Backing up the argument: Official PA incitement to terrorism and hate education amongst children continues in schools, on television, in sports and in mosques, often paid for by EU funded PA budgets. Members of Palestinian terror organizations (organizations officially defined as such by the EU) were receiving salaries from the PA government payroll as recently as May 2004. When these terror salaries were finally blocked, the terrorists reacted by refusing to carry out attacks – and talking about it in a completely open way to the press. In so doing, they challenged the PA leadership’s demands for more terror. Members of the PA have openly and proudly acknowledged that these terrorist groups are official components of the PA infrastructure, and they have been promised to be restored to the PA payroll. It was found that 7000 employee names on the PA payroll were fictitious. These were subsequently removed from the PA payroll. ( See background )
