According to an article run by WorldNetDaily, PLO Arab terrorists work on commission:
Terror organization Hezbollah rewards organizers of suicide bombings with monetary bonuses for each person killed in the attacks, the head of Israel’s parliamentary Defense and Foreign Affairs Committee said today.
According to a Dow Jones Newswire report, Yuval Steinitz says the Lebanon-based group has a pay-by-the-death policy.
Steinitz confirmed that Avi Dichter, head of the Shin Bet security service, testified before the committee today and made the assertion about Hezbollah.
The bonus amounts to several hundred dollars for each individual killed in bombings, Steinitz told the news service.

According to the report, Palestinian militants have said the size of payment is based on the size of the attack, but that there is no fixed scale for victims. The news service says the terrorists normally received tens of thousands of dollars from Hezbollah for individual attacks. Other payments from the group go toward ammunition, cellular phone cards and other expenses.
If their terrorism was indeed caused by desperation, and was aimed at solely achieving statehood, why the monetary bonuses for killing extra people? Sounds to me like the killing of Jews is more the end, rather than the means to the end.
