>lawmakers urge Shouldn't lawmakers, um, make laws? Instead of asking nicely?
What would that law look like exactly? It couldn't single or PayPal and likely shouldn't single or Palestine to be sorry all the time and effort to get it passed.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
You do not believe that there are any Palestinians who might have legitimate uses for PayPal?
Even if there are some who would benefit from this (and they have plenty of others methods), should we make it easier for terrorists to transfer money through Paypal?
The argument you have made also implies that USA should be disconnected from PayPal.

> Palestinian government does pay its citizens if they kill an Israel in a suicide attack I assume Israel dosent provide any survivor benefits for it's soldiers?
And yes, many Israeli children have been killed through such programs.

I wish lawmakers would urge (or force?) PayPal to actually give you a detailed reason when they freeze your account and effectively confiscate your money. I still have hundreds of dollars tied up in the limbo of "your account is frozen but we won't tell you why."
If they suspect fraud, they aren't allowed to tell you about it. They also aren't allowed to give you your money back (incase the money is laundered).
The only way to get your money back is to get a court to order them to give it back. The process is fairly simple - go to a small claims court, and ask the court to order them to give the money back. They won't contest it, they will just return your money and close the account.
That way, if it turns out that it wasn't your money, or you are a terrorist, paypal is no longer liable - they were just doing what the court ordered.

Literally do a web search for any first world country and domestic terrorism and you'll find an instance of it. The argument you have made also implies that USA should be disconnected from PayPal.
I've had absolutely terrible experiences with Palpal. Lawmakers should be urging everyone to use a better service, forget worrying about PayPal's ban. The last straw for me was when they blocked a transaction of a few hundred dollars without any explaination. I was talking to a support rep for well over an hour, repeatedly being told that there is no security team at PayPal that can see why a transaction was blocked…
> I've had absolutely terrible experiences with Palpal. Lawmakers should be urging everyone to use a better service, forget worrying about PayPal's ban. I'd rather have the government enforce something like user-friendly free globally available instant payment and settlement system. Then none of these shady services would be required. Fox example, a version of SWIFT, but instant, free and distributed.

I don't think the U.S. government has the right to force a company to operate in another country.
