Amnesty has never condemned "pay for slay." HRW almost did once - 23 years ago.

Human Rights Watch issued a report condemning Palestinian suicide bombings during the height of the second intifada in November 2002.  HRW created a bizarrely high bar for evidence of PA payments to terrorists, essentially discounting anything less than a signed letter from Arafat authorizing such payments directly to someone he provably knew was a murderer. 

Even so, HRW was clear: "Under international law, those who assist, aid, or abet crimes against humanity are individually responsible for the resulting crimes."

But that was the last time the supposed human rights organization addressed the issue. Even after 2004, when the PA officially the Palestinian Authority Martyrs' Fund, HRW did not say a word.

That's over 23 years since HRW even mentioned it.

But even that is infinitely better than Amnesty International. Amnesty has never written a word about "pay for slay." 

While both groups are keen to condemn any evidence of money that might help Israel fight Hamas, or might help a Jew live in Judea, when it comes to direct financial incentives to murder Jews, these "human rights organizations" are completely silent. 

Palestinian Media Watch has proven just this week that the Palestinian Authority has never stopped pay for slay, even as they have insistred that they no longer do that.
Recipients of Palestinian Authority terror stipends residing in Jordan reported over the last three hours that their monthly payments had been deposited into their bank accounts. According to multiple firsthand accounts, the sums transferred were identical to those received previously, suggesting that the payment scale remains unchanged. Reports further indicate that dozens of transfers were processed through recognized banking institutions.
As bad as these NGOs are in what they say and their obsessive hate for Israel, often the real story is what they choose not to condemn. And the biggest incentive for Palestinians to attack Jewish civilians does not merit a negative word from HRW and Amnesty.

They must not think that Jews should have any human rights.
