Stop British

Palestinian terror
For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?
2 Corinthians 6:14b
It is Palestinian law to reward terrorists in prison and the families of “martyrs”.
International aid payments, funded by UK tax-payers, incentivises terror against Israel.
Evidence proves the misappropriation of Foreign Aid is having a negative effect on Palestinian poverty levels.
The UK committed $20 million to Palestinian schools that glorify terrorism and poison young minds.
T he UK gives around £70 million a year in
tax-payer money to the Palestinian Authority for humanitarian needs, despite
evidence that it is funding payments to Palestinian terrorists and their families.
Since 2003, it has been Palestinian law to reward Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails with a monthly paycheck. Palestinian leadership also pays the families of Palestinian prisoners and suicide bombers. These policies incentivises terrorism.
Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas has previously said that he would never stop funding terrorists. Why then does the UK and other European nations turn a blind eye?
Abbas’s exact words in 2017 were as follows: “Even if I will have to leave my position, I will not compromise on the salary (rawatib) of a Martyr (Shahid) or a prisoner, as I am the president of the entire Palestinian people, including the prisoners, the Martyrs, the
injured, the expelled, and the uprooted.”
In addition to encouraging terrorism, a study by CUFI UK found that Foreign Aid is more likely to have a detrimental effect on poverty levels in the Palestinian Territories due to evidence of bad governance by the Palestinian leadership. It only fuels further corruption and highlights that the international community is failing to hold the Palestinian Authority to account. Evidence suggests that social reforms have not advanced and that the PA are neither economically sustainable nor making the changes needed to become that way.
Another area funding is being used to incite terrorism is in education. Britain announced earlier in 2019 that it was to donate £125 million to the Palestinian Authority by 2021, more than £20 million of which will go towards the education curriculum.
However, the values promoted by these schools are having a devastating influence
