The world is facing the most serious humanitarian catastrophe since the end of World War II. Twenty million people are at risk of starving to death in Yemen, Somalia, Nigeria and South Sudan. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is responding by slamming the door on refugees and cutting aid funding while proposing a massive expansion of the U.S. military.

These are Muslim nations. Why aren't other Muslim nations coming to their rescue? It ain't freaking Trump's fault.

Famine is impossible in the modern world. All modern famine is caused by government.

Where are the governments of Yemen, Somalia, Nigeria and South Sudan? Maybe they should make food not terror.

Amy Goodman is a far-left loon. Like all of her ilk, she uses “crisis” to push her b.s. “Never let a good crisis go to waste” as Rahm and others have said.

Good point. I heard someone say that Islam as a religion is very big on almsgiving; that supposedly giving aid to the poor is a major article of faith.

Christian charities have been active in third world countries for decades delivering aid. What about Moslems???

And its such a non sequitur to say the world needs food aid not more bombs. Its not an either or choice.

No, 20 million need to stop pinching off a dozen kids each. Retards and inbreeds, millions of them.

We can’t invite everyone in the world through our front door. If you want to help, you bring them help. You don’t make them get off their ass and go to you.

“Twenty million people are at risk of starving to death in Yemen, Somalia, Nigeria and South Sudan.”

In summation: Twenty million MOOSELIMBS are starving to death and the other 1.4 billion Mooselimbs are not helping to feed their fellow believers, nor do they give a shite about them.

So, as an evil, white, heterosexual, Christian male, why should I give a f*ck? There are 1.6 Billion Mooselimbs on this planet and they all hate me and want to kill me, stifle and limit my Constitutional rights, but they still expect me to feel pity for them.

No thanks.

FU Mooselimbs.

I’ll save my tears for somebody else.

Assholes.

Next thing you know they’ll start crying about the homeless situation in the USA that got way out of control under obama.

No matter what you do for or to a muslim, at the end of the day, you are still the infidel and he will still hate you.

I agree. The Saudi royal family is probably richer than we are. Let them save the day.

Before they starve to death these people should bring death to their crapola “leaders”. Tough luck. Sacrifices must be made by THEM in THEIR country.

Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain have plenty of cash...they could help out.

Maybe charity isn't an islam thing.

Just how many of the 8 billion people in the world are 100 million US taxpayers responsible for?
