#’Pay to slay’ is the true face of the ‘peace process’ for Israelis and Palestinians

This week brought the 20th anniversary of the Sbarro pizza-shop bombing in Jerusalem. Over those two decades, the Palestinian Authority’s “pay to slay” program has paid the seven terrorists who helped orchestrate the atrocity nearly $2 million. Meanwhile, Interpol has dropped its red notice warrant for terror attack mastermind Ahlam Tamimi, who remains at large.

On Aug. 9, 2001, suicide bomber Izz al-Din al-Masri nonchalantly ate a slice of pizza before blowing himself up, murdering 15 people — seven of them children, including US citizen Malki Roth — and wounding about 130 others. In the decades since, the PA has paid more than $53,000 to his family. The bomb maker, Abdullah Barghouti, has pocketed more than $213,000, while Tamimi has taken in $52,000.

Tamimi has been living in Jordan since Israel freed her in a 2011 prisoner swap, despite a US warrant (which the Jordanians refuse to honor) and a $5 million bounty on her head.

Meanwhile, President Joe Biden has been OKing new funding for the Palestinian territories, effectively subsidizing the PA’s pay-to-slay program. That’s the true face of the “peace process.”
