U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered that $25 million earmarked for the care of Palestinians in East Jerusalem hospitals be directed elsewhere as part of a review of aid, a State Department official said on Saturday.

Trump called for a review of U.S. assistance to the Palestinians earlier this year to ensure that the funds were being spent in accordance with national interests and were providing value to taxpayers.

“As a result of that review, at the direction of the President, we will be redirecting approximately $25 million originally planned for the East Jerusalem Hospital Network,” the State Department official said. “Those funds will go to high-priority projects elsewhere.” […]

A statement from the Palestinian Foreign Ministry said the latest aid cut was part of a U.S. attempt “to liquidate the Palestinian cause” and said it would threaten the lives of thousands of Palestinians and the livelihoods of thousands of hospital employees. …

They want us and the Israeli’s dead! Why should we spend a nickel to keep any of them alive? “Keep Us Alive, So We Can Kill YOU!” He should announce that the funds wili now go to Israeli Hospitals

By doing this Trump is killing little Palestinian children and the elderly.

Now when you see the headline you can skip the article.

Our money, we can do whatever we want to do with it. Palestinians have been biting the hands that feed them, mostly biting our hands. Nasty talk from them, no more handouts from us. They want to call us "soup nazis", then "no more soup" for them.

What is a “Palestinian?” If you can answer that in one sentence under 25 words, you know what they are. If not, you know nothing about "Palestinians," Jews, or Arabs.

More MAGA! PDJT is gradually ending the terrible farce and ripoff of sending money to enemies of America and Israel and the west (Christian countries, etc). Let the Fakestinians go back to their own countries already too!

Meanwhile “Palestinians” want to “liquidate” the State of Israel, and threaten the lives of thousands of Israelis.

Did you read about the Palestinian woman whom a Jewish Israeli doctor specialist at an Israeli hospital and its staff treated patiently and compassionately over a long period for severe burns until she was well? Was she grateful to the hospital, the doctor? She returned to the hospital with a homicide terrorist belt.

The USA has been the world’s Sugar Daddy since WWII on trade, immigration and defense. Trump is trying to change that. No other politician is brave enough to do this. Money given to the UN or Palestinians will disappear like mist. Let some other country watch their money vaporize in these rat holes.

I remember the grand opening of a fully supplied hospital that America built the East Jerusalem Jihadis when I was living in Jerusalem. When the ribbon was cut and the doors opened it was discovered that all the medical supplies and equipment had been removed in the dead of night right down to the wall sockets. Only the wiring remained as it was encased in concrete.

The only reason to build a hospital in east Jerusalem is graft. Its 7 blocks from the free medical care in the Jewish hospital district. No checkpoints between.

Better to burn those millions, at least you could warm your house with it instead of fund mass murderers.
