Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas will pay pensions for the released Palestinian terrorists with US aid money.
Commentary Magazine reported:

It is no secret that Hamas was strengthened by the conclusion of its ransom deal with Israel in which over one thousand Palestinian terrorists were freed in exchange for the safe return of Gilad Shalit. But its Fatah rivals are not taking this triumph lying down. In the wake of the announcement that Hamas will be paying each of the released killers, almost all of whom are either directly or indirectly responsible for the murders of Jews, a bonus of $2,000, the Palestinian Authority has also decreedthat it will be paying every one of the murderers a separate honorarium though the amount was not specified. That PA leader Mahmoud Abbas, the man that is supposed to be Israel’s peace partner, will pay this cash reward for murder, is an irony that is lost on an Obama administration that continues to urge the Jewish state to make concessions to the PA.

This is of more than passing interest to American readers since hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. taxpayer funds are transferred to the Palestinian Authority every year. That makes Uncle Sam is paying a subsidy to mass murderers. That’s a not insignificant point to remember when Congress decides whether or not to continue the flow of aid to the PA.

  1. So how many of these released prisoners are carrying tracking devices ?

  2. President Downgrade is one evil sonofabitch for looking the other way on this.

  3. The palis shouldn’t be getting a dime from us. Not a dime.

    Of course, we can’t forget the $900 million Barky gave Hamas right after he slimed into office …

  4. Herman Cain, An outspoken advocate for the American people.

    This crap has got to stop.

  5. We’ve been supporting the PA terrorist regime for a long time. I remember that we were training their police in our security procedures under the moron Bush. It’s all part of the suicidal insanity of the West.

  6. why… the hell… are we funding the PA?

    The Arabs have vast amounts of oil reservoirs… that they take in billions from….

    if they care for the Palestinians… why don’t they fund it with such….

  7. If Obama isn’t using tax dollars for unions and donkey party slush funds it’s ending up in enemy pockets. We are financing those who want to arrange our funeral.

  8. I never did understand that after 9/11 G.W. Bush said that there would be no funding for terrorist organizations and yet we funded the Palestine Authority. Our politicians, no matter what flavor they are certainly are not working on the behalf of the American people. It’s time to remove all these traitors office, Bush is gone but there are plenty more including his replacement still in office selling the country down the drain.

  9. That’s a not insignificant point to remember when Congress decides whether or not to continue the flow of aid to the PA.

    Unless there’s a sea change in November of 2012, it’s unlikely we’d see an “or not”…

  10. So, does that me we have to put ourselves on our own State Sponsors of Terror Watchlist?

  11. Oh HELL no! I am not amused by this development at all. Clair McCaskill left a message on my recorder just today, perhaps I’ll return the call tonight and give her an earful about just this.

  12. Where is the outrage? This is the only place I’ve seen this.

  13. Be a great opportunity for Mossad to identify each and every one when they claim their 2 grand.

  14. We really need to beef up intelligence and we are made fools of with the help of a commander in thief’s indecisiveness, incredible lack of experience and we are giving aid to China.

    We owe China but we are giving them aid and secrets to our intelligence and technology. I want to rip my hair out.

    Leaving Iraq was a tragic mistake and Obama puttered around this for 2 1/2 years. No formal negotiations in my opinion.

    We have a Billion Dollar embassy over there. Not sure who will be working in the massive building, hope there is some security there, too.

    Who knows what will happen because Obama has sloughed off anything of Defense importance to Campaign and ask for more Campaign contributions.

    Insecurity
    Spending more and getting less
    Spending the wealth all around and Americans are in the dark.
    Nation’s security and Sharia Law takes over in Libya just that quick.

  15. We gave money to the Israelis, and they said, “Thank you. See what we did with your money? We made the desert bloom”

    We gave money to the Palis and they said, “We hate you. We want to kill every Jew, and you, and failing that, we’ll kill each other.”

    Which of these is our friend and ally?

  16. the cong passed legislation that allowed Palis or Hamasniks to seek asylum in the USA. It was
    backed by Hillary. I don’t know if the came over or where they live.

  17. OT- Islamist, Progressives and Justice department. READ MORE. JUST POSTED LAST PART

    The meeting at George Washington University showcased the expanding alliance between American progressives and Islamists, said Andrew McCarthy, a former federal prosecutor in New York.

    Progressives “are making these Islamist groups into the [political] representatives of Muslims in the United States,” he told The Daily Caller. That elevation of Islamists to a leadership role sidelines the majority of American Muslims who don’t want Islamist leaders, as well as American Muslims who are female or gay, he said.

    McCarthy investigated and prosecuted Egyptian-born Imam Omar Abdel-Rahman, dubbed “the blind sheik,” for urging Muslims to kill New Yorkers. Abdel-Rahman was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1996.

    Progressives ally with the Islamic lobby because “they think it will be a political voting bloc that will be reliably Democratic,” said Robert Spencer, an author and expert on Islam.
