UN requests record $450m in aid for Palestinians
The United Nations will ask suckers donor countries to contribute a record $450 million (339 million) in aid to the Palestinians, whose economy has been devastated by international economic sanctions on the Hamas-led terrorist government, UN officials said Wednesday.
Um... No. Thanks for playing.
About three-quarters of the $453 million (341 million) being requested is earmarked for guns and ammunition job creation, cash assistance and food aid, said David Shearer, head of the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. The UN is also asking for jizya money to support the Palestinians health and education system. The UN plans to officially launch its appeal Thursday.
You should get Jerry Lewis to host it. The French will empty the treasury.
