Do you have PROOF of your statement Max?

Sure.
I hope you know Arabic. Palestinian budget for 2016

If not, you can see the relevant parts addressed in this document -
Palestinian Authority Support for Imprisoned, Released and Wounded Terrorists and Families o f 'Martyrs'

Every year they increase the allocation of funds towards terror rewarding, which now amounts to half the size of the budget of PA Ministry of Health. This makes about 10% of their annual budget.

You can find some specific examples here, but there are numerous more, if you are done with being hand fed.

So basically, they (and/or their families) are being compensated for their time in prison rather than being paid to commit crimes.

The US gives more money in "aid" (read billions of dollars annually) to Israel than all other countries combined. Why is that? Netanyahu himself said that Israel invests that money directly back into US investments to make even more money. They also receive that money in a single lump sum which according to the info I read doesn't happen to any other nation that receives US aid. I'll let you google it and prove me wrong...

Obama signed a 10 year deal in 2014 promising 3.8 billion a year. But this aid is entirely different then any other US aid. It requires Israel to buy from the US and share technology with the US. So not only do they share technology such as Iron dome. But they agree any money we invest in technology they have to spend in US economy. Roughly 1.6 billion in produce the rest in commodities and weapons purchases .So the deal with Israel is a spending package that guarantees access to Israeli technology and locks Israel into US purchases. The other major benefit is it gives US forces access to Israeli military basses as needed and guarantees Israeli support to the US military.

Unlike most aid packages this has benefits for the US economically and militarily. Especially the investments in missile systems Israel is easily the top nation in missile development. The money Israel receives would easily be spent in missile defence programs if the US didn't have a technology agreement.

No they are being compensated for attacking Israelis. Time in prison is irrelevant since if they die in the attempt the family receives money. What isn't spent paying terrorists is spent in Gaza building terrorist-tunnels and missiles. Palestinians have a regime that not only deprived them of most of the international aid but actively suppresses democracy. They refuse to spend money on infrastructure and in fact rely on the good will of Israel to supply food water and electricity.

Can you provide solid proof concerning your statement?

What kind of "solid proof" are you looking for? I already provided the PA annual budget with detailed explanation of the relevant points. Specific examples were also provided.

You can read more about it here - en.wikipedia.org...

Would a statement from Palestinians work for you? Pay to slay has been a known factor. People try to get jailed or killed to provide for their families. You didn't think Palestinians kill for free did you?
