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…”

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!!!

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.

It's hard for me to justify giving food and money to someone whose stole purpose in life is coming up with new ways to kill me.

More winning

And more shit for the commies to chew on.

I'm a fan of Limbaugh's excrement list. You cross us and you are on the list. All money stops. You are on the list until you show a considerable track record of working in our best interest and behaving like civilized nations.

"Collective punishment! Collective punishment!" No, it's an end to having blind faith in collectivist politics - the leadership of Hamas is not answerable to the grass roots in Gaza in any meaningful way.

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.

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.

What, the leftists haven't found a judge from Hawaii to declare this unconstitutional, yet?

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.

US terminates Palestinian hand outs

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.

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.

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.

That is long over due,a few more would be nice.
Last year someone posted a world map and the amounts.
Sickening what this country gives our money for.

Good.
