"Pay for Slay" hurts Palestinians, too - but they don't mind

Palestinian public school teachers in the West Bank have been on strike for eight days. There is no indication that the issue will be resolved any time soon.

The teachers have not received their full salaries for over a year because  of the Palestinian Authority financial crisis, which comes from a combination of the reduction of aid from Arab countries and Israel's reducing the tax revenue paid to the PA equivalent to the amount they pay terrorists and their families.

Which proves that paying salaries to terrorists and their families is a higher priority than paying the full salaries of 38,000 teachers. 

According to the Israel Defense And Security Forum,  a convicted terrorist's salary is quadruple that of a typical teacher. A Palestinian terrorist who serves a life sentence in prison receives a salary that is four times higher than the average Palestinian income.

Terror is more important than educating kids.

But we already knew that. Mahmoud Abbas has said that if there was only one penny in his budget, it would go to pay terrorists and their families.

Keep in mind it is not only the government. As far as I can tell, Palestinians wholly support "pay for slay" and consider it to be a necessary social program.

Supporting terror is baked into Palestinian society.
