Should we lobby for #Israel stop paying war widows pensions?

Not a serious suggestion, because the idea is insane, yet for some reason it's taken seriously in the other direction..

there is an older Israeli scheme wit a near identical name too https://www.btl.gov.il/English%20Homepage/Benefits/Benefits%20for%20Prisoners%20of%20Zion%20and%20Families%20of%20Martyrs/Pages/default.aspx but that's for those killed or imprisoned outside Israel

"Hebrew media says Ramallah’s ‘pay-to-slay’ stipends to terrorists ongoing despite Abbas’s decree canceling them" … by which they mean "Netanyahu demands the PA cut off welfare payments to war orphans". The IDF "slay" far more people, but I still wouldn't want you to cut off benefits to their widows and orphans. https://www.timesofisrael.com/hamas-said-to-agree-to-cede-gaza-governance-to-pa-netanyahu-not-going-to-happen/ #TimesOfIsrael

#Today I was in a news story about environmental #compensation policy and I didn’t hold back my true feelings about it. People in #ontario are upset about the #greenbelt land “swap” but I hope they can recognize that it is just one example of how forthcoming habitat #compensation and #restoration schemes will drain our natural assets in a #paytoslay faustian bargain.
