President Bush authorized the funds in response to UNRWA's emergency appeal for $193 million to fund food, shelter, health, and other humanitarian needs of over 1.5 million Palestinian refugees.

Food and shelter for terrorists and their activities.

It's a war on terrorism.

The United States is the largest bilateral donor to UNRWA. We encourage other donors to contribute urgently to this emergency appeal.

The State Department has been authorized to use $20 million to assist Palestinian refugees

That's $20,000,000 of OUR tax dollars hard at work!

[NewRomeTacitus]

What's worse, they KNOW this is money wasted. Let Arafat pay for their needs, he's raked off far more than $20 million.

Aaargh!

Palestinians, the homless beggars on the world's street corners.

Is charity their only source of income as a people?

What industry do they have besides bomb-making?

[TheBattman]

Food and shelter? Not - it's just more $ for bomb making materials and other weapons. If we supply food and medicine, that just fees up there other resources for buying weapons.

Either way, our $$ will help their terrorist activities. No thanks - why don't they beg from their Arab/Muslim buddies? Oh, yeah - they can't stand them either. The only money flowing from those thugs to the Palis is reward money for the murderer's families.

We are, once again, financing both sides of a war.
