Not quite right. He paid money to the families of Palestinians who were
killed by Israelis, some of who were suicide bombers. The families of the
suicide bombers received $25,000, the others $10,000. It should be
pointed out that Iraq was/is still at war with Israel, as is, technically,
Syria and Lebanon.

That sounds to me like a $15,000 premium was paid for suicide bomb
attacks...which means he "openly paid suicide bombers in Israel".

You're splitting hairs by saying "it was paid to the family". Well,
duhhhhhhhh!
