Pay for Slay
For years the Palestinian Authority has utilized a system of compensation for terror. This system perpetuates the conflict, leads to an endless cycle of violence, and keeps Palestinians trapped in poverty.
WHAT IS PAY FOR SLAY?
#APARTHEIDWEEKEXPOSED
The Palestinian Authority has long claimed to denounce support for terror and the funding of terrorism.
Unfortunately, despite a consistent flow of proclamations and denials, the reality on the ground tells a different story.

The PA supports terrorism against Israel with its “pay for slay” program. It provides monthly salaries, or stipends, to terrorists and their families. Those eligible are often convicted of attacks against Israeli civilians or are killed during stabbings, bombings or shootings.
The legal backbone for the pay for slay scheme originates, in part, from a 2004 PA law guaranteeing these payouts for terrorists and their families.

Pay for slay payments have become a multimillion-dollar industry in Palestinian society, with separate funding categories for both terror payments and “injuries” acquired in “wars” with Israel.
PAY FOR SLAY ANNUAL COST: ~$300MM
2016:
$315 million
2017:
$355 million
2018:
$330 million

PAY FOR SLAY’S VICTIMS

2011: Udi and Ruth Fogel and three of their children (Yoav, Elad, and Hadas) were brutally murdered by Palestinian terrorists in what became known as the “Itamar massacre.” After conviction in an Israeli court, they each receive a monthly stipend of $1,806.
2015: Muhannad Halabi murdered two Israeli civilians (Rabbi Nehemiah Lavi and Aharon Banita) and injured two (including a 2-year-old) in a Jerusalem stabbing attack. In 2021, the Halabi family received $42,000 from the PA.
2016: Bashar Mashalha went on a Jaffa stabbing spree, killing US graduate student, tourist, and veteran Taylor Force. Mashalha’s family was compensated through “pay for slay.”

In response to these attacks and Taylor Force’s murder, Israel and the US passed separate laws called “The Taylor Force Act.”
The US version was signed into law in 2018 and primarily targeted economic aid to the PA if pay for slay payments did not end in their entirety. The Israeli version followed in 2019 and differs somewhat from the US law
-it targets Palestinian tax revenues that Israel transfers annually to the PA.

While a consistent financial trail proves that the PA continues payments to convicted terrorists and their families, there has also been a constant flow of media disinformation.
In 2021, Foreign Policy Magazine referred to “pay for slay” as a “controversial welfare policy for militants convicted of violence against Israelis.”
But the facts cannot be hidden. Pay for slay is about paying terrorists for murdering Israelis.
