Poverty-Stricken Afghanistan Donates $1 Million in Aid for “Palestinians”

19

This in itself shows that the Israeli-“Palestinian” conflict is not a dispute over land, and it isn’t going to be ended by some negotiated settlement. Instead, it is a jihad. That’s why Afghanistan is donating money to it (our taxpayer money). Otherwise Afghanistan would have no interest in this faraway conflict. It is all, from first to last, about Islam.

We should pull out of Afghanistan immediately, if only because of this.

(MEMO) — Afghanistan donated $1 million in financial aid for Palestinian refugees at an event in Istanbul, Turkey’s commercial capital, on Sunday.

Afghanistan’s ambassador to Turkey Abdul Rahim Sayed presented the aid to Pierre Krahenbuhl, commissioner-general of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), at a ceremony also featuring Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu.

Cavusoglu praised the Afghan government and people for their help for the Palestinian people, coming in the wake of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s call for Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) states to support the Palestinians.

More than a decade and a half after a US-led campaign that toppled the Taliban in 2001, Afghanistan has been battling abject poverty. A joint study by the European Union and Afghanistan’s Central Statistics Organisation in May 2018 showed that Afghanistan’s povery rate was at 55% in the year 2016-17 – that’s more than half of it’s population living on less than one dollar per day.

“The Afghan people have greater need than the Palestinians of the $1 million due to the conditions in which they live – terror and other challenges in particular,” said Cavusoglu, adding:

“But they sent this money here, forgetting their own hardship in order to make our Palestinian refugee brothers and sisters continue their education and not to be left hungry and homeless.”

He further added: “This contribution and aid that the Afghan people gave will never be forgotten. The Palestinians will never forget the aid and support they were given.”

Afghanistan’s ambassador, for his part, called Afghanistan’s stance for the cause of Palestine “strong.”

“We Afghans face many economic problems and we’re struggling and fighting for a better future for our people. We’re aware of the difficulties that people of Palestine are facing,” said Sayed.

“They need support and we should take steadfast measures to provide them with basic humanitarian aid and support.”

He said the Afghan government considers Erdogan’s call on OIC member states to support the people of Palestine a “positive step.”

Afghanistan also welcomed the OIC initiative for the establishment of a “Waqf Fund” to support Palestinian refugees.

In his speech, the ambassador called on OIC member states as well as other countries to support the people of Palestine “in such a pressing time that they need help and support.”
‘Immense gesture’

For his part, Krahenbuhl thanked Afghanistan for its “immense gesture” at a time that Afghanistan “faces so many challenges and has gone through so much pain, suffering and despair.”…

Trump should STOP SENDING **ANY** AID, MONETARILY OR MILITARILY TO AFGHANISTAN. You support anyone who supports ISIS/EVIL, you must hate America/Israel. Therefore, GOODBYE TO YOU. Fend for yourself. WITHDRAW AMERICAN TROOPS. STOP ALL AID.

But haven’t you seen the pretty speech to the millions of “them”, in the US, that Trump is so proud of, that it’s STILL on the White House dot GOV website?
He says one thing, and does another!

If the Palestinian Muslims laid down their arms, there would be peace. If the Israelis laid down their arms today, they’d all be dead tomorrow.

As Planned Parenthood is the DNC money launderer of our tax dollars, it seems Afghanistan does the same for the Palestinians…

Trillions of dollars later… Afghanistan sides with the Palestinians. The corrupt establishment still wants us to pour money into Afghanistan and won’t let is leave after what 19 years and WHAT has changed? Nothing except our tax dollars were wasted. The establishment makes $$$$ off of being in Afghanistan.

Remember this? BOTH parties are dying to impeach Trump.
The more progress Trump makes for US, the more the SWAMP hates him.
It is all about Wall street vs Main Street. Never forget that.

Decepticon Mitch Fires Trump Impeachment Warning with U.S. Senate Demand to Keep Troops in Afghanistan/Syria…
Posted on February 4, 2019 by sundance

The front-story is that Mitch McConnell organized his Decepticon coalition to warn President Trump not to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan and Syria. However, the more true back-story is McConnell warning President Trump that he has assembled his impeachment coalition.

The Senate passed a “sense of the senate” resolution today demanding that President Trump keep troops actively engaged in perpetual war.

The resolution passed the cloture vote by a margin of 68 to 23. When you understand the background of the ‘Senate Cloture Scheme’ (see Trade Promotion Authority and TPP), today’s Senate vote essentially highlights the Decepticon caucus. [The Big Club]

Those who have followed Mitch McConnell for a long time will immediately notice the republican names in his coalition. They are the identical recipients of direct payments made by U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue.

Notice also that Senator McConnell timed his rebuke against President Trump to take place just prior to the State of the Union address.

In addition to demanding perpetual war (and all the financial benefits therein), the republican vote is a signal to the republican President that he will not be allowed to defy the will of the Big Club.

With this vote McConnell is warning President Trump he has enough votes to support the Pelosi/Schumer
impeachment agenda; if needed.
