This shows yet again that Saudi Arabia is no true friend or ally of the United States. It is wise not to break the alliance now, given Iran’s aspirations in the region and worldwide, but it should not be regarded with naivete. The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS details how Saudi Arabia came to be in the context of an Islamic reformation which bodes no good for the non-Muslim West.
At the same time, if anyone is going to fund this sinister jihad-enabling agency, it shouldn’t be non-Muslim states, so in that sense, this is a positive development.
For the truth about the deep dishonesty of the UNRWA, see the new website UNRWA Dynasty, a project of the former Israeli Ambassador to the UN, Ron Prosor. It tells the real stories of “Palestinian” “refugees” -– people who are living quiet lives in countries such as Norway and elsewhere, and yet who still claim to be “refugees.” A fascinating site.
“Saudi Arabia pledges $50 mln to UN Palestinian refugee agency,” Al Arabiya, November 28, 2018:
Saudi Arabia pledged $50 million in aid on Wednesday to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), which has been hit by the withdrawal of all US funding.
The announcement was made at a news conference in the Saudi capital by the director of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre, Abdullah al-Rabeea.
UNRWA commissioner general Pierre Krahenbuhl told the news conference that the agency had succeeded in containing spending following the decision by the administration of President Donald Trump in August to end all funding.
The United States had been by far the biggest contributor to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine refugees and the move dealt a massive blow to its already stretched finances.
Krahenbuhl said in Jordan last week that new funding pledges from Europe and other Gulf Arab states had allowed the agency to dramatically reduce the resulting budget shortfall, to just $21 million from $446 million at the start of the year….

It is time the Saudis pay for their own kind.
Jayell says
Yes, it’s funny how the Saudis have done b*gg*r all for muslim refugees so far, claiming that they were ‘incompatible with Saudi culture’ or were ‘a security risk’, or some other feeble excuse, and (deliberately?) leaving all it up to Europe and the West to soak up these malevolent, phoney invaders (who seem to have been doing the Saudi’s work for them in their ‘contributions’ to Westtern societies). Now, all of a sudden, the Saudis find a capacity for generosity when that strangely coincides with point-scoring off the USA. Nice people, aren’t they? Maybe it’s something to do with trying to save face after being caught with their pants down murdering journalists in Turkey? Bt late in the day for that!
Wellington says
With allies like the Saudis, who needs enemies? I think there can no doubt that aside from a necessary, basic geopolitical stability whereby America must (unfortunately) support the Saudis because of Iran’s nuclear and other ambitions, were America and its allies truly energy independent this would give us far more leeway with that family which poses as a country. Saudi Arabia has us, excuse the pun, over a barrel and they know it, we know it, and they know that we know it. This, I think, explains Trump’s hesitation to criticize that bastard who is the Crown Prince. Wish the world were simpler but it isn’t.
mortimer says
Agreed. ‘Over a barrel’ … and the Saudi gangsters know it. They have no fear of committing a murder in plain view in a foreign country while the world looks on !!
The Saudis remind me of the cockiness of Al Capone at the height of his empire. He thought he was untouchable and no one could bring him down.
We only can imagine what would happen if the House of Saud came tumbling down. Perhaps there’s a more dependable version of Islam that could be imported into Saudi Barbaria to replace Wahhabism. Why not just give Soddy Barbaria to the Ahmadi Muslims who are rather peaceful by comparison.
Problem solved.
Wellington says
But, mortimer, would any group of “peaceful Muslims” have the guts and strength to stand up to Islam “in full flower?”
I’m afraid, per Islamthink and going back the whole way to Mo himself, Islam is so wrapped up with the rule of the strongest and most brutal that no anodyne version of Islam (which in any case would not accord with what Islam in its theological blueprint mandates) could possibly succeed against the most “enthusiastic and devout” Muzzies. And I am taking into account here the so-called peaceful Mecca stage of Mo’s life versus his very violent Medina stage, which latter stage supersedes the former because, again per Islamthink, Mo is the Model Man and what Mo did in his Medina stage abrogated his approach in his Mecca stage.
When you start out rotten and barbaric, there’s no reforming such. Islam started out rotten and barbaric and herein lies the reason why Islam cannot be reformed by mankind but only mocked and crushed and thereafter placed on the trash heap of history. In short, Islam’s gotta’ go. Indeed, I challenge anyone to name me one good thing about Islam that can’t be found elsewhere and yet there is so much wrong in Islam that is deuce difficult to find anywhere else. So, what is the point of trying to save any of it?
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
$50 millions donation to palestinian refugees cannot save idiot fascist murderer Ibn salman from prosecution before ICC for crimes against humanity in Yemen and lately gruesome murder khashoggi . savage mad devil Trump and leader of all evils Netanyahu have been dribbling to save the idiot fascist murderer to maintain alliance with cash cow Saudi monarchs for fascist evil Zionist State to continue slaughtering Palestinians in silence, but international community is alerted about their wicked alliance.Look at how savage mad devil Trump is defending the alliance with idiot saudi monarchs before the Congress that evil United States cannot afford to lose $110 billions of arms contact for the supply of obsolete weapons because of murder of khashoggi? wicked scums of evils!!
Wellington says
Uh, just out of curiosity, Ibrahim, what is your explanation for the fact that Israeli Arabs enjoy far more freedoms in Israel than do Arabs in the over twenty Arab countries that exist?
And please spare me (and others) more nonsense about “mithrasist christians” or how evil Trump is, blah, blah, blah. Just answer the damn question if you will. Yeah, be specific. Very.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
Ibrahim can not, of course, answer your question.
If he thinks too long about it, he will “vapor lock”.
Keys says
Yes indeed, spare us all more “wicked scums of evil” nonsense.
Mark Swan says
That is a good question Wellington—I am sure He knows the honest answer.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
welligton knows at the bottom of his heart that it is a lie that palestinians enjoy freedom under the most wicked people on earth the fascist evil Zionist State of Israel,palestinian life under the fascist evil Zionists is worse than that of apartheid regime in South Africa. It is because Wellington is a dedicated slave of fascist evil zionists like liar Gravenimage he keeps on repeating this nonsense. scums of evils!!
Jayell says
Mr Muhammed. Interesting to hear from you again in the rarified atmosphere of Mr. Spencer’s site. I am just amazed that people here take the time to reply to your almost-perceptive utterances with such consummate consideration and courtesy, because here in the UK such gems of intellectual genius as reguarly appear here under your name would normally be found fulfilling the function of entertainment material on the walls of public conveniences. Do you have these facilities in your part of the world, or, if not, do you really have to resort to Mr. Spencer’s site for your literary recreation?
Wellington says
I asked you about Israeli Arabs, Ibrahim, who are citizens of Israel and make up approximately 20% of the Israeli population, not about the so-called Palestinians, who could have had their own state long ago if only they did not have a desire to have no Israel at all.
A_M_Swallow says
Saudi Arabia could be broken up. The religious areas like Mecca going to new Arabia and the oil fields going to a second country.
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Wellington, you know at the bottom of your heart that it is a lie that palestinians enjoy freedom under the most wicked people on earth the fascist evil Zionist State of Israel,which is worse than apartheid regime in South Africa. you are wicked devoted slave of fascist evil zionists, and that is why you keep repeating this lie like liar Gravenimage. scums of evils!!
Wellington says
See my 12:50 P.M., November 29th post above. My God man, you have conflated Israeli Arabs with the so-called Palestinians. How sloppy (or is it deceitful?) of you.
Don McKellar says
This is actually a positive development on all levels. Long term.
With the exit of the US from the insane policy of funding this Islamic supercon, the Saudis are forced to pay up to continue this game. This puts them out of pocket and into the sunlight like cockroaches out of the shadows. If they want their treasured stick to whack at Israel and propaganda machine for useful idiots to manipulated by. they really have no choice. Iran doesn’t have enough money to finance all the anti-Israel forces! They’re in trouble now. It’s time for their frenemies to pay up!
Now in the long term — their proxy fake “palestinians” will be a black hole drain on Saudi Arabia instead of the United States. And that “investment” will only grow and grow and grow in cost. The rest of the world will largely step away based on Saudi Arabia’s new sponsorship because of the bonnie new Prince’s pure evil on display. Their real position is no longer something they will be able to hide. Not for long. Yes, Saudi Arabia is really fucked now. Fucked by Trump.
Guy Forester says
I suspect that the joke will be on the so called refugees themselves. The KSA levies a tax on the Palestinians that work and reside in the KSA. So, the KSA will collect it from the paychecks of the refugees and send it to the UN and claim what humanitarians they are. The KSA will simply raise the tax rate to collect another 50 million.
duh swami says
The US should not be funding anything even remotely connected to Islam…

Ibrahim…Did you know that intense hatred destroys brain cells?
The sound is like eggs frying in a pan… That’s your brain cooking…
You need to drop all that hate stuff while you still have a brain left…Just friendly advice….
Ernie says
$50 -million? That’s all ? Hahaha…………….., the MISERS ! Iran pays a lot more , and the European Union probably even more than the Iranians .
Ernie says
I don’t have the numbers ; it’s all assumption . And every penny is one to much ofcourse …… The
” Palestinian-Refugee-Agency “is the prostitute in this story and Saudi Arabia and Iran are competing suitors ……hahaha…
Ibrahim itace muhammed says
Wellington, if you are knowledgeable on Anthropology you could understand that there is no other ethnic group in both fascist evil Zionist State of Israel and occupied Palestinian territory apart from palestians as non-jewish, because the whole land has been known as palestine from time immemorial before Abraham came to the land from Babylon. you are aware that the fascist evil Zionist State passed a law banning Arabic language as one of the official languages within the fascist evil Zionist State despite the fact that Arabic is the mother tongue of Palestinians(note:palestinians were Arabised when Arab Muslims conquered the land sacking wicked mithraist christian Byzantine colonisers) . Is that not cultural totalitarianism and racial discrimination?
CRUSADER says
Back from the Holy Land of Israel….
Been …you know… Crusading…
Anyway, it is good to have come across prophetic folks such
as Amir Tsarfati who senses that there is a connection between
what is occurring and Divine intervention.
Ron Prosor evidently has Spencer’s new book about the “History of Jihad”
