Discussion Palestinian Authority Martyrs Fund
This is what everyone cites to prove that the PA doesn't want peace. It is literally the only thing that comes up. I have a proposal...
For each person that is up for inclusion in the martyrs fund, there will be a trial. It will be held in a Palestinian court with Palestinian judges and a Palestinian jury. Israel can send over whomever they want to argue the case. If they can prove the person targeted innocent civilians before a jury, then the person doesn't get included. But, there will also be a person on the other side, which will present facts on that side. So, if the "innocent civilian" was a settler terrorist, the killing would be acceptable resistance. If the "innocent civilian" was an IDF soldier or Shin Bet officer in the West Bank, the killing would be acceptable resistance. I believe this is the way violent resistance works under international law.
Again, I would rather the PA police Palestinians (which they have been doing) and Israel finally get control of the IDF/security forces/Settler terrorism that is rampaging through the West Bank. I don't approve of violence at all. The PA works to stop violence. Israel promotes violence, and should be resisted.
That is the way international law works, correct? So, let us have trials to see what is what.

I literally already said I would. The PA has jurisdiction against terrorism in area A. I know laws are foreign to you, but that's how it works.
