over it.

U.S. foreign aid: A waste of money or a boost to world stability? Here are the facts

[But, let us look at how much the US gives to the Palestinians]

Since the establishment of limited Palestinian self-rule in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the mid-1990s, the U.S. government has committed more than $5 billion in bilateral economic and non-lethal security assistance to the Palestinians, who are among the world’s largest per capita recipients of international foreign aid. Successive Administrations have requested aid for the Palestinians in apparent support of (1) promoting the prevention or mitigation of terrorism against Israel; (2) fostering stability, prosperity, and self-governance in the West Bank that may aid Israeli-Palestinian diplomatic prospects; and (3) meeting humanitarian needs. The long-term utility of U.S. aid in encouraging regional stability and Palestinian economic and political self- sufficiency might depend to some extent on progress toward a political solution that addresses Palestinian national aspirations and Israeli security demands.

[ Looks like the US Congress has finally decided that the money going to the Palestinians, the PA, is really going to formment hatred for Jews and Israelis, and paying salaries for those Arabs in Israeli Prisons.
They committed crimes, they should be in prison. No other prisoners receive some salary, or their families, etc anywhere else in the world . So why should the Arabs who call themselves Pally'stan? (What would they have called themselves if the British had any honor and called their Mandate, the Mandate for Israel ? ]

[Just look at the table on this site, to see how it has been before and after the Oslo Accords. Yes, the Accords which were going to bring an end to the conflict and make Arabs stop teaching their children to hate Israel and Jews. That Accord ! ]

Also note that the ICRC facilitates these payments and is therefore, imo, complicit.

Ah so no payments are actually made to prisoners which goes against the OP claim that "compensation the Palestinian Authority awards its murderous sons". They get nothing

U.S. Foreign Aid to the Palestinians (FY2016)

Out of the top six U.S. foreign aid recipients, five of them were Muslim countries. And yet it seems the U.S. can’t buy good press in the Middle East.
Who was the sixth, and was it the biggest, and was it called israel. to the tune of $3,800,000,000 per year?

Countless articles discrediting Israel (as well as many other better-intentioned articles) ask how it is that a country as small as Israel receives the bulk of US military aid. Israel receives 55%, or $US3.1 billion per year, followed by Egypt, which receives 23%. This largesse comes at the expense, so it is claimed, of other equal or more important allies, such as Germany, Japan, and South Korea. The complaint conjures the specter of an all-powerful Israel lobby that has turned the US Congress into its pawn.

The response to the charge is simple: Israel is not even a major beneficiary of American military aid. The numerical figure reflects official direct US military aid, but is almost meaningless compared to the real costs and benefits of US military aid – which include, above all, American boots on the ground in the host states.

There are 150,500 American troops stationed in seventy countries around the globe. This costs the American taxpayer an annual $US85-100 billion, according to David Vine, a professor at American University and author of a book on the subject. In other words, 800-1,000 American soldiers stationed abroad represent US$565-665 million of aid to the country in which they are located.
------
Once the real costs are calculated, the largest aid recipient is revealed to be Japan, where 48,828 US military personnel are stationed. This translates into a US military aid package of over US$27 billion (calculated according to Vine’s lower estimation). Germany, with 37,704 US troops on its soil, receives aid equivalent to around US$21 billion; South Korea, with 27,553 US troops, receives over US$15 billion; and Italy receives at least US$6 billion.

If Vine’s estimate is correct, Japan’s US military aid package is nine times larger than that of Israel, Germany’s is seven times larger, and Italy’s is twice as large. The multipliers are even greater for Egypt. Even the Lilliputian Gulf states, Kuwait and Bahrain, whose American bases are home to over 5,000 US military personnel apiece, receive military aid almost equal to what Israel receives.
----------
In striking contrast, no US plane has ever flown to protect Israel’s airspace. No US Navy ship patrols to protect Israel’s coast. And most importantly, no US military personnel are put at risk to ensure Israel’s safety.

In Japan, South Korea, Germany, Kuwait, Qatar, the Baltic states, Poland, and elsewhere, US troops are a vulnerable trip-wire. It is hoped that their presence will deter attack, but there is never any assurance that an attack will not take place. Should such an attack occur, it will no doubt cost American lives.

The Sins of the father?

Oh please. What I detest about the Zionists is that they just don't treat the Palestinians with the same love, justice & respect the surrounding Arab countries do where there are no Palestinian complaints or attacks.

Takes a special type of person to wish Harm or Hunger on small children ..Mazel Tov, enjoy your Karma

Are you daft? No one in their right mind wishes harm on any small children. Unless of course they are taught & trained to kill us.

This costs the American taxpayer an annual $US85-100 billion, according to David Vine, a professor at American University and author of a book on the subject. In other words, 800-1,000 American soldiers stationed abroad represent US$565-665 million of aid to the country in which they are located.
------
Once the real costs are calculated, the largest aid recipient is revealed to be Japan, where 48,828 US military personnel are stationed. This translates into a US military aid package of over US$27 billion (calculated according to Vine’s lower estimation). Germany, with 37,704 US troops on its soil, receives aid equivalent to around US$21 billion; South Korea, with 27,553 US troops, receives over US$15 billion; and Italy receives at least US$6 billion.

If Vine’s estimate is correct, Japan’s US military aid package is nine times larger than that of Israel, Germany’s is seven times larger, and Italy’s is twice as large. The multipliers are even greater for Egypt. Even the Lilliputian Gulf states, Kuwait and Bahrain, whose American bases are home to over 5,000 US military personnel apiece, receive military aid almost equal to what Israel receives.
----------
In striking contrast, no US plane has ever flown to protect Israel’s airspace. No US Navy ship patrols to protect Israel’s coast. And most importantly, no US military personnel are put at risk to ensure Israel’s safety.

In Japan, South Korea, Germany, Kuwait, Qatar, the Baltic states, Poland, and elsewhere, US troops are a vulnerable trip-wire. It is hoped that their presence will deter attack, but there is never any assurance that an attack will not take place. Should such an attack occur, it will no doubt cost American lives.

Myth: Israel Is the Largest Beneficiary of US Military Aid

Japan, Germany, South Korea, Italy all have at least three things in common, invaded by the US during War, Still occupied By The US, not wanted there by the nation

Gee whiz. Another of your goofy conspiracy theories.

[2012 - Look who were some of the top hand out countries]

The U.S. disbursed $33.2 billion—$19 billion in economic assistance to 184 countries and $14.2 billion in military assistance to 142 countries. Out of the top six U.S. foreign aid recipients, five of them were Muslim countries. And yet it seems the U.S. can’t buy good press in the Middle East.

U.S. Gives Financial Aid to 96% of All Countries

Is this also wasted money?

U.S. foreign aid: A waste of money or a boost to world stability? Here are the facts

[But, let us look at how much the US gives to the Palestinians]

Since the establishment of limited Palestinian self-rule in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the mid-1990s, the U.S. government has committed more than $5 billion in bilateral economic and non-lethal security assistance to the Palestinians, who are among the world’s largest per capita recipients of international foreign aid. Successive Administrations have requested aid for the Palestinians in apparent support of (1) promoting the prevention or mitigation of terrorism against Israel; (2) fostering stability, prosperity, and self-governance in the West Bank that may aid Israeli-Palestinian diplomatic prospects; and (3) meeting humanitarian needs. The long-term utility of U.S. aid in encouraging regional stability and Palestinian economic and political self- sufficiency might depend to some extent on progress toward a political solution that addresses Palestinian national aspirations and Israeli security demands.

[ Looks like the US Congress has finally decided that the money going to the Palestinians, the PA, is really going to formment hatred for Jews and Israelis, and paying salaries for those Arabs in Israeli Prisons.
They committed crimes, they should be in prison. No other prisoners receive some salary, or their families, etc anywhere else in the world . So why should the Arabs who call themselves Pally'stan? (What would they have called themselves if the British had any honor and called their Mandate, the Mandate for Israel ? ]

[Just look at the table on this site, to see how it has been before and after the Oslo Accords. Yes, the Accords which were going to bring an end to the conflict and make Arabs stop teaching their children to hate Israel and Jews. That Accord ! ]

U.S. Foreign Aid to the Palestinians (FY2016)

Out of the top six U.S. foreign aid recipients, five of them were Muslim countries. And yet it seems the U.S. can’t buy good press in the Middle East.
Who was the sixth, and was it the biggest, and was it called israel. to the tune of $3,800,000,000 per year?

It is quite remarkable that for all the hate leveled at the us here in the Great Satan™ by Islamics, you people sure have no issue with coming back like underpaid prostitutes for those kuffar welfare dollars.

I would seem you appear to have a greater experience of "underpaid prostitutes" than I do (this is the 3rd or 4th time you've used the phrase), in your opinion, would you call israel an underpaid Prostitute, an overpaid Prostitute, or one paid a fair price?
