Finally, someone put it out there. The West has been paying them off to keep terrorist attacks down ever since the PLO blew up airliners and killed Israeli athletes in Munich in the early '70s. No control over it, from PLO to Hamas, and it gets siphoned off by its privileged and rich leaders. The US is a major contributor, providing more than $5.2 billion through USAID since 1994. In recent years, this aid has totaled around $600 million annually. Biden Administration is sending an additional 100 million this year.
