Frieden in Israel ist nicht möglich, bis die Palästinenser aufhören, Terroristen für das Töten zu bezahlen | Meinung

SS: An 83-year-old Holocaust survivor, Ludmila Lipovsky, was brutally stabbed to death last month in Israel while waiting for her daughter to take her to a doctor’s appointment ([NSFW/L](https://x.com/BFacist/status/1873157358073069777)). The accused is a 28-year-old Palestinian man from the West Bank. This tragic act exemplifies the violence fueled by the Palestinian Authority’s “pay to slay” program, which provides financial rewards to Palestinians who commit acts of terrorism against Israelis.

This program is embedded in Palestinian law and incentivizes violence by offering monthly payments to those convicted of terror-related crimes. The payments increase with the severity of the crime, reaching over $1,500 monthly for those serving longer sentences. Released prisoners receive substantial benefits, including lump-sum grants, guaranteed government jobs, free education, and lifelong health care. Families of attackers killed during attacks are supported through the “martyrs’ fund,” with monthly payments extending to spouses and children.

Despite international criticism and efforts like the U.S. Taylor Force Act, which conditions aid to the Palestinian Authority on ending these payments, the program persists. In 2023, the PA expanded payouts, adding beneficiaries, including those involved in recent attacks against Israel.

This framework institutionalizes violence, obstructs peace, and perpetuates conflict, as it remains deeply ingrained in Palestinian society.

**Resolving the Israel-Palestine conflict requires dismantling the “pay to slay” program, which continues to fuel tensions and undermine stability in the region.**
