Arab reporter says Palestinians would bring their kids to riots hoping they'd be injured or arrested so they would get paid by the PA

Palestinian Media Watch has a huge scoop.

Mustafa Al-Miqdad, a respected Syrian journalist who works with the British think tank Arab Progress Center for Policies, was interviewed on Palestinian TV this week where he publicly admitted something astonishing: that it is well known that Palestinian parents would bring their children to participate in violent demonstrations in the hope that they would be injured or imprisoned by Israeli forces.

So they could get paid in the PA's "Pay for Slay" program.

Years ago, at the Gaza border, there was friction with the Zionist enemy. There were those who would go out to marches and protests there. There are stories I won't hide from you, that we all know, meaning as families, some would go together with their children, etc., so they would be injured or something would happen to them, so they could later receive the monthly aid or the monthly salary, or even be arrested and imprisoned to receive just what would support their families as a result of this situation, as a result of the existing neediness.

Read that again: Palestinian parents would deliberately put their children in harm's way to make money.

We've seen isolated incidents, like this 2016 episode where a father urged his 3 year old son to throw rocks at IDF soldiers and dared them to shoot and kill the boy.

But no one reported that this was routine behavior.

Some people claim that the PA's "pay for slay" program, where they pay families of "martyrs," prisoners and those injured by Israeli forces, is not a reward for terror, but just a social program. This shows this to be a lie: it is not only a reward, it is an incentive to teach kids to try to murder Israelis.

One detail of this sickening story is perhaps nearly as bad.

Notice also how Al-Miqdad, speaking to a Palestinian TV interviewer, says that "we all know" about families going out to get their kids injured, speaking to a Palestinian audience.

Palestinians know it. Their reporters know it. The NGOs that attend the protests know it. The Palestinian "human rights activists" employed by international NGOs know this.

But no one publishes it.

Even this story has not yet been picked up by any media as of this writing.

I'm sure there are some Palestinian mothers who love their children, who tell them to stay out of trouble. But we never see stories about them, even in Arabic media.

Apparently, Palestinian lives aren't worthless. They are worth an annual salary.
