| Jan 12, 2021 Canadian court: A PLO run organization is criminal, whose single purpose is “incentivising acts of terrorism against Israelis” A Canadian court has found that the PLO Institute for the Care of the Families of the Martyrs and the Wounded (The Institute for the Martyrs/Palestine Martyrs’ Families Foundation) has “ a single purpose… of a criminal nature” and was created with the “ criminal purpose of incentivising acts of terrorism against Israelis.” The Institute for the Martyrs was founded by former PLO leader Yasser Arafat, among other reasons, to give terrorists the security of knowing that their families would be supported should they be killed while attacking Israelis. Today, the PLO is headed by Mahmoud Abbas who has repeatedly expressed his complete support for this institute and its financial support to families of killed terrorists, including families of suicide bombers.
