The Trump administration has decided to cancel all U.S. funding of the United Nations aid program for Palestinian refugees, part of its determination to put its money where its policy is as it seeks a recalculation of U.S. foreign aid spending and prepares its own Israeli-Palestinian peace plan.

In an announcement to be made within the next several weeks, the administration plans to voice its disapproval of the way the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, or UNRWA, spends the funds and to call for a sharp reduction in the number of Palestinians recognized as refugees, dropping it from more than 5 million, including descendants, to fewer than a tenth of that number, or those still alive from when the agency was created seven decades ago, according to officials familiar with the decision.

How can these ‘victims’ murder people?

Good. This should have been done long ago.

Good that Trump is not afraid to do what’s right.

In other words, less money going to corrupt Pali Swiss bank accounts. And less money for tunnels and weapons. Nice move.

Are there more than a handful of ‘refugees’ left? They've got to be far rarer than US service members from WWII as life expectancy is much lower. Give each refugee a mansion in any nation that’ll accept them, call them resettled and move on.

Now as for the population of low to high grade terrorists that many nations have been sponsoring for going on 7 decades now, enough is enough.

So many “Palestinian” bureaucrats right now having a sad about their mortgage in pricey New York enclaves.

Hey, it's a start.

Past time. End all such programs, to all our foreign grifters.

DJT said he was going to go over ‘aid’ given to countries one by one and ditch the ones that aren’t our friends... maybe this is a start..

Where else in the world is a refugee status passed on to the children & grandkids?

I could never understand how Hamas could claim to have thousands of employees as security guards for a small place as the Gaza strip. It simply means that they are fictitiously claiming every able bodied man to be working for them, regardless or not if they actually do anything for Hamas.

[prophetic]

Wow what a blessed relief & contrast! Obama sent over a C-5 military cargo airplane loaded with pallets of $100 bills to our mortal enemy IRAN, VS now Trump is going over the list of every country we send aid to so that our money actually works for us. Thank you God for Mr Trump!!

The title ‘refugee’ is conferred on subsequent generations like a perverse peerage.
