‘Not A Single Cent’: Germany Joins European Union in Pulling Funding for U.N. Palestinian Aid Group
nationalreview ^ | nationalreview

Posted on 11/29/2023 7:30:59 PM PST by NoLibZone

Germany announced it would be freezing funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), a body specifically dedicated to Palestinian refugees, amid reports it has distributed antisemitic material, incited violence, and had alumni who participated in the October 7 atrocities in Israel.

Germany has contributed nearly a billion dollars to UNRWA in the last five years, making it the single largest donor to the agency, which has come under renewed scrutiny since the Israel-Hamas war began for its record of failing to prevent foreign aid from falling into the terror group’s hands.

“UNRWA is not making a contribution to a peaceful solution,” Max Lucks of the Green Party said. “Not a single cent from Germany should reach teachers who glorify the terror of Hamas.”

“[T]here cannot be a status quo ante with UNRWA,” Falko Drossman of the left-leaning Social Democratic Party said, calling for “a new initiative” when it comes to providing aid to Palestinians.

Last Tuesday, the European Union similarly moved to withhold 39 million euros from dozens of Palestinian non-profits, including UNRWA, demanding the groups provide “procedures and tools used to enforce the contractual obligations stemming from the restrictive measures and anti-incitement clauses.” At least two of these NGOs have been accused by an official of engaging in “incitement of hatred,” the Irish Times reported last Thursday.

I suppose I’m just cynical. But my guess is that the UNRWA will make some cosmetic changes.
And then the money will start flowing again.

The money should be reallocated to Israeli families victimized by palestinian terrorism. They should be encouraged to have large families, just like the residents of Gaza have been for a generation. Now its the Israelis turn. This should include those Jews who were vindictively thrown out of Arab countries after the Israeli War of Independence.

Well, the EU sees the light. A few in the US do too, GOP targets Gaza’s biggest relief group, clashing with the White House 11/11/23

IMO funding the palestinian authority so they can pay the terrorists and their families, including those being killed in Gaza now, is worse. But I suppose the Biden administration has a vested interest. If you don't teach generations of palestinians to murder the infidels and hate the Little and Great Satan the demand for aid for terrorists might decline over time. And federal spending can never be allowed to decline.

Should have noted, UNWRA should be shut down and palestinian refugees be handled by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, UNHCR, who handle all other refugees in the world. Of course that would reduce the number of palestinian refugees from an inflated 5.9 million to an estimated 30,000 to 50,000.

The Palestinian civilians that everyone has their panties in a wad about have received little to no benefit from the billions that have been poured out for their benefit. Has it occurred to anyone how much that elaborate tunnel system cost and who paid for it? And what replacing it will cost if the animals are left in charge? Food and water need to be delivered directly to the people or it will be consumed or sold for the benefit of Hamas.
