UNRWA is the United Nations agency that is devoted solely to the care and feeding of those who are so-called Palestinian refugees, but in reality, most of the real refugees from the 1948 war died long ago, and the Palestinian Arabs whom UNRWA supports are their children, grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren.

Though Israel has been demonized by so much of the world, within that general demonization special hate has been reserved for two people, now members of the cabinet, who are inevitably described as “far right” and “lunatics” — Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich. The former has just done something that the Arabs, and the world […]
Red Cross and UN actively supporting PA building, expanding, and asserting sovereignty in Jerusalem
Despite talk of ending its pay-for-slay program, talk that its spokesmen conveniently engage in whenever it is expedient to do so, the Palestinians Authority (PA) lies.
