Iran’s new cash-incentive plan for “martyrs” who strike in Jerusalem is proof the Islamic Republic intends to spend billions reaped in the recent nuclear deal on terrorism, Israeli officials told FoxNews.com Thursday.
Already identified as the world’s top state sponsor of terrorism, Iran will now pay the equivalent of $7,000 "to every family of a martyr of the intifada in Jerusalem,” Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon said Wednesday at a news conference in Beirut. What’s more, Tehran will pay $30,000 to the family of any terrorist whose home gets bulldozed by Israel, a tactic the Jewish state has employed in the West Bank to deter attacks.
“This demonstrates again Iran’s role in encouraging terror,” Emmanuel Nahshon, spokesman for Israel’s Foreign Ministry told FoxNews.com. “Following the nuclear agreement, Iran continues being a major player in international terror."
The Iranian diplomat, Mohammad Fathali, giddily unveiled the new scheme to benefit the families of terrorists involved in the ongoing uprising in Jerusalem, which began on Sept. 13, 2015. So far, 32 Israelis and one Palestinian have been murdered, and 357 people injured. The latest figures issued by Israel show 188 stabbings, 75 shootings and 39 vehicle attacks. More than 160 Palestinians have been killed during the same period by Israeli security forces and armed members of the Israeli public, with most reportedly shot while carrying out attacks.
Attacks by Palestinians on Israeli civilians and military personnel continue to take place on a near-daily basis, and with no condemnation from either the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority or the Hamas government in Gaza. On the contrary, attackers are routinely referred to as “martyrs” in Palestinian state media, and many have had streets and public buildings named in their honor.

SP5 Mark Kuzinski This is interesting. It's interesting because, the title uses the word "new", I'm sorry but that was the first thing that caught my attention. The truth is that the families of "martyrs" have been receiving cash and other items from varying sources for many years. For example, Saddam Hussein made public events out of handing out checks to the families of suicide bombers, while the member would stand on stage and say things about the martyr such as "I am proud of him, may God reward him". During one, two year period, Iraq paid more than $10 million to Palestinian families. Iraq under Saddam, paid martyrs according to a well known scale "Families of suicide bombers get $25,000 each and families of those killed in confrontations with Israel get $10,000. Those who's houses are destroyed by the Israeli military get $5,000 and those wounded by Israelis get $1,000." These amounts are considerable especially in the Palestinian territories.
Iraq's payments were not the only ones going to suicide bombers. Funds are also channeled through the charities to them. Dozen's of Middle East charities have links to insurgent groups and are paying the families of those they consider to be "martyrs".
Homes of suicide bombers are clearly marked by banners and signs displaying the "glory" of the "martyrs". It has become a cultural status symbol to have a family member who is a "martyr".
This is a solicitation for murder sceme and it's not new, to the region.
Iran is cashing in on the desperation of poor people who see no way out to fund their campaign against those the state of Iran sees as a threat.
