Support for Palestinians

This is what I’m talkin about!

In a parallel universe where clocks walk and ducks chime, Obama would have said these things.

Haley pressures Arab states to step up on Palestinian aid: 'We are not fools'

U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley on Tuesday challenged Arab countries who spout anti-Israel rhetoric to step up to the plate with financial support for Palestinians -- warning that while the U.S. is generous, "we are not fools."

At a meeting of the U.N. Security Council, Haley noted there is “no end” to speeches from Arab states criticizing Israel’s actions in the region, and the impact they are allegedly having on the Palestinian population.

“If those words were useful in the schools, the hospitals, and the streets of their communities, the Palestinian people would not be facing the desperate conditions we are discussing here today,” she said. “But talk is cheap.”

That’s telling it like it is. Way to go Nikki.

She noted that the U.S. provided $364 million to the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) and another $300 million in bilateral assistance last year, numbers that dwarf the contributions from other countries.

“Since [1993], the United States has provided over $6 billion (with a ‘b’) dollars in bilateral assistance to the Palestinians. How much have the Arab countries – some of whom are wealthy – how much have they given to the Palestinians? It does not come anywhere close to what the United States has done,” she said.

This is unbelievable and is what took place under the leadership of previous administrations. We were being raped and the WH continued to let it happen.

“But we are not fools. If we extend a hand in friendship and generosity, we do not expect our hand to be bitten. And as we extend our hand, we also expect others to extend theirs as well.”

The U.S. has long expressed concern over anti-Israel bias at the U.N. but Haley has threatened funding cuts for those who vote against U.S. interests – including on Israel.

I hope we follow through.

Yeah, we have people right here at home that could be helped by that money instead.

Oh, wait…

The annual funding Israel receives from the United States may be increased by $200 million in 2019, according to President Donald Trump’s fiscal year budget request. Israel is expected to receive $3.3 billion in 2019.

The requested funds are the result of a $38 billion 10-year memorandum of understanding signed between Israel and the United States at the end of President Barack Obama’s term.

It’s ok. It’s 1/4th what he gave to farmers.

US aid to Israel since 1993 totals over $80 billion, most of that in direct military assistance.

Blackwolf · 2018-07-26T14:55:31.031Z

As a percentage of their national income how much aid do Middle Eastern countries give to Palestine in comparison to the US? Asking for a friend.
