"Given the long, trusted, and historic relationship between the United States and UNRWA, this reduced contribution threatens one of the most successful and innovative human development endeavors in the Middle East," said UNRWA Commissioner-General Pierre Krahenbuhl in a statement.

The UN itself is a source of instability there and elsewhere.

Well things couldn’t get that much worse other than the terrorists may be a little thinner and have to use smaller explosive vests and the relatives of the jihadists may have to cut back on the caviar and wine celebrations.

UNRWA is a huge employment agency for Palestinians. Generations of families are embedded in there doing useless nothing work. This is why the Paleos don’t want UNWAR funding cut.

And the real crapititude is that UNWAR is run by Palestinians and employs only Palestinians doing useless make work jobs. It is a pretend UN agency. UNWAR has a few Euro-retards at the top but is basically all Palestinian owned and operated.

Stability? Nonsense. The only thing threatening “stability” is the false religion named Islam and its phony practitioners and phony Palestinians which are nothing more than southern Syrian Arabs going by another name. Stop the lies.

Think of the UN as DEMOrats International. Their ONLY FUNCTION is to stir the pot of racism and general inter-group hatred, and to do it with our money. Trump should just be throttling our funding on the UN itself and all it’s stepchildren “agencies.”

Stupid logic. How many times have we been told is is peace?

... the steady UN cash flow for corruption.
The corrupt s-ole muslims need their easy flow of USD to maintain the stability of lifestyles to which they have become accustomed.
