On March 8, 2016, Taylor Force—an Eagle Scout, West Point graduate, veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and native of Lubbock, Texas—was murdered in a knife attack while on a Vanderbilt University trip to Tel Aviv, Israel. His attacker was a Palestinian man who was paid by the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO)—a recognized terrorist organization—to murder innocent civilians. The Palestinian Authority calls it the “Martyrs Fund.” Others who have been harmed by this policy call the incentive program “Pay To Slay.”
Taylor’s killer died, but the killer’s family received financial rewards from the Palestinian Authority Martyrs Fund. Payments generally include a lifelong monthly stipend and pension, free tuition, free health insurance, and a lifelong clothing allowance. Since Palestine receives hundreds of millions of U.S. tax dollars each year as “development aid,” Pay to Slay is essentially being subsidized with U.S. tax dollars. Congress must act to stop this.
UPDATE. CBN’s Faith In Action delivered 23,124 petitions to Senator Bob Corker (R-TN) on December 22, 2017. On March 23, 2019, the Taylor Force Act was added to the 2018 Consolidated Appropriations Act (H.R. 1625). President Trump signed the bill the same day and it became law.
