The Palestinian leadership pay criminals in jail
You mean the RightWing extremist Likud falsely claims that "The Palestinian leadership pay criminals in jail". Actually, the Palestinian government pays FAMILIES of those in Israeli prison for fighting back against Israel's Illegal Military Occupation.
It's called Pay to Slay
By the RightWing extremist Likud. Consider the source.
the PA pays out a couple 100 million a year to terrorists
Sorry, but fighting back against Illegal Military Occupation is not terrorism.
The 'Geneva Declaration on Terrorism', which the U.S. is a signatory to, states:
As repeatedly recognized by the United Nations General Assembly, peoples who are fighting against colonial domination and alien occupation and against racist regimes in the exercise of their right of self-determination have the right to use force to accomplish their objectives within the framework of international humanitarian law. Such lawful uses of force must not be confused with acts of international terrorism.
A little more discretion might be useful to you.
