Finally! Typical MSM spin of course. “JERUSALEM (AP) — Tens of thousands of Palestinians are no longer getting food aid or basic health services from America, U.S.-funded infrastructure projects have been halted, and an innovative peace-building program in Jerusalem is scaling back its activities. The Trump administration’s decision last year to cut more than $200 million in development aid to the Palestinians is forcing NGOs to slash programs and lay off staff as the effects ripple through a community that has spent more than two decades promoting peace in the Middle East…” https://apnews.com/3fad5d9e1fb94159a95decb08623e7d2 Serious about crackers | ||

The only way I know in which it "worked" was to fund radical anti-USA forces and enrich those who stole much of the money in the first place.

I have a grandson who has been dealing with the VA for several years. Nothing but a pure MCF in nearly every time he goes to an appointment. In one case, FIVE doctors all agreed that he needed a specific medication. Not a fucking one of them would sign the prescription! And this during and after a 240 mile round trip to get him to the facility. Another time, he was undergoing inpatient treatment and they gave him Hep C. Turns out the whole fucking place was contaminated, apparently not really cleaned or sanitized in only God knows how long. He is currently living with us (for more than 2 years) and my wife takes him to his appointments. The trip to the Richmond facility is generally an all day event, and nothing comes from it.

It's about DAMNED time!!!!! GO PRESIDENT DJT!!! "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Cue the hand-wringing from the MSM and the professional foreign policy establishment about how irresponsible it is to stop doing something that we have been doing for decades and has produced zero positive results. | |||

If something (like these programs to bribe Arabs to act civilized) doesn't work, scrape it and try something else. Sometimes the carrot just won't work and you have to use the stick. "I'm not fluent in the language of violence, but I know enough to get around in places where it's spoken." | |||

There are plenty of Arab countries who can make up that loss of $200 million, if they really cared about the Palestinians (which they don't). I personally hope no one makes up that loss and that the Palestinians are someday forced to come up with a way to make themselves self-sufficient, start producing something the rest of the world wants to buy and teach their kids something other than how to be a victim and hate Israel. | |||

I think those "judges" may be out having the next partial brainectomy done. That seems to be the biggest requirement for them to move up in the hierarchy.

It's a start. I'm opposed to all recurring foreign aid. One-time aid after a disaster? Sure... maybe. But recurring foreign aid, like welfare, becomes a way of life. We have to stop thinking we are a giant tit for the whole world to suck on. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Good fuck them. We can restart humanitarian aid as soon as they stop launching rockets and flying kite bombs across the border. Appeasement is not a winning strategy. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

Oxymoron: "Peace in the Middle East". No more Foreign Aid money to anyone. Except a proven long term ally. With Elk Hunters post in mind, use Foreign Aid money to gut and rebuild the VA. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||
