Israel pays compensation to families of 2 Palestinians killed by Hamas.
Unprecedented verdict sees two million shekels awarded to relatives of pair who were killed by a Kassam rocket when working at a Gaza settlement in 2005

In an unprecedented award, the Israeli government transferred more than two million shekels last week in compensation payments to the families of two Palestinian residents of the Gaza Strip who were killed in 2005 by rockets fired by Hamas terrorists.

Each family received NIS 1,070,000 ($295,000) in compensation for the deaths.

According to a Channel 10 report on Sunday, the two Palestinians were employed in a greenhouse at the Gaza settlement of Ganei Tal. They were killed when a Hamas-fired rocket exploded at the site, the TV report said.

As far as The Times of Israel could ascertain on Sunday night, the attack in question took place on June 8, 2005, when two Kassam rockets were fired at the Ganei Tal greenhouse packing plant. The two Palestinians were killed, as was a Chinese worker. Five other workers were injured.

After the two workers’ deaths, their families sued the state of Israel for compensation. The Labor Court initially denied the compensation claim, but the families appealed to a special Ministry of Defense compensation committee.

The committee determined that the Palestinians were legally employed in Israeli-controlled territory, and consequently awarded the compensation in what is believed to be the first such verdict and payment of its kind

Weeks after the attack, the Israeli government demolished Ganei Tal, along with all the Gush Katif settlements, in the Gaza disengagement, and also removed its entire military presence. Greenhouses were left intact, with the idea that they might be utilized to boost the Palestinian economy after Israel’s withdrawal. However, the greenhouses were smashed apart by Gazans after the Israeli pullout.

Since the direct allocation of funds to the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip is forbidden under Israeli law, an Israeli attorney who represented the two Palestinian families transferred the compensation payments to them via a New York bank.

Another article i saw, which shows more and more why Chaim is the only person who can lead Israel.
There would be a death penalty for these Palestinian savages who slaughter Israeli civilians.

PA spends 6% of its budget paying Palestinians in Israeli jails, families of suicide bombers.
Hamas terrorist who orchestrated 2002 Park Hotel massacre, in which 30 Israelis died, gets $3,000 a month, Channel 2 reports; bomb-maker jailed for 67 killings gets $1,000

Despite the Palestinian Authority’s financial hardships, it spends tens of millions of shekels each month paying salaries to prisoners held in Israeli jails for security offenses and acts of terrorism against Israel — including mass murderers — and last year Prime Minister Salam Fayyad tripled their monthly pay. The PA also pays monthly stipends to the families of suicide bombers.

Payments are made not only to members of Fatah, the political faction of PA President Mahmoud Abbas, but also to those of his bitter Islamist rivals from Hamas, and other factions.

As of May 2011, the PA spent NIS 18 million ($4.5 million) per month on compensating Palestinian inmates in Israeli prisons and a further NIS 26 million ($6.5 million) on payments to families of suicide bombers. In all, such payments cost the PA some 6 percent of its overall budget, Israel’s Channel 2 news reported on Monday night, citing documentation signed by Fayyad.

The PA also makes payments to Israeli Arabs jailed for security offenses against Israel, the report said.

Starting in 2003, Palestinian law mandated the dispensation of a monthly salary of NIS 1,000 ($250) to security detainees sentenced to up to five years in prison. The longer the sentence, the higher the pay. An inmate serving a life sentence was paid NIS 4,000 ($1,000) per month.

An amendment of the law in January 2011 enacted by Fayyad increased the salaries by up to 300%, Channel 2 reported.

A prisoner sentenced up to three years in prison now receives a base salary of NIS 1,400 per month, and for 3-5 years that rate increases to NIS 2,000, the report said. A NIS 300 bonus is added for a wife, and NIS 50 per child.

According to the Channel 2 report, the PA-funded salaries are an equal opportunity benefit; members of Fatah, Hamas, and Islamic Jihad all receive them.

Prisoners’ salaries also increase based on how many years they have served. Abdullah Barghouti, a Hamas bomb-maker who was sentenced in 2004 to 67 life terms for orchestrating the killings of 67 Israelis, receives a monthly stipend of NIS 4,000. In less than a year that figure will rise to NIS 6,000 ($1,500).

Another major Hamas terrorist figure, Abbas al-Sayyeed, convicted of planning the 2002 Park Hotel massacre, in which 30 Israeli civilians were killed as they sat down for a Passover meal, is paid NIS 12,000 ($3,000) per month.

Prisoners who have sat more than 30 years in Israeli prison receive NIS 12,000 per month.

That's nice. When is the PA going to start paying suicide bombing victims to Israeli families? Its time we stop playing morality and humanity with these evil selfish people.
