Muslim journalist: Stop funding “biased and racist” UNRWA until it crumbles

Jan 23, 2018 7:51 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

President Donald Trump is right in withholding aid to the “biased and racist” U.N. so-called Palestinian refugee agency that seeks to destroy Israel, a Kuwaiti columnist said Wednesday.

The carefully marketed us-versus-them propaganda has an opponent in Abdallah Al-Hadlaq, who “called for all funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) to cease until it ‘crumbles and disappears.’”

The U.S. is UNRWA’s single largest donor, providing about $300 million annually.

This Arab Muslim journalist has broken all the rules by coming out with the truth. The so-called Palestinian refugees are the only group of refugees in the world that has multiplied to millions, nearly ten times the number since 1949, with refugee status passed on from generation to generation. This farce needs to stop.

The previous Conservative government of Canada cut funding to UNRWA for its suspected funneling of funds to Hamas. The Liberal government a month before Christmas decided to restore 25 million dollars to the agency.

The U.N. itself released a report in 2015 that found Palestinian terror groups used three empty U.N.-run schools in Gaza as a weapons cache

Kudos to Abdallah Al-Hadlaq for breaking out from the liberal lockstep and its expectation of intersectionality among its proponents.

“Arab Journalist: ‘Stop Funding Racist U.N. Palestinian Refugee Agency Until It Crumbles and Disappears,’” by Deborah Danan, Breitbart, January 22, 2018:

TEL AVIV – President Donald Trump is right in withholding aid to the “biased and racist” U.N. so-called Palestinian refugee agency that seeks to destroy Israel, a Kuwaiti columnist said Wednesday.

In his column in the Kuwaiti daily Al-Watan, Abdallah Al-Hadlaq called for all funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) to cease until it “crumbles and disappears.”

On Thursday, the Trump administration said it is for now withholding $45 million it pledged last month to the Palestinians as part of a “West Bank/Gaza Emergency Appeal” led by UNRWA. The $45 million is separate from the $65 million the U.S. informed UNRWA in a letter sent earlier this week that it is withholding “for future consideration.”

The U.S. is UNRWA’s single largest donor, providing about $300 million annually.

The definition of a Palestinian “refugee” and the actual numbers have long been the subject of debate.

Al-Hadlaq called Trump’s criticism of UNRWA “harsh but reasonable,” according to a translation of the article by the Middle East Media Research Institute, “for it is a biased and racist organization that perpetuates the problem of the ‘Palestinian’ refugees and the narrative of the so-called right of return, an organization whose role is apparently to work towards the destruction of the State of Israel.”

Al-Hadlaq is known for writing articles that are often supportive of Israel and critical of the Palestinians. The word “Palestinian” appears in quotation marks throughout Wednesday’s oped, an apparent espousal of the notion of a Palestinian nation having no historical basis.

“The terrorist Hamas movement, which supports the Persian Iranian regime, rejected [UNRWA’s] curricula on human rights,” he wrote.

Al-Hadlaq’s remarks referred to a 2014 call from Hamas to the UN agency to cease introducing a human rights curriculum in its schools on the grounds that this was intended to brainwash students and cause them to reject resistance and terror against Israel, MEMRI reported, citing the UK-based Al-Quds Al-Arabi newspaper.

“Hamas’s complaint was that these curricula address everyone’s human rights, including those of the Jewish and Israeli people, and contravene the culture and rights of the ‘Palestinian’ people,” he continued.

Al-Hadlaq concluded by saying, “All forms of financial aid and international funding for UNRWA must stop, as long as it [continues] subjecting its decisions to the methodology of terror, exclusion, racism.”

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Sunday cursed Trump over his threat to cut aid to the Palestinians, using a popular Arabic epithet, “May your house come to ruin.”

UNRWA has also come under fire on many occasions both for spreading anti-Semitic hate in its schools and for employing members of terror organizations and supporters of terror. In February, U.N. Watch released an 130-page report exposing 40 UNRWA school employees in Gaza and elsewhere who engaged in incitement to terror against Israelis and expressed “anti-Semitism, including by posting Holocaust-denying videos and pictures celebrating Hitler.”

That month the agency also announced the suspension of an UNRWA employee suspected of having been elected a Hamas leader.

The U.N. itself released a report in 2015 that found Palestinian terror groups used three empty U.N.-run schools in Gaza as a weapons cache……

    Arab history has many introspective free thinkers on record standing against the totalitarian policies of Islamic politics. Unfortunately they are not well capitalized these days, and a cabal of Wahhabists or Shiite Islamic Statists control the narrative. It reminds me of the Holy Roman Empire rise in Europe. Perhaps the age of reason will steamroll the political Islam movement. I know many deeply secular Arabs and Persians, and many even some abjurant ex-Muslims.

      “May your house come to ruin.” One of the implications obviously is, “May the U.S. come to ruin.” And we are giving these people money?

      Until a majority of Muslim-majority nations have freedom of religion and freedom of speech, non-Muslim nations should have a moratorium on any further Islamic immigration.

    There is no room for age of reason in Islam religion no separation of church and state allowed as per there good books Koran ,Hadiths, and Sharia laws. If you are deeply secular you are not truly Moslem and face a death sentence as seen throughout the history of Islam. . Any free thinkers of the past were killed for there braking the rules of true Islam .Post some free thinkers who made headway in the past to change Islam for the better. It is like saying true Nazis were not so bad they had some good free thinkers ,we should bring them back to main stream governments through out the world. Give them a say in our daily lives do not say anything to get them angry or they might kill us. There are many good Arab and Persian people they are good because they do not follow true Islam .Just like in 1942 there were many good German people ,but they did not speak up because they would be killed ,they did not run Germany at that time. Islam has 1400 year track record of murder ,rape, and mayhem all following there religious books to a T ,I do not see any reasoning with them .Islam is a bad idea cloth in violence, slavery, suppression of free thinking ,group think as bees in a have is all that is allowed .The difference is bees make honey Islam only makes move violence and slaves of all unbelievers it does not kill.

    These clowns at the United Nations Rocket Warehousing Authority (UNRWA) cost a fortune and give nothing tangible back to their donors! Check out the following financial fact for proof.

    UNRWA employs 4 times more staff than the UNHCR, but deals with 6 times fewer ‘refugees’ than the UNHCR!

      This is for you, lebel:

      Muhammad says your “lives and property” are not safe from him unless you become a Muslim

      In Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, the two most canonical hadith collections:

      Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 2, Number 24:
      https://muflihun.com/bukhari/2/24

      Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:

      Allah’s Apostle said: “I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah’s Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform all that, then they save their lives and property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah.”

      Sahih Muslim, Book 031, Number 5917:
      muflihun.com/muslim/31/5917

      …Ali went a bit and then halted and did not look about and then said in a loud voice: Allah’s Messenger, on what issue should I fight with the people? Thereupon he (the Prophet) said: Fight with them until they bear testimony to the fact that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his Messenger, and when they do that then their blood and their riches are inviolable from your hands but what is justified by law and their reckoning is with Allah.

    How about zero money for “Palestinian” mafia con artists. No money for people who spread jihad ideology and hate freedom. No money for liars. No money for crazed violent barbarians.

    We need to stop funding our enemies and build up our OWN country.

      The repulsive Ibrahim itace muhammed wrote:

      ……………………………

      Now Ibrahim itace muhammed is claiming that if we don’t pour money into UNRWA that we are “steal their resource”. Only Muslims think that Infidel’s hard-earned tax money is their “resourse”. But then, Muslims always have believed that Infidels owe them Jizya.

      More:

      They Will soon be kicked out and retrieve resources back home for development. part of the money Will be used to provide relief aids to deprived palestinians as subtitutes to the aids withdrawn by savage mad devil Trump.
      ……………………………

      When have Muslims ever aided other Muslims? They always expect the Kuffar to do this. Also no explanation as to why the “Palestinians” seem to require endless aid for decades on end.

      More:

      Then, armed robber evil united states Will no longer sell those obsolete weapons in the région. wicked state of armed robbers !!
      ……………………………

      Ibrahim itace muhammed has made this laughable claim before–that the only reason Muslims have not been able to vioently conquer us is because we are selling them substandard weaponry…

        Leftruinigcanada, you asked:Like what ? Ask Financial institutions in the evil united states how much of assets owned by these Idiot monarchs from Gulf states own.The Federal Reserve and other Regulatory agencies never care to question why such huge assets are owned by individual monarchs . If you are knowledgeable on the function of Regulatory agencies, you Will be able to know that they have to question such assets coming from foreign nations. But this never been done on the assets coming from these idiot monarchs as to the source. From this you can infer that politicaleconomÿ is involved to shield thievaries for the benefits of evil united states economy.

          If only you would respond so enthusiastically to questions regarding your sources on other subjects, Ibrahim.

          But then, that would require you to focus on something which perhaps you really know is unsupportable.

          As it is, i’m not exactly sure what your problem is. So, some muslim arabs steal and horde money from their countries, perhaps at the expense of some of their subjects.

          Seems pretty normal, judging from Gaza for example.

          And we should blame America for banking it?

    ; Don’t buy street hard drugs manufactured by Muhammadans, e.g., heroin, and cocaine, and Muhammadanism will shrivel, and die within a year. This is another reason why the federal government should make cannabis totally legal, as another way of removing financial support for hard-drugs, and the taxes earned from legal cannabis will enable states to conduct repairs to their infrastructure, and enable state’s rights.
