UNRWAying .....

The United Nations agency (UNRWA) for Palestinian refugees, few days ago criticized the United States decision to cut their funding , saying the agency has a proven record of providing high quality essential services to those in need .

The US administration's top senior representatives, including Nikki Haley at the UN , Mike Pompeo at the State Department , the spokes person at the White House as well as the president himself and his Israeli chief strategists Kushner, Bolton, our ambassador to Israel and others, none of them had the spine or the decency to speak the truth of what's behind the cuts to UNRWA .

They all invariably came-up with different excuses and explanations and contradicting statements, camouflaging the real motives of the sudden move, and against 6 decades of established Us policy, ranging from the interests of America and Americans, the saving of money for other different elsewhere causes, to ideological statements about the perpetuation of the status of Palestinian refugees and their descendants, no mention at all though of a final solution to this terrible tragedy.

No one had the spine, from the normally very talkative president, all the way down to mention the deliberate and calculated pressure behind the move on the remaining Palestinian leadership in the occupied territories, to unconditionally accept the coming US proposal for its non practical deal of the century.

A deal that entirely eliminates the right of Palestinian refugees to return to any part of a future settlement, and or their original lands. Pressure on neighboring host countries, Jordan Lebanon and Syria is going in line with the same policies. I have serious doubts that the sudden recent US interest in reshaping the Syrian picture has something to do with relocating the majority of Palestinian refugees under a Syrian citizenship and permanent future residency .

These policies, tactics and financial cuts to the international agency and the mentioned countries, to pressure them to naturalize the refugees, possibly against a meagre compensation, paid by Golf Arab Kingdoms and Emirates. Meanwhile young children schooling, desperate hospitals for staff, equipment and medicine, plus the many other humanitarian essentials insuring the survival of the refugees, are all being deliberately and willingly cancelled. Even Israel's hawkish and blood thirsty rulers and top military are timidly cautioning the administration of possible reversals of stability due to humanitarian consequences, But Mr. Kushner and his father in law are a deaf wall.

Of course all have deaf ears , as why should we care about Palestinian kids schooling and sick children, and elders miseries, when we here in the States deliberately and in the most willful and calculated steps, are killing our own public schooling system, social welfare as well as our health care and seniors benefits.

We not only refuse to come-up with improving suggestions and long-term solutions and strategies for all our social services, but we're striving to kill every past achievement toward the betterment of the general population. Should we care then for others around the world ?? Or show compassion to grave injustices of our own doing ??  Of course not . 

This disruption will further disrupt and condemn the lives of 5.5 million Palestinian, who are totally dependent for their vital services on UNRWA. It will as well directly affect countries like Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, East Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank. Where in all these countries the unemployment rates among Palestinian youth is nearly 70% .

Finally, to add a little personal political American factual note, whereby Mr. Trump, his family and his oligarchy, are without any doubt, willingly and deliberately ushering all Americans into a constant battle, having to choose between people who refuse to accept domination, dehumanization and total injustices, versus those who are trying to force people to accept them .

All my thanks to all , as usual .
