How UNRWA steals money from those who need it most
UNRWA continues to support 'Palestinian refugees' while all the other refugees in the world suffer.
But an even more basic reason for abolishing UNRWA is the harm it does to the world’s most vulnerable people–real refugees like the Syrians. Were the Palestinians handled by UNHCR like all other refugees are, UNHCR would have the budgetary flexibility to temporarily divert aid from the Palestinians, who need it far less, to people who need it more, like the Syrians today. Instead, it is forced to watch helplessly as Syrian refugees go roofless and hungry while $1 billion in aid is squandered on Palestinians with homes, jobs, and all the comforts of settled life.
Thus, anyone who claims to have a shred of genuine humanitarian concern ought to be agitating for UNRWA’s abolition and the Palestinians’ transfer to UNHCR’s auspices. Unfortunately for the Syrians, it seems that many of the world’s self-proclaimed humanitarians prefer harming Israel to helping those who need it most.Read the whole thing.
Shabbat Shalom everyone.

Yes. We tell the world every one is equal and every religion and G-d equally valid and correct and true. We give religious equality and cultural tolerance to those who target everyone who is not one of their own. We force the world to give human rights to those who deny it to their women and their own children. To those who place bombs on their babies and send them forward into innocent crowds to kill, we give compassion and mercy.
