Opis

A 13-year-old Israeli-American girl was stabbed to death by a Palestinian terrorist while she slept in her bed. Hallel Ariel's murder was only the latest attack in Israel. While the spree of attacks continue, international diplomats plan to push at the United Nations to impose the "parameters" of peace on Israel and the Palestinian Authority. The Palestinian Authority is complicit in inciting violence. Israel is contending with a deep-seated hatred, nurtured by Palestinian leaders over many years in mosques, in schools, in newspapers, nurtured on television, on radio. Palestinians are lured to terrorism with more than just words. Since 2003, it has been Palestinian law to reward Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails with a monthly paycheck-legislation which creates jihad. Under this act, the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian Liberation Organization use a so-called "martyrs' fund" to pay the families of Palestinian prisoners and suicide bombers. One prominent Palestinian says that these inducements have become "sacred in Palestinian politics."
