In the period 2017- 2018, Australian taxpayers will contribute $43.8 million to the Palestinian Authority. It would be interesting to know how much of that money will go to providing “incentive payments to terrorists”. It would also be interesting to know if the Foreign Minister authorised (or even took notice of) the payment, or merely rubber-stamped an initiative by the reportedly Leftist DFAT machine. It would be even more interesting to know why a single cent of our money is going to Palestinians who are sworn to eradicate our only ally in the Middle East, Israel, which is also the only democratic country in the area.

The PA will be able to increase terror payments from $350 million in 2017 to $403 million in 2018. Last year, 50% of total FOREIGN AID went to terrorists and their families.

The US is preparing to stop all aid to the PA until they stop paying and supporting terrorists. What the hell is wrong with Canberra and, in particular, Foreign Minister Bishop?

Sorry to say but you get a fail on this one, I believe too many people reading will not know what you are talking about.
You fail to give enough details plus maybe examples of what you mean by "incentive payments to terrorists". You as the writer know but not everyone else does.

Take a little more time, add in more details and I am sure you can do much better so everyone reading will understand exactly what you mean.

Just because you don't know what I'm referring to doesn't mean that other people don't keep up with events that don't actually jump up and give them on the bum. You need to do more reading, and try to keep up with events.

It's reported that PA rewards families of terrorists who attack Israel. When confronted on this by the US, the PA said they will not stop. Because of this sitution, the US has made promises (and hopefully acted on those promises) to cut funding to PA. What the funding was meant for verses how it is being used are vastly different, the same sitution exists for any other country that is funding the PA.

Ok all caught up then. Or at least enough info to look it up for a better and more current update.

Trump seems to be one of the very few politicians who does what he says he will do, so US aid will probably be withdrawn if the PA is arrogant enough and stupid enough to continue funding terrorists and their families when said terrorists blow themselves up killing innocent people. The hillbillies ruining (not running) Australia will probably continue being stupid and giving away other people's money that would be much better spent in Australia. Incidentally, these Palestinian terrorists are paid much more than schoolteachers.

Right now I hope he keeps his promises too.

The following link taking from the Department of
Foreign Affairs and Trade explains fully Australia's
aid in the Palestinian Territories.

It's worth a read:

The Australian and other Governments are blind when it comes to money not going where it is supposed too.

While slamming the US decision to cut aid to the Palestinians, the PA has purchased a private jet for Abbas.

By: Margot Dudkevitch, World Israel News

The Palestinian Authority (PA) announced it has purchased a $50 million private jet for its leader, Mahmoud Abbas. The move comes as Palestinians are asking Europe and other countries for financial assistance in the wake of the US decision to slash funds to the PA.

According to reports in the Palestinian media, the jet is due to arrive within a few weeks in Amman, Jordan.

Explaining the purchase, Palestinian officials said that $30 million came from the Palestinian National Fund, and the rest from the PA’s annual budget.

BS the money came from stupid Governments, the PLA do not give a stuff about the average person just themselves (the leaders).

How accountable is Israel with the money it receives
from the United States?

"Criticising Israel is not anti-Semitic and saying so is
vile. But singling out Israel for opprobrium and international
sanction - out of all proportion to any other party in
the Middle East - is anti-Semitic, and not saying so is
dishonest."

(Thomas Friedman. 2002).

Israel shouldn't get one cent from America, Israel is a nuclear nation who is not party to international nuclear treaties, it's actually stealing from US citizens.

But the US is complicated as Presidents rely on Zionist campaign contributions and also have Zionist controlled media and a powerful lobby.

I assume the money is given as part of UN obligations.
Don't care for the UN they are the ones more or less deciding our immigration quotas and stopping us from saying 'not our problem, go back to where you came from'.
