Have you got anything you can point me to with information about this? See, if there is a 'bonus' with a bit of a 'Good job!' slap on the back for anyone who successfully kills Israelis, that's really bad. If there's any payments that are above and beyond that which a dependent would get if their spouse or parent dies or is in an Israeli prison, then that's also bad.

I'm the first to admit I'm shit with numbers, so I may need some help with this one. I read that Israel has reduced the tax revenue they transfer to the PA by a percentage and it was calculated on how much the PA is paying out in these benefits. The thing is if Israel is withholding it based on bonus payments for Israelis being killed, then there would have had to have been a hell of a lot more Israelis who've been killed for it to be set at that level.
