It has long been known that the UN, driven by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), has covertly and in some cases overtly supported and supplied the jihad against Israel. UN observers in Lebanon were known to aid and abet terror ops against Israel.
UNRWA is the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, whose mission has long been co-opted by Jew-haters.
That’s why the U.S. State Department announced that it was withholding $110 million from UNRWA. This was long overdue.
But now Belgium and the Netherlands, overrun with Muslim Jew-haters, are pandering to their new overlords and rushing to fund UNRWA on their own. It shows their true colors, and their readiness to aid and abet Jew-hatred.
“Belgium, Netherlands to supplement UNRWA funds cut by U.S.,” JTA, January 21, 2018 (thanks to Mark):
The Netherlands and Belgium pledged a total of $38 million for the UN agency that provides aid to Palestinians following US funding cuts of $110 million.
Belgium’s government pledged $23.3 million in extra funding for UNRWA and the Dutch government said it would fast-track another $15 million in funding.
The United States announced its cuts on Thursday. State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert told reporters that a $45 million payment pledged for the UNRWA food aid program would not go through for the time being. Earlier this week, the US said it would freeze $65 million pledged to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, transferring only $60 million.
According to UNRWA, the United States provided more than $350 million in aid to the organization in 2017.
In the Netherlands, International Aid Minister Sigrid Kaag, who used to work for UNRWA and is married to a Palestinian former Cabinet minister, said she would make available immediately her country’s annual budget of $15 million for UNRWA, which was planned to be dispensed in several payments.
Three lawmakers, including one from the ruling People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy, submitted questions to Kaag in parliament this week about the decision.
“Why are you fast-tracking funding for UNRWA when there are so many potential groups with urgent needs?” they asked.
Israel has accused UNRWA institutions of harboring terrorist activities against Israel. In October, a Hamas tunnel was discovered under a UNRWA-run school in the Gaza Strip. Israel has also accused UNRWA teachers of using anti-Semitic and anti-Israel textbooks. And Israel has charged that UNRWA’s definition of refugee perpetuates Palestinian intransigence and suffering.
UNRWA has taken various steps to address anti-Israel and antisemitic content in its schools. It also maintains that it opposes any militant activity on its institutions or by its staff.
“The agency that perpetuates the Palestinian refugee problem and narrative of erasing Zionism — and this is the first time this thing is challenged,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said last year. “It’s a good thing that they’re moving forward and challenging this body.”…

let the games begin
what do you expect from Left/Liberal loons?
As long as the Longest running Lie “Islam has nothing to with terrorism/jihad” continue the infiltration and stealth subversion & jihad will continue.
Its upto every patriot who wants to defend their country by sharing info like this http://bit.ly/2rF8pfo
Trump is also first president to call out the pakis for looting $33 Billion in aid and fooling previous admins with bundle of lies!
the US should cut another 38 million in funding, pointing to Belgium and Holland’s contributions….
Bingo.
Come to think of it why not 76 million? Just to rub it in a bit.
Why not 100%?
That would have been my first wish but Trump is more subtle it seems. He let Abbas shoot his mouth off and now says no money no contact until the palestinians negotiate peace and America has to be respected. I think maybe that abbas has been put in a vice and the vice is being squeezed. It may or may not be more effective than candy and flowers but it will be a lot more entertaining. It has the added benefit as serving as an example to others who wonder how tough a negotiator he is.
islam will dominate the west. it’s the will of mohammad. it’s written
mohammad is dead, along with the horse that phfukked him.
His will left a few goats, a stained burnoose and a copy of “Cult formation for dummies” to his assorted inbred relatives, who pawned it all at honest Omar’s pawn shop then bought whiskey and whores.
You are very, very wrong.
He will ban Islam and his best assistants will be Islam itself.
They are killing considerably more Muslims than are non Muslims as has always occurred.
Eventually those Muslims will awaken to what is happening to them and who is responsible.
There will be a world wide revolution, Muslim against Muslim, such as the world has never seen.
Islam will destroy itself.
You can dream! But don’t you think they’ll be satan’s little helpers (sounds like “santa”s, doesn’t it?), during the Tribulation? I mean, satan can’t give the punishment, to those MANY, who won’t take his mark, by himself! He’ll need MANY followers, all around the world, to give the punishment. (And you wondered why there was a LARGE immigration to all these MANY countries?)
What is the punishment, you ask? Why, it’s in our bibles, AND in the koran. (Notice CAPITALIZED word):
And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were BEHEADED for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark in their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
And, to think, that with satan’s help, they’ll be doing what they’ve been wanting for sooo long.
Getting rid of anyone that is not a muslim, and since many Jews, and Christians will NOT take his mark, they’ll be MORE than happy, to give the punishment to THEM!
AND, with satan’s blessing…how cool can THAT be! (not my thought…it’ll be THEIR’S)
I will only respond to one statement you made.
All the rest is the usual unverifiable verbiage.
You said:
“(And you wondered why there was a LARGE immigration to all these MANY countries?)
I do not wonder. I know.
It is obvious to anybody with half a brain.
It is the action taken by Islam to fulfill the koranic order to dominate the world.
So they force Muslims, their own people, to flee the horrors in their native lands and inundate the infidel lands and create as much havoc as they can while awaiting orders from headquarters.
I call that Occupation by Invitation. (A la Angela Merkel and the EU countries et al).
When the Imams think the numbers of immigrants and the time is right they will order a planet wide slaughter by those Muslim “refugees” of their hosting infidels.
Well, ok…yeah….that makes sense…sarc/off
If they don’t see something shiny across the street.
Many have felt the hand of destiny on their shoulder, only to be guided into the grave. Muslims are playing with fire.
Good, let the breeding pens of islamic hate pay for palestinian filth. Anything that hastens the financial collapse of islamic republics in western europe is a good thing. More American money should be withdrawn from all islamic organizations, there is no value in paying for terrorism against America.
The decision is made by the Dutch minister of Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation, Sigrid Kaag. Before she became a minister she lived in Beirut.
She used to work for the UN on Palestinian issues and is married to Anis al-Qaq, a Palestinian, member of Fatah, former Palestinian representative to Switzerland and former minister of the PLO shadow administration under Arafat.
Her four children she calls “Palestinian.”
If she doesn’t provide the money she will probably be beaten by her husband, as the quran orders.
It is incredible and shameful that such a person can be a minister in the Dutch government.
As a Dutchman I feel very deeply ashamed.
the Rutte 4 government is a disgrace indeed. I automatically switch to another channel every time I see the “jovial” clown’s face on TV whether on RTL Nieuws, NOS Journaal, Buitenhof or the debates in the parliament where he (with an air of arrogant superiority) laughs everything off.
I wasn’t aware of the fact that a “trut” like the one you mention has been appointed to serve as a minister in this artificially made coalition of the opportunistic and repugnant D66 and the fake christians, as I almost never watch the programs mentioned, this I avoid because of my high blood pressure and heart condition, most Dutch political leaders make me sick, (with ONE or TWO exceptions, you know whom I mean!)
The fact that the will of the people has been ignored again and again and again by Rutte’s VVD and the repugnant Pechtold’s “VVD Light” D66 is the proof that the Netherlands is ruled by “Brussels” (i.e. Junckers and the eurocrats, as well as by Merkel and Schäuble…)
Surprise surprise! The female in the Dutch government who happens to be married to a Lebanism muslim belongs to the snake Pechtold’s D66 party…
This is indeed a little known fact. And a majority of the dutch voters would oppose the money send to unrwa if they only knew.
I strongly disagree with Sigrid Kaag. Shameful.
Excellent. We get to keep more of our money and weaken European countries. I second mackykam’s comment, below.
How about using some of that money to protect your OWN citizens, guys?
Does not surprise me that they did this. The United States need to cut all funds from the UN. Buck a Christian 100% disabled Vietnam veteran ??⚔?? right wing republican life time member NRA and friend to Israel
HOPEFULLY the US will leave the UN altogether & SOON!
Funding should be cut 100% and the US should get out of the UN and throe the UN out of NYC. Let the Europeans fund it.
How PERFECT, would THAT be!! We can DREAM!!
As I have repeated stated, it is time to exit NATO. Not your protector anymore. You are on your own, and good luck with that.
It was time to exit NATO when Turkey (spit) joined.
It’s sad to see this happening in the Netherlands — where Mr. Wilders has been fighting the good fight against muslum imperialism/colonialism.
Any money the US gives to nation’s that support terrorism in humanitarian aid like Belgium and the Netherlands stop giving it and use it for the wall. Stop giving aid to countries that work against American interests like Mexico and use it for the wall any money seazed in drug raids use it to build the wall just build the f-cking wall
