U.S. aid paying salaries of jailed terrorists in Israel?

A House subcommittee proposed giving $513 million in aid to the Palestinian Authority (after voting to give more than $3 Billion to Israel). But not to worry: the aid comes with lots of "conditions."

One of these is that by U.S. law, our dollars can't be paid to any person who “engages in, or has engaged in terrorist activity."

Now, I don't think we're in a position to be giving our borrowed dollars to *anyone,* but I'm especially leery of the P.A.

Reason: In April of this year the PA passed a law--signed and published in the official Palestinian Authority Registry--that puts all Palestinians and Israeli Arabs imprisoned in Israel for terror crimes on the PA payroll to receive a monthly salary from the PA.

Hmmm. I'm seeing sort of a communications problem here.
