Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Pompeo slams Khamenei for hypocrisy over “Palestinian” aid funding

Sep 8, 2018 3:03 pm By Robert Spencer

Pompeo said “that while the US has provided $6.3 billion in aid to support Palestinians since 1994, ‘Iran’s morally corrupt regime provided hundreds of millions in aid to terrorists who endanger the Palestinians’ lives and livelihoods.’ Pompeo went on to note that Iran had provided a sum of only $20,000 to UNRWA between 2008 and 2017.”

This is not surprising. The Islamic Republic was happy for the U.S. to fork over the jizya to the “Palestinians.” The obligation of the “People of the Book” to pay the jizya to the Muslims (cf. Qur’an 9:29) means that is the Infidel’s due to pay for the upkeep of the Muslims.

“Pompeo slams Khamenei for hypocrisy over Palestinian aid funding,” Times of Israel, September 8, 2018:

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Saturday attacked Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei for his country’s record on aid to the Palestinians, saying the Islamic Republic provides support for terrorists while only donating small amounts of money to aid organizations.

On Friday, Khamenei tweeted at Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, saying that the Palestinians “should not be neglected even for a second.” The message came after the two met in Tehran in the wake of a summit between the leaders of Turkey, Iran, and Russia to discuss the imminent offensive on the rebel stronghold of Idlib in Syria.

In response, the Trump administration’s top diplomat slammed Iran’s policies on the issue, stating that while the US has provided $6.3 billion in aid to support Palestinians since 1994, “Iran’s morally corrupt regime provided hundreds of millions in aid to terrorists who endanger the Palestinians’ lives and livelihoods.”

Pompeo went on to note that Iran had provided a sum of only $20,000 to UNRWA between 2008 and 2017.

In July US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said Iran gave zero dollars to UNRWA in 2017….

    Palestinians are very uncooperative towards Israelis and have ridiculous fantasies of defeating israel one day

    The Palestinians need to come to senses and cooperate with israel and accept two state solution

      The “Palestinians” already have a state–Jordan.

        The Pallies want a ONE-STATE solution called ‘Jordan’ … the Pallies use virtually the same flag as Jordan … or didn’t you notice?

      The only REAL Palestinians are the JEWS! So yes, help the REAL Palestinians. GOD have all the promised land to the Jews and those who now OCCUPYING Palestine are just a mixed up bunch of nomads and terrorist.

    Iran has given $20,000 to the “Palestinians” and the USA has given $6,300,000,000 since 1994.

    Iran, in this regard, is a hell of a lot smarter than we are. We shouldn’t have given them a penny: their rich Saudi, Kuwaiti, Turkish, and Qatari Muslim “brothers” can provide for the always ungrateful “Palestinians.”

      True enough, Martin.

      But the US *is* starting to turn off the tap.

    There is definitely something rotten, mainly at the UN and PA.

    In the early 80’s upon return from a locum assignment in the Middle East I happened to come across a rather lengthy new article in a major US newspaper that went into great detail about the status of the so called “Palestinian refugees”. Per the UN’s own data they found the following info:

    Palestinian refugees had more people with college degrees, professional degrees, expat workers (including teachers, engineers, medical, and technical workers) than any other Arab group at that time. They also had more people actually working in highly sought after and good paying jobs in such places as Saudi Arabia.

    What the above means is that many Palestinians had regular sources of income not dependent upon handouts. They had a higher level of education than the average arab.

    So, what happened? Why all the dire poverty and wretchedness, other than the PA and other so called leaders of the so called refugees skimming off the majority of the money for themselves. Then, sucking any legitimately earned money out of those lucky enough to have real jobs. Bunch of parasites posing as politicians. Oh wait, that was a redundant description.

    I used to be very sympathetic towards the Palestinians after working with them and learning how they are being bled dry by their despotic tin hat leaders. I currently have little sympathy left. When they had the opportunities to throw the bums out, they circled the wagons to protect them.

      “Paslestinians” have “never missed a chance to miss a chance” at peace. They’ve got TWO states already, in Gaza and Nablus, different governments in each. gang war between. and why do they miss every chance at peace? See Koran 47:35; 2:217.

    Half right.

    Not only the Islamic Republic of Iran but most of the OIC countries.

    What a waste of taxpayer monies but past Administrations.

    Sadly it has taken a ‘supposed’ useless President to realise that the USA was getting it’s pocket picked by the UN, Pakistan and the (supposed) Palestinians. For too long the West and especially the US has been ‘bending the knee’ to apologists, at least this US government can see the truth, they were being ripped off. Hopefully Australia and the UK will also get the message.

      Have they begun to get that message?
