Just days after Palestinian children returned back to school, the Trump administration announced it would be cutting all funding to UNRWA — the UN agency responsible for providing life saving services to 5 million Palestinian refugees across the Middle East.
Mondoweiss spoke with some of those affected, who expressed fears of losing essential services like food assistance, jobs, water, and most importantly, education.
This video shows exactly why UNRWA must be eliminated:
UNRWA’s responsility is [to ensure] that Palestinians refugees remain refugees.
There is no secret this was done at the behest of netanyahu.
These cuts are a perfect example of the absolute lack of humanity that zionists have. Not only netanyahu but every single Israel supporter.
Yes target children again why don’t you. You love targetting and even killing children.

Meanwhile:
It is now 70 years since the founding of the entity known as “Israel” with the support of the Truman administration and it is still dependent on America financial aid and geopolitical.
support. In short, it is an utter failure.
For the record:

“Congressional Research Service, U.S. Foreign aid to Israel, Jeremy M. Sharpe, Specialist in Middle East Affairs, April 10, 2018.”
“Israel is the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance since World War II. To date, the United States has provided Israel $134.7 billion (current, or non inflation-adjusted, dollars) in bilateral assistance and missile defense funding. Almost all U.S. bilateral aid to Israel is in the form of military assistance, although in the past Israel also received significant economic assistance. At a signing ceremony at the State Department on September 14, 2016, representatives of the U.S. and Israeli governments signed a new 10-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on military aid covering FY2019 to FY2028. Under the terms of the MOU, the United States pledges to provide $38 billion in military aid ($33 billion in Foreign Military Financing grants plus $5 billion in missile defense appropriations) to Israel. This MOU replaces a previous $30 billion 10-year agreement, which runs through FY2018.”
WAKE UP AMERICA!!! It’s long since time to cut of financial aid and other support for the entity known as “Israel,” an illegal/brutal occupier and a serial violator of international humanitarian law.
This situation reminds me of aggressive panhandling.
It is up to the US to decide how it wants to spend it’s money
And as far as education is concerned, it is wrong education. Stop teaching hatred and learn to co-exist.
Once upon a time in America:
“The United States had actively supported that resolution [194] and was intensely interested in its implementation. As a member of the Conciliation Commission, it would continue to work for a peaceful settlement of all outstanding Palestine issues on the basis of that resolution.” (11 May 1949)
