(Israelnationalnews.com) The State of Israel continues to pay for the higher education of Arab terrorist prisoners, an advertisement by the “Prisoners' Club” in Ramallah shows.

The advertisement gave notice that 100 prisoners from the Rimon jail are enrolled at Hebrew University as foreign students. It also said that three prisoners had received Masters' Degrees.

"Giving the prisoners an education is an important step, and the heads of the [terror] organizations in the jails encourage the inmates to join the studies at Hebrew University", imprisoned terrorist Jamal Rajoub said.

Rajoub added that the prisons also give prisoners courses in “general education.”

Israel's Prisons Authority has a long-standing policy of accommodating prisoners' demands in order to avoid riots and strikes, which can only be quelled violently. The Prisons Authority has stated that it is not sure it would receive the backing of the political and legal system if such actions would be necessary.
