U.S. Cuts More Than $200 Million in Aid to Palestinians

The Trump administration announced Friday that it is cutting more than $200 million in aid to the Palestinians, following a review, commissioned by President Trump, of U.S. assistance projects in Gaza and West Bank.

"At the direction of President Trump, we have undertaken a review of U.S. assistance to the Palestinian Authority and in the West Bank and Gaza to ensure these funds are spent in accordance with U.S. national interests and provide value to the U.S. taxpayer," a State Department official said in a statement to reporters. "As a result of that review, at the direction of the president, we will redirect more than $200 million ... originally planned for programs in the West Bank and Gaza."

"This decision takes into account the challenges the international community faces in providing assistance in Gaza, where Hamas control endangers the lives of Gaza's citizens and degrades an already dire humanitarian and economic situation," the official added.

The funds will "now address high-priority projects elsewhere,” according to the State Department.

The State Department did not specify the exact amount of funding that would be cut.

"The announcement does not include some $65 million in frozen U.S. funding for the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, which provides services to Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza, Jordan and Lebanon," The Associated Press reports. "However, the Trump administration is extremely skeptical of UNRWA and that money is also likely to be reprogrammed, according to officials."

Trump is a businessman and expects a return on investment

Why the worthless, thieving, dysfunctional world political system is in panic mode.

What's not to love?

Trump / aka Hitler (/sarcasm off) just keeps delivering for the Jews!

Amazing, isn't it? People really *can't* discern the difference between cursed be Haman and blessed be Mordecai.

"3. "Between 'cursed is Haman' and 'blessed is Mordechai'" -- this occurs when we rise above the level of smell and hearing, and have a clear view from above. When we rise above the root of evil and perceive the Divine plan in its entirety, then there is no longer any difference between Haman's curse and Mordechai's blessing -- both are part of God's plan for human history. (Note that "arur Haman" - cursed is Haman, and "baruch Mordechai" - blessed is Mordechai, have the same gematria: 502.) This is why God wipes out Amalek's memory from under the heavens (in the verse cited above) -- because above the heavens there is no need for this."

We know that Purim was the first Jewish holiday celebrated in the Torah because it was Rivka who made the very first Purim costume. Can you imagine that scene? Jacob didn't want to dress up, but she insisted. And being a good boy he obeyed his mother.

Genesis 27:15 And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:

Who can tell who is who these days? Isaac was certainly confused. Trump/Hitler; Mordecai/Haman; Jacob/Esav.

Just like in the verse, check it out:

"Esav her eldest son" (475) + "Jacob her younger son" (403) = 878 = Mashiach spelled out:

mem shin yud chet 80 + 360 + 20 + 418 = 878

It's like what Rabbi Mendel Kessin says about the Messianic Light. It would be like dropping a man from 4000 years ago (IOW, a simple unsophisticated man) onto Fifth Avenue.

Well gee what's the shock it's already happened. NYC is Jacob [the plain man] + Esav [the business man] central. "Saks" Fifth Avenue is at address 611. And what else...

"Trump Tower is a 58-story, 664-foot-high (202 m) mixed-use skyscraper at 721–725 Fifth Avenue between 56th and 57th Streets in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Trump Tower serves as the headquarters for The Trump Organization. Additionally, it houses the penthouse condominium residence of the building's namesake and developer, U.S. President Donald Trump, who was a businessman and real estate developer when the tower was developed. "

All that corn being grown for ethanol? Scratch that, we're going to need it for popcorn.

Genesis 41:49 And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.

When we rise above the root of evil and perceive the Divine plan in its entirety... Trump Tower is a 58 (חן, נח) -story, mixed-use skyscraper.
