Of course, what they mean by terrorism is not what non-Muslims mean by terrorism.
“Absurd irony: The PA at ‘No Money for Terrorism’ conference,” by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik, Palestinian Media Watch, June 25, 2018:
It would almost be funny if it wasn’t so absurd. The Palestinian Authority, whose leaders pay salaries to imprisoned terrorist murderers and to families of killed terrorists – including suicide bombers – participated in a conference in Paris called “No Money for Terrorism”!
“The State of Palestine participated… in a ministerial conference against terror funding, which was held in the French capital Paris under the headline No Money for Terrorism. Palestine was represented at the conference by [PA] Minister of Foreign Affairs Riyad Al-Malki and Head of the [Palestinian] Central Bank Azzam Al-Shawa, accompanied by a Palestinian delegation.”
[WAFA, official PA news agency, April 26, 2018]The PA was invited and included in the conference while the PA actively and openly uses its money and also donor countries’ money to pay terrorists, while PA leaders ignore the condemnation by the international community.
The PA pays monthly salaries to around 6,500 imprisoned terrorists, as well monthly allowances to the families of tens of thousands of killed terrorists – who the PA calls “Martyrs” – to which the PA allocated over $350 million in its published 2018 budget. Despite international criticism, PA leaders vow to continue to pay these salaries rewarding terror.
Palestinian Media Watch has documented that the PA spends money on establishing monuments to terrorist murderers and the PA Ministry of Education has named 31 schools after terrorists, just to name a few of the many ways the PA spends money on terrorists and on immortalizing them.
PMW has documented the enormous amounts the PA has paid to imprisoned terrorists….
Recently, Abbas’ deputy chairman of Fatah, Mahmoud Al-Aloul, who may replace Abbas should he step down, emphasized the PA’s commitment to continue funding terrorists:
“We are speaking about [imprisoned] heroes and fighters, about freedom fighters… Even if we are left with only a few pennies, we will allocate them only to the families of the Martyrs and to the prisoners.”
