[Ambass.] Gilad Arden ^ | Apr 18, 2024
How is it possible that in 1949 there were about half a million Palestinian refugees and today (according to UNRWA’s distorted definition) there are about 5.6 million?? What other refugee group has a UN body whose purpose is to ensure that the refugees maintain their status? I asked the ambassadors: How can you be a refugee from Palestine when you live in a Palestinian city? Don't you see the paradox?

Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday announced the deployment of more than 250 personnel to the southern coast of Florida ahead of an expected surge in illegal arrivals from Haiti. The Haitian government has largely collapsed and the nation is facing rampant gang warfare. Earlier this month, gangs stormed prisons and freed roughly 3,700 inmates, leading to a chaotic uptick in gang violence and the resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry. The U.S. has urged its citizens to leave.

Border agents in Miami have been told to prepare for a wave of migration from Haiti following the takeover of the country by bloodthirsty gangs, The Post has learned. An internal agency email leaked to The Post pointed out it is unlikely Haitians who take to the sea and enter Florida illegally will be repatriated back to their home country, given its instability. The message also warned that one vessel of migrants landing would overwhelm agency capabilities in the area. “One landing will cripple the station and our ability to respond to other traffic,” the email to agents read. Roughly...

The federal government won an 8.7 percent profit of $37.5 billion from the resident population of 2.9 million refugees and asylum seekers in the 15 years before 2020, says a celebratory report by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The report also notes that the imported refugees also inflicted a 7.3 percent loss of $21.4 billion on the taxpayers who fund state and local governments. The report calculated the costs by comparing the $739 billion in taxes paid by migrants and their families to their $723.4 billion in government aid.

Last week the RAIR Foundation published an article by Amy Mek, which opened with this: In a chilling new report by Sveriges Radio, it has come to light that the Islamic Iranian regime allegedly orchestrated a plot to target and kill Jews in Sweden. The clandestine operation reportedly involved two Iranian secret agents tasked with mapping and planning the murders of several individuals, with their primary targets being Swedish Jews, including Aron Verständig, chairman of the Jewish Central Council. The “disturbing saga” began in 2021, when law enforcement arrested a Stockholm-based “refugee” Muslim couple, Mahdi Ramezani and Fereshteh Sanaeifarid, who...
 

UNRWA, the Greatest Welfare Scam Ever-The “Palestinian refugees” are neither Palestinian nor refugees

Frontpagemagazine ^ | February 9, 2024 | Sha'i Ben Tekoa
The Israeli Army in the Gaza Strip slaying thousands of Muslim Brotherhood brothers (Hamas) came upon evidence of UNRWA employees participating in the satanic events of October 7, which should not surprise because UNRWA has been a major player in the antisemitic fantasy of a “Palestinian people” whose homeland was allegedly stolen from them by the Jews, the lie that justifies the very existence of UNRWA in support of the “victims of Zionism.”UNRWA’s brief for 75 years has been supporting millions of “Palestinian refugees” when, truth be told, there is nothing Palestinian about these people. And neither are they refugees.The...

Thousands of James Madison High School students are kicked out of their NYC building to make room for 2,000 migrants evacuated from Floyd Bennett Field due to storm threat. New York City kicked students out of a Brooklyn high school in order to relocate nearly 2,000 migrants housed at Floyd Bennett Field ahead of a potentially damaging storm. Republican Councilwoman Inna Vernikov posted video of the migrants entering James Madison High School without having to scan their faces the way students typically do. 'A lot of law enforcement and other agency resources have been poured into this situation tonight. Also,...

Penn Live ^ | Jan. 04, 2024 | Donald Brown
A Sept. 4th New York Times article claimed that migrants on the Texas border were dying from the effects of climate change. The story said extreme temperatures contributed to the deaths of 10 people, with another 45 people forced to flee. The story did not say how many others have become refugees due to climate change, but it’s time for the world to identify them... The term “refugees” should apply to all people displaced due to climate change. But under international law, a refugee is a person who has crossed an international border and claims he or she can’t return...
 

Activists Call for More Refugees to Resettle in Minnesota Even as Many End Up on Welfare

Activists are calling for even more refugees and migrants to be brought to Minnesota to settle there, even as millions of illegal aliens continue to pour across the border filling the welfare rolls. More than 1,500 refugees were brought to the Gopher State in 2023, triple the number sent to the state by federal officials in 2022. And that is up from the 258 sent in 2021, the Star Tribune reported. The number of refugees was lower during the President Donald Trump era, the paper says, but this year, 443 came from Somalia, while other groups came from the Congo...

Former British prime minister Tony Blair is reportedly being tapped as the head of an Israeli initiative seeking to encourage other countries to take in Palestinians fleeing Israel’s bombardment of the Gaza Strip, according to Israel’s Channel 12 news. Channel 12, without citing a source, has reported that Blair recently met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Benny Gantz to go over the possibility of the former British leader taking charge of where Palestinian refugees from Gaza could be relocated. Journalist Barak Ravid, in a post to X, said that Blair's office had denied the reports. "Reports that...

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he wants Western countries to “absorb” the Palestinian refugees Israel displaced during its assault on Gaza. Netanyahu made the remarks during a meeting of his Likud party on Monday. “Our problem is countries that are ready to absorb them and we are working on it,” Netanyahu said. “The world is already discussing the possibilities of voluntary immigration,” he said, adding that a team must be established to “ensure that those who want to leave Gaza to a third country can do so.” “It needs to be settled. It has strategic importance for the day...

According to Germany's largest daily newspaper, Bild, Russia has established a new airline in Turkey. The intention is to organize a stream of refugees to Europe through the NATO country, thereby causing chaos on the continent. As early as today, December 23, the first airplane is supposed to have taken off. "Polish security authorities explicitly warn of a 'new, organized rush of refugees via Russia and Belarus'," the German newspaper reports. One of the airlines identified in the operation is the Turkish Southwind. Yesterday, Friday, Belarusian authorities also announced that the company will start flying between the major cities in...

Citizen Watch Report ^ | Chris Black
If anyone actually cared about these Africans, the last thing they’d do is bring them over to the most expensive and overcrowded cities on earth, where every single item and service costs more than almost anywhere else, and instead try to help them where they are, or as close as possible to where they are. You could build a proper brick and mortar house for every official refugee (real or not) on earth with just the money Germany spent on housing them in the past couple of years.

The U.N. is trash. This is obvious to anyone who pays even mild attention to the issue. While the U.N. has seemed to be a useful organization in the past (maybe), we can’t recall any time in our adult life where the U.N. has shown itself to be useful or, indeed, anything but a craven club for dictators. With that context in mind, the UNRWA is big mad that someone has called them out for it. UNRWA is the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees in the Near East, and they got very foot stompy on Twitter/X...

The pastoral center of Christ the King Cathedral in Loikaw, Myanmar, was bombed on Nov. 26 and occupied by the Burmese military the next day, according to reporting by Agenzia Fides, the news arm of Pontifical Mission Societies. Though no one was killed in the bombing, the pastoral center’s ceiling collapsed and Bishop Celso Ba Shwe and the 80 refugees taking shelter in the church were forced to flee, per the Hong Kong Catholic news service UCA News. Shwe said in a statement published by Agenzia Fides that “the Burmese army tried to take the Christ the King Cathedral complex...
 

Cal basketball star Fardaws Aimaq confronts fan 'after being called a ''terrorist'' during loss to UTEP': Bears coach Mark Madsen blasts 'abhorrent and offensive comments' aimed at Canadian-born son of Afghan refugees

California Golden Bears senior center Fardaws Aimaq was seen confronting a fan following Monday's SoCal Challenge tournament game, but only after he was allegedly on the receiving end of racial verbal abuse. The incident took place after Cal's last-second defeat to UTEP in San Juan Capistrano, California. Aimaq was seen walking into the crowd, where he got into a heated confrontation with the fan. 'You wanna talk? You wanna talk?' Aimaq asked before sticking his finger in the significantly smaller man's face. Someone is then heard telling Aimaq: 'Grow up, dude. That's why you lose.' But on Wednesday, Cal coach...

Pekka Kallioniemi, a postdoctoral researcher at Tampere University in Finland, put forward the theory that Moscow could be deliberately pushing Helsinki to shut its borders to prevent Russians from fleeing should Russian President Vladimir Putin introduce a full-scale mobilization to draft more troops to fight in Ukraine.... "There is an interesting and feasible theory, that Russia will start partial or full mobilization after the March 2024 presidential elections, and that they actually WANT Finland to close the border so that young Russian men can't flee through Finland like they did during the first mobilization wave," Kallioniemi wrote on X, formerly...

The current war between Israel and Hamas has not only raised questions about the conflict itself but also about the history and politics behind it. One of the more pressing questions concerns the plight of the Palestinian refugees and their descendants, and it is a question that has been asked since the crisis began after Israel’s War of Independence in 1948.The question is: Why haven’t Arab nations taken in Palestinian refugees and assimilated them into their own societies?It would make sense, wouldn’t it? The easiest way for the entities claiming to care about Palestinians to ease their burdens would be...

In a jointly penned opinion piece published in The Wall Street Journal, two Israeli Members of Knesset recently urged Western nations to welcome Palestinian refugees from Gaza amid the Israel-Hamas war. Israeli Knesset Member Danny Danon of the Likud party and opposition lawmaker, Knesset Member Ram Ben-Barak from the centrist Yesh Atid party stressed that the Hamas terrorist organization is ultimately responsible for civilian casualties and suffering among both Gazan residents and Israelis... “Hamas’s unprovoked terrorist attack on Oct. 7 has endangered not only Israel but the more than two million people who live in the Gaza Strip.

Hamas’s unprovoked terrorist attack on Oct. 7 has endangered not only Israel but the more than two million people who live in the Gaza Strip. Although Hamas won 2006 elections in Gaza and took control of the area from the Palestinian Authority the following year, the group has said that it bears no responsibility for the people living there.
