The U.N. agency that serves Palestinian refugees and their descendants said Wednesday it would launch a global fundraising appeal in hopes of making up for funding cuts announced by the United States.
The Trump administration on Tuesday suspended $65 million for UNRWA, demanding it undertake a “fundamental re-examination.”
The U.S. provides roughly one-third of UNRWA’s budget, and the agency has warned that it now faces the “most dramatic financial crisis” in its nearly 70-year history. The agency provides health care, education and social services to 5 million Palestinians across the Middle East.

If I still smoked, I could help out them with donations. Unfortunately, since I quit smoking over 20 years ago, I’ve got no cigarette butt to donate to them. Belly button lint? I could offer them that, for a donation.

Remember all the cement purchases for lining tunnels.
Refugees!!!

After they destroyed all the greenhouses and food production facilities when they were given the Gaza Strip, they need a harsh lesson from Mother Nature.
Jordan.....remember, they kicked their asses out decades ago.

The Israelis left them millions of dollars worth of food production facilities.
They trashed them and destroyed them utterly, within minutes.
Then, they used the water pipes they found to fabricate Kassem rockets they fired back into Israel.

Well that’s just too bad.
I am sure they will find plenty of liberals to donate to the PaliSimians
Ooooh...big bad Jordan...and this is Israel's fault...how?
We need to pull the plug on Jordan until they take them back. They can enslave them for all I care.
they should send them back for another “black monday”
Have they tried Soros, Buffett, the Clinton Global Crime Initiative Foundation, Jobs, Cuban, etc.?
70 years a refugee.
Almost twice as long as the Israelites wandered in the desert.
Couldn’t they just hold a bake sale?
Trump should order IRS to not allow donations to the Palis to be deductible.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

The UN has condemned Israel in more resolutions from the Human Rights Council than the rest of the world combined. There are 192 other countries in the UN who can donate. They can finance those who make those resolutions possible. And for their fans, UNRWA accepts donations, and a quick search shows 874 accounts under palestinian, 435 for Gaza, and 2149 for West Bank. Plenty of ways to give
The only thing they deserve is the judgement of God.
