Trump administration to end U.S. funding to U.N. program for Palestinian refugees
WAPO ^ | 8/30/2018 | Karen Deyoung

Posted on 08/30/2018 9:16:25 PM PDT by bitt

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.

If, at the behest of ISIS and (5) other nations sworn to destroy the US,

I renounce my land and my US Citizenship to fight with ISIS against the US,

and ISIS loses...

Tell me about my right of return! Tell me about my “refugee” status!

Now tell me why Israel has to admit, employ, give welfare to and subsidize the population explosion of the “Palestinians.”

There are plenty of Israeli Arabs who are not sworn to destroy Israel.

They do NOT call themselves “Palestinians.”

There is, in fact no such thing as “Palestine,” other than a Roman invention.

It is really amazing how much needs to be done—and undone. It really is a Herculean and Sisyphean task rolled into one.
Like having to roll one humongous ball of horse dung up a hill, over and over.

Kids matter to me. They don’t become a@@holes and killers on their own usually.

If Starving them of funds will make the adults rethink their approach (murder and violence), then I am all for cutting off aid.

Stop teaching the kids hate, build a life, and move the #### on.

You are NOT getting Israel’s land and you are the PAWNS of other arab countries.

Your words, “perverse peerage”

How very well put! May we quote that, with attribution?

I can never delight in seeing children die though I know you can’t either.

But YES, if a child loaded with explosives was coming at me, I would do what would usually be unthinkable, if I was an Israeli soldier.

The chances of the children becoming anything other than America and Israel hating puppets are almost zero and that is heartbreaking and scary.

Partner, thanks for the photo and reminder of how these so called Palestinians were celebrating the murder of innocent American victims.

We will never ever forget 9/11 and the way these Mooselimbs celebrated the murder of innocent victims.

"The Mooselimb religion is not a religion of peace!!!"
