| PA (meaning the West, especially the U.S) to pay salaries to all terrorists in Israeli prisons |
| 2011-05-21 |
| A law published in the official Palestinian Authority Registry last month grants all Palestinians and Israeli Arabs imprisoned in Israel for terror crimes a monthly salary from the PA. The Arabic word the PA uses for this payment is "ratib," meaning "salary." Palestinian Media Watch has reported numerous times on Palestinian Authority glorification of terrorists serving time in Israeli prisons. Following the signing of this new law, the PA is now paying a salary to these prisoners. The PA has defined by law which Palestinians would be considered "prisoners." "Anyone imprisoned in the occupation's [Israel's] prisons as a result of his participation in the struggle against the occupation." [Ch. 1 of Law of Prisoners, 2004/19, passed and published by the PA Chairman and Government, December 2004. The Prisoners' Centre for Studies,www.alasra.ps Accessed May 9, 2011] In other words, all Palestinians in Israeli prisons for terror crimes officially join the PA payroll. According to the definition in the PA law, Palestinian car thieves in Israeli prisons will not receive a salary, but Hamas and Fatah terrorist murderers will. The PA also gives a salary to Israeli Arabs convicted of terror crimes against Israel - the country of which they are citizens. PA benefits to Israeli Arab terrorists, in fact, are greater than the ones extended to Palestinian terrorists. Those serving more than 20-year sentences will receive a greater PA salary than prisoners serving shorter sentences, the new PA law establishes. Salaries are to be paid from the day of arrest until release. |

| #3 Sounds like time for the Israelis to have a lethal, food-borne epidemic in one of their prisons. Give them a big meal laced with cholera, then have a security lock down for 48 hours, with all guards manning the walls and looking outward, against a possible "terrorist assault". Blame can be laid on a new prisoner just returned from a place with an outbreak. |

| #2 So this means that they are agents of the PA - making the PA culpable for their crimes right? |

| #1 Amnesty International will be delighted. Until they express outrage that when the Israeli jailers delay the distribution of the funds. |
