The obvious, petty lies that keep European money flowing into the hands of the PA's terrorists

...The PA, a terrorism-addicted entity with poor survival prospects, will do anything it needs to do to ensure the cash keeps flowing. The lies it tells are small, transparent, not complicated, nowhere near the grandeur of FIFA's cash-soaked fairy tales. But the Europeans want to be duped. They know they are being duped, and they play along. Win, win. Meanwhile the terror they fund keeps relentlessly grinding away, destroying what remains of their society's moral fibre and embittering Israeli lives.

The Mahmoud Abbas PA has been engaging in a clever little trick since last year to hide its practice of taking foreign aid and using it to fund a notorious Palestinian Authority cash-rewards-for-terrorism scheme. The bulk of the money that lets this happen comes from European governments.

Someone must have whispered in those Palestinian Arab ears that the small amount of criticism they were absorbing from critics (like "What the EU Does with Your Money", Douglas Murray, January 14, 2014; and PMW's "Is the PA lying to Western donors?", published last month) for this bare-faced PA misappropriation of European tax-payers' money to pay monthly salaries to convicted murderers could easily be side-stepped.

How? Simple.

By tearing down their Ministry of Prisoners Affairs and overnight (in August 2014) replacing it with a brand-spanking-new, purpose-built entity that has nothing whatsoever to do with the Palestinian Authority. In reality, the switcheroo is bogus and calculated solely to deceive.

At the time, some analysts called it for what it was:

However, what Abu Mazen [meaning Mahmoud Abbas] will not tell donors is that their money is being sent to the PLO, who does use the money to fund terrorism. Abu Mazen hopes by having the money used indirectly instead of directly to fund terrorism, the criticism will die down among donor nations to the Palestinian Authority.

For the most part, that is exactly what happened. The PA wins because their shell-game fraud has gotten almost zero mainstream media coverage outside Israel.
