If you think Israel should be the only country that should not be allowed to defend itself from war or terrorism, then you are racist. Israel has to endure an average of 2000 terror attacks each year, and Palestine fired hundreds of missile into Israel last year. Yet, Amnesty International complained when Israel dared to defend itself. The only people who are killed by Israel are those committing terrorism, unlike the Palestinians, who deliberately kill as many innocent Israeli citizens as possible because of the Palestinian's Pay to Slay scheme. This is the policy of the Palestinian Authority (PA) which offers large and continuous cash payments and other incentives to individuals who carry out “resistance,” including terrorist acts, inside Israel and the West Bank. These payments to individuals or their families total $300 million a year. In 2010, the PA passed a series of resolutions stipulating that every Palestinian inmate in an Israeli prison who is convicted of a "terrorism-related offense" is to receive a monthly payment. In 2013, the PA's prime minister at the time, Rami Hamdallah, amended the law, offering additional benefits to prisoners upon their release. Palestinian Media Watch, which found that "the PA is diverting the payments through the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), a trick it has used in the past." As AFP reported in June 2020, Abbas ordered his security services to destroy "secret documents, fearing possible Israeli raids on their offices." The Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis noted at the time that the PA might have had the past in mind. An Israeli raid in September 2000 resulted in the seizure of PA and PLO documents which showed that "senior Palestinian Authority officers were actively involved in terrorism, providing logistical and financial assistance" to other terrorist groups. In addition to this, the autobiography of the late Mohammed Oudeh, better known as Abu Daoud, named the current Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas Abbas as one of the three senior officials of Fatah who assisted and funded Daoud in the Munich massacre of 1972, in which members of the Israeli Olympic were murdered by a Palestinian terror organisation.

@@sharonn381 unlike you, I have not called anyone any names. I have said absolutely nothing about Israel. I am of mixed race and I am not a racist. The question I suggest you ask yourself, is why you feel free to try to to bombard me with this slander and this much information in such an aggressive manner?

@@juliegriffiths4272 Because I am sick and tired of people condemning Israel for daring to defend itself from war and terror attacks. Do you think Ukrainians are being unjust for daring to defend themselves against Russian aggression? If not, then don't accuse Israel for being unjust just for defending themselves from the Palestinians.

@@juliegriffiths4272 I have just become aware that Palestine fired thousands of rockets into Israel overnight. No doubt Amnesty International will ignore that but will condemn Israel for defending itself.

@@sharonn381 my heart goes out to all who suffer from the hands of others. I am not the enemy. I have just heard of the attacks bt Hammas, I do not agree with their beliefs or actions. These militants are not all Palistinians either. May peace come for all nations. Peace be with you.
