Rice seeks pension for ?retired? terrorists



By Jerusalem Newswire Editorial Staff

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is looking for fresh alternatives to get the Palestinian Arab terrorists to stop killing Israeli Jews, including paying them to go into “retirement.”

Rice arrived in Israel Sunday for talks with Israeli and PA leaders, following a brief visit to Europe and Turkey.

According to Ynet, the New York Times reported last week that during her stopover in Europe Rice would ask the EU to provide finances for a special pension fund.

That fund would then be used to pay $100 a month to any “Palestinian” terrorist who willingly laid down his arms and promised not to kill any more Jews.

According to the terms of the US-backed Road Map, the PA is obligated to “disarm” and “dismantle” all terror groups and arrest their members.

PA leader Mahmoud Abbas has repeatedly refused to take these steps, and has instead brokered a temporary halt to anti-Jewish terrorist attacks, while leaving the terrorist infrastructure intact.
