Palestinians Call U.S. Plan to Cut UN Aid a ‘Declaration of War’

Great news!

When can we start bombing?







Palestinians Call U.S. Plan to Cut UN Aid a ‘Declaration of War’
by Breitbart Jerusalem29 Mar 2018

(UPI) — A Palestinian Authority spokesman said Wednesday a move by the United States to cut financial assistance in the Middle East amounts to a declaration of war.
A reduction in U.S. aid to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency — from $125 million to $65 million, unless Palestinian leaders return to negotiations with Israel — was part of the $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill signed by President Donald Trump last week.
The United States has been the UNRWA’s largest contributor for decades.

Nabil Abu Rudeinah, a spokesman for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, said the cut — and an additional $705 million in military aid to Israel — is “equivalent to a declaration of war on the Palestinian people.”
He added that the move will heighten tensions in the Middle East, and that statements against Palestinians by U.S. officials are a violation of international law.
Rudeinah also said the U.S. decision to move its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem indicates the United States can no longer be regarded as an honest mediator.
The Palestinian Authority had hopes that Trump, with his unorthodox methods of diplomacy, could affect a solution in the Middle East.
The Dec. 6 decision to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem ended any attempt at a two-state solution, and provoked outrage and rioting in Gaza and the West Bank.

Meh....Palestinian leadership never had any interest in anything less than eliminating Israel from the map. Time to acknowledge that lack of an earnest attempt to find a mutually agreeable solution by hitting them where it hurts - their dependency on foreign aid. Sadly - people who just want to live their lives will suffer as a result of the unwillingness of the Palestinian leadership to compromise - hopefully this will be a catalyst for change.

And here all along we thought they loved us, turns out they just loved the money we threw at them. The swamp needs draining across the globe.

Not true when you consider the number of Palestenain leaders that voiced for a two state solution in the past.

I'm all for cutting off the UN, it just would have been nice to do so over something AMERICA FIRST and not over ISREAL.

Provided we get over the proclivity to rebuild the dumpster after we torch it. We tend to be the cheapest infrastructure reconstruction program in the world.

Over sixty's are the reserve for the initial push, we'll get you guys in when the first wave meets creates a breach so you can enable the spearhead and break through the lines.
