Israel-Palestine Mega Fact Check!

CLAIM: The Palestinian Authority Martyr’s Fund pays Palestinians in direct proportion to their kill count and prison sentences.

RATING: Mixed

The Palestinian Authority Martyr’s Fund does provide funding for those who are killed or injured by Israeli soldiers or settlers, as well as a stipend for those incarcerated by Israel.

Not all those who are killed or injured are militants or committed acts of terror. Any civilian killed by the IDF, such as during a demonstration, will qualify for the Martyr’s Fund.

Not all who are incarcerated and receive a stipend are militants or committed acts of terror. But it does appear that those who are imprisoned for violence or struggle against Israel receive larger stipends than those imprisoned for other offences.

Those who receive longer sentences also receive a larger stipend, and longer sentences may correlate with more violent crimes. That said, there is no evidence that any of these payments are calculated based on the number of people killed.

One reply on “Israel-Palestine Mega Fact Check!”

Keep trying to invent history. The palis didn’t exist until the mid 1960s.
One other fun fact – every group, every political organization, and every government that has ever tried to destroy the Jews has been destroyed. Fun fact #2 Israel has never been stronger.
