The Biden administration was applauded Thursday by the U.N. agency for so-called Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, after it offered $250 million in funding while sidestepping a 2018 law that prevents U.S. taxpayer dollars from supporting the Palestinian Authority.

“UNRWA could not be more pleased that once again we will partner with the United States to provide critical assistance to some of the most vulnerable refugees across the Middle East,” the agency’s commissioner general, Philippe Lazzarini, said in a statement seen by AFP.

“The U.S. contribution comes at a critical moment, as we continue to adjust to the challenges the Covid-19 pandemic presents.”

As Breitbart News reported, the State Department’s announcement of the funding flow confirmed weeks of speculation about a “quiet” effort to restart finance for the Palestinians — even as the American public struggles during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic:

Financing terrorism and assuring that the Palestinians will never have any incentive to make peace. I have come to the conclusion that this behavior from Biden has to intend the foreseeable consequences; incompetence is no longer a viable explanation.

You have to give the devil its due. The Left is able to monetize any type of human suffering and turn it into a money laundering operation.

As shown in the past, this money will literally fund the murder of Jews as the Palis routinely pay terrorist and/or their families generous pensions for each attack.

Joe Biden will have yet more blood on his hands.

Yeah but most money here doesn’t get to the needy, either.

Too many rich and connected set up foundations that spreads the money amongst themselves often with little of that money trickling down to the needy.

$250 million to spend on assault rockets to fire at Israeli civilians, to supply ammunition to their snipers and explosives to blow holes in the fence for infiltrators.
