None of that made a war to eradicate Nazism any less just. As Orwell pointed out, too, those who advocated such a war yet wrung their hands over the inevitable civilian deaths, were engaging in the most “disasteful”, “sheer humbug”.
As for Palestine, the sheer hatred of Jews runs so deep that even the Palestinian Authority (with its eerily Nazi-like eagle crest), run by the supposed mortal enemy of Hamas, is shelling out millions in blood money to the monsters who perpetrated the October 7 pogrom.
As for Palestine, the sheer hatred of Jews runs so deep that even the Palestinian Authority (with its eerily Nazi-like eagle crest), run by the supposed mortal enemy of Hamas, is shelling out millions in blood money to the monsters who perpetrated the October 7 pogrom.
The Palestinian Authority will pay nearly $3 million to the families of slain Hamas terrorists who slaughtered civilians in Gaza border communities on Oct 7, Palestinian Media Watch reports.
Moreover, the Palestinian Authority will find a way to deliver the payments despite the fact that Gaza is at war and that Hamas seeks to overthrow the Ramallah government.
When push comes to shove, after all, if there’s one thing Palestinians agree on, it’s killing Jews in as horrible a way as possible.
“The PA spends every month half of the [Martyrs Fund] budget for Gaza terrorists. We see it from the budget reports. They call it ‘South Palestine,’” PMW director Itamar Marcus told the Tazpit Press Service.
“We are used to seeing the PA and Gaza as two different things, but they sit in the same money,” Marcus stressed […]
“So now according to the law the PA passed, they will pay all those retroactively, starting this month together with those who carried out the attack on October 7.”
For those who need a reminder of what the PA is paying out blood money for.
More than 1,400 Israelis were killed and some 4,100 others were wounded, with another 199 captives – or more – taken back to Gaza.
Beyond that sanitised sentence, the details are horrific:
Other militants are busy mashing a dying man’s face with their boots. Another pair screams “Allahu akbar” as they use a garden hoe to try to decapitate another man.
In another house, a gunman sticks the muzzle of his rifle into a room inhabited by a family. It’s a mash of colors. In one, a terrorist is standing on an Israeli man’s chest and shoots him point-blank in the face […]
Then, the scenes of bloodied bedrooms start to blur. The rooms and the gore are the same – it’s how the bodies are arrayed in death that’s different. There are so many children. Some are jam-packed together in a slippery mass of human flesh. Huge blood stains streak the tiles.
Then there was the unspeakable butchery of children at Kfar Aza.
All this is being rewarded by the PA.
Under PA law, every Palestinian Authority terrorist who is killed attacking Israelis is classified as a ‘martyr’ and the family is rewarded with a NIS 6,000 ($1,511) grant, followed by a lifetime monthly stipend of NIS 1,400 ($353).
PMW’s report estimates that each Hamas terrorist family will receive NIS 7,400 ($1,843) for the first month and NIS 11,100,000 shekels ($2,789,430) in total for the operatives who were killed in the October 7 invasion of Israel.
In addition, there are 50 Hamas terrorists captured by Israel who participated in the massacre who will be paid at least NIS 70,000 ($17,590) in total this month.
In total, the PA will pay at least NIS 11,170,000 ($2,807,021) in payments to the families of dead Hamas terrorists and to imprisoned Hamas terrorists who participated in the Oct 7 massacre.
This is what Palestine spends its money on.
Blood money flowing straight from the pockets of the same hateful cretins marching in their thousands and chanting, “From the River to the Sea”.
“The Palestinian Authority should be sending a big thank you to the European Union countries and Norway, currently the largest funders of the PA, because the PA could not possibly make these terror payments without them,” Palestinian Media Watch pointed out.
“These donor countries like to pretend that it’s not their money rewarding terrorists, but everyone knows that the PA could not reward terrorists without this generous foreign funding.”
They must be so proud.
Depressingly, they probably are.

Israel is not only decimating Gaza with airstrikes but employing the oldest and cruelest weapon of war — starvation. Israel’s message, on the eve of a ground invasion, is clear. Leave Gaza or Die.
Israel, with the backing of its U.S. and European allies, is preparing to launch not only a scorched earth campaign in Gaza but the worst ethnic cleansing since the wars in the former Yugoslavia. The goal is to drive tens, most probably hundreds of thousands of Palestinians over the southern border at Rafah into refugee camps in Egypt. The reverberations will be catastrophic, not only for the Palestinians, but throughout the region, almost certainly triggering armed clashes to the north of Israel with Hezbollah in Lebanon and perhaps with Syria and Iran.
The Hamas terrorists backed and coordinated by Iran carried their murderous attack on women and children with the sole aim of provoking a massive response from Israel. It was quite obvious that a number of the attackers didn't look Palestinian, so it is easy to assume that terror groups like ISIS were involved as well.
We all should condemn and hate the fact that innocent women and children have been killed, injured, and captured by a group that can be described as barbaric,” wrote Dennis Fritz, director of the Eisenhower Media Network (EMN). However, “[it] is also barbaric that the Palestinians have been restricted to a caged environment with no access to the outside world and treated worse than animals.”
In a Wednesday interview, former weapons inspector and U.S. Marines Officer Scott Ritter told Judge Andrew Napolitano, “You have to understand” that Gaza is “a prison, a concentration camp.”
Call me stupid, but one thing which is never canvassed in all this war of words, is the great long open coastline of the Gaza strip. What on earth prevents all of Hamas' friends in the rest of the vast Islamic world from floating in rafts and rafts of aid of every description? Is it that the rest of the Islamic world (with the exception of the Shah of Iran)is not sympathetic to the Palestinians?
EP, Iran has been a republic since 1979 so there ain't no Shah. That 'great long open coastline of Gaza is just 40km long and is closely monitored by the Israelis. A flotilla of rafts would give the Israeli navy and air force plenty of target practice and nothing else.
Everyone, both Sunni and Shia, in the ME, is sympathetic to the Palestinians but the US makes sure everyone abides by Washington's dictates in this repect.
Israel was founded on lies. The lie that Palestinian land was largely unoccupied. The lie that 750,000 Palestinians fled their homes and villages during their ethnic cleansing by Zionist militias in 1948 because they were told to do so by Arab leaders. The lie that it was Arab armies that started the 1948 war that saw Israel seize 78 percent of historic Palestine. The lie that Israel faced annihilation in 1967, forcing it to invade and occupy the remaining 22 percent of Palestine, as well as land belonging to Egypt and Syria.
Israel is sustained by lies. The lie that Israel wants a just and equitable peace and will support a Palestinian state. The lie that Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. The lie that Israel is an “outpost of Western civilization in a sea of barbarism.” The lie that Israel respects the rule of law and human rights.
Hmmm.

I completely agree about the litany of lies on which Israel is built, but I notice that your comment is a direct cut and paste of the first two paragraphs of a recent Chris Hedges article on the topic.
