US State Department Announces Tens Of Millions In Aid To UNRWA
2014-09-26
[Jpost] Washington to give more than $70 million in humanitarian assistance to the Gazoo Strip.

The US State Department announced late Monday that it plans to provide over $71 million in humanitarian assistance to the Gazoo Strip, a large portion of which is earmarked for the United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).
Thus neatly avoiding working through the Palestinian authority, undermining the current truce discussions hosted by Egypt, and ensuring that the majority of the money will flow directly into Hamas coffers.
UNRWA has been a subject of controversy in Israel over its perceived sympathy toward Hamas and its actions during Operation Protective Edge.

UNRWA admitted to finding Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, rockets in their facilities on a number of occasions during the Gazoo operation. It said it handed them over to local authorities "answerable to the national unity government."

The State Department rebuked Israel after the army struck UNRWA facilities it claimed was used by Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, as cover to launch rockets and mortars.

Earlier this month, The Jerusalem Post reported Hamas used violence and threats against UN personnel in Gazoo during Operation Protective Edge.

During the operation, Hamas was hiding weapons in facilities run by UNRWA, and firing rockets from close proximity to its schools, it was discovered. UNRWA workers were subject to Hamas threats at gun-point during the operation.

In a number of incidents, Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, snuffies threatened to kill UNRWA personnel if they revealed that the Islamist group was using the UN facilities for purposes of war, to ensure that they would not speak out about Hamas's activities.

Details have also emerged of the fate of medical supplies and food that were intended to be distributed by UNRWA to residents of Gazoo in need of humanitarian aid. On a number of occasions, armed Hamas operatives forcefully confiscated the supplies, taking them for their own use.

In a few cases, both during and after the Gazoo war, trucks carrying supplies to UNRWA facilities were intercepted and taken over by Hamas terrorists.

#4  Howzabout we just put the money in a pile and set fire to it?

Less currency in circulation DOES help with our inflation statistics.

Of course they'll just print more.....

#3  Would it give the game away to note that UNRWA is the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East?

Howzabout we just put the money in a pile and set fire to it? It would do more good in the grand scheme of things.
