Abbas Pays Families of Suicide Bombers



Israel National News reported that Arafat's successor, Mahmoud Abbas, has just approved a new law that provides monetary grants to families of suicide bomers. His the support for terrorists is obvious: the new legislation refers to the suicide terrorists as martyrs. Terrorist families will be paid a base sum of $250 per month. The families of married terrorists are entitled to an additional $50 per month, and $15 are added for each child, $25 for each parent, and $15 for each brother who lived with the terrorist prior to his death. All of which will be paid out of the general budget of the Palestinian Authority.

As Israel National News puts it, "The message here is obviously go ahead and blow yourself up because we'll make sure your family is OK. So regardless of what sort of lip service Abbas gives to stopping terrorism, he's putting the official state seal of approval on suicide bombing."
