The Trump peace deal has exposed deep differences among Palestinian Arabs in Israel. My last post exposed the lie about “Palestinians.” The above cartoon from my friend Yaakov Kirschen points out the dilemma facing Arab Palestinians in the West Bank. The Bible calls this area Judea and Samaria. Here is more from a recent article.
The Real Reason Arabs In Israel Do Not Want to Live In ‘Palestine’ – The main reason Arabs in Israel are afraid of becoming Palestinian citizens is because they know that the Palestinian state will be anything but democratic. Many Arab citizens of Israel see how Palestinians living under the Palestinian Authority (PA) in the West Bank and Hamas in the Gaza Strip are subject to human rights violations on a daily basis. In Israel, Arab citizens participate in the general elections and have their own representatives in the Knesset. In the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, Palestinians have been deprived of free and fair elections since January 2006.
President Abbas of the Palestinian Authority is now in the 16th year of his four year term. I’m not kidding. He is 84, in failing health, and has named no successor. He has said he will die before giving up any part of “Palestine” which he says is “from the river to the sea.” This is the chant heard on college campuses around the world. Don’t hold your breath waiting for him to make peace with Israel.
We need to pray for the helpless Palestinian people. They need the Messiah Yeshua as much as the rest of us. God is blessing Israel and will increase favor. The best hope for Palestinians is to be granted Israeli citizenship and to worship Yehovah, God of Israel.
“Thus you shall divide this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel. It shall be that you will divide it by lot as an inheritance for yourselves, and for the strangers who dwell among you and who bear children among you. They shall be to you as native-born among the children of Israel; they shall have an inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel. And it shall be that in whatever tribe the stranger dwells, there you shall give him his inheritance,” says the Lord Yehovah. Ezekiel 47:21-23
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and pray for seasonal rains.

What is “Pay to Slay?”
9 08 2021Million dollar murders, paid by the Palestinian Authority. This is the 20th anniversary of the 2001 Sbarro Pizzeria bombing in central Jerusalem. It was one of the most tragic terrorist attacks during the second Palestinian Intifada (uprising). Over 150 were injured and 15 were murdered, including 7 children and a pregnant woman.
The murderers in Israeli prison are still being paid monthly for their “heroic operation.” The suicide bomber is considered a martyr and to this day his family is being paid monthly for a total (so far) of nearly $70,000.00.
Blood money: The PA has already paid $1,183,257 to the terrorists who blew up the Sbarro pizza shop – Planner of the attack: “If time could go backwards, I would carry out what I did, in the same manner.” By now, the PA has paid Abdullah Barghouti, the terrorist who built the bomb and is responsible for the murder of 67 people in various attacks, a cumulative sum of US$285,571 (921,500 shekels). Every month, the PA pays him a salary of US$2,255 (7,300 shekels). In addition, the PA has paid the family of the suicide bomber US$68,498 (221,400 shekels). Every month the PA continues to pay his family an allowance of US$432 (1,400 shekels). The minimum wage in the PA is 1,450 shekels/month (US$44).
The Lucrative Business of Blowing Up Jews – Figures show Palestinian terrorists involved in 2001 bombing have to date been paid millions. Jerusalem has long complained that one of the main obstacles to peace is the Palestinians’ so-called policy of “pay-for-slay.” In short, the Palestinian Authority offers generous compensation to Palestinians jailed or the families of those killed as a result of attacking Israelis. The money to do this comes primarily from foreign aid.
Zephaniah identifies certain Palestinians, as “Cherethites” or literally: ASSASSINS or EXECUTIONERS! It would seem to be a simple step to understanding this reference as an ancient way of describing the suicide/homicide bombers of today.
After this last days judgement God will allow His people to return to the coastland which not only includes Ashkelon (which Israel now has) but also refers to Gaza. I believe Gaza is soon to be given back to Israel, likely with a final battle after four previous Gaza wars in the last twenty years.
This “pay for slay” system of the Palestinian Authority must stop. We need to pray for righteous leaders who will take a stand against “pay for slay” and stop giving millions of dollars to the corrupt Palestinian Authority.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for seasonal rain in Israel.
