Who Are The Palestinians? Part 2

[P F Tinmore]

The Pally terrorist front group, also known as UNRWA, is facing something of an Islamic terrorist funding shortfall. I would hope this suggests that donors to this welfare fraud syndicate are becoming more knowledgeable about their welfare donations are used.

As the UN’s Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA faces financial strain following cuts in aid from the UK and other donor nations, an Israel-based watchdog group emphasized US and EU opposition to hate speech and incitement in the agency’s educational materials.

UNRWA head Philippe Lazzarini said that a 50 percent cut in aid from the UK, along with reductions by the Gulf Arab states, have had a devastating effect, according to a Guardian report Friday. “I have nothing in my bank account. I do not know how I will cover the costs and salaries,” he said.

Cool, maybe they can lay off some of those security forces that work for Israel.

Cool, maybe they can lay off some of those security forces that work for Israel.

Why? Israeli security forces are needed to protect Israeli citizens from Islamic terrorist attacks. Killing Jews is a core precept of your politico-religious ideology.

If you need help with your understanding of koranology, let me know.

Cool story, Bro.

However, the Israelis have decided that your teaching of the 'true Pally narrative' is about Jew killing and Islamic gee-had. Check your calendar. This is 2021, not 671.

BLUF: Now they will probably get (virtually) nothing.

Palestinian Authority spokesman Nabil Abu Rudaineh: We were offered billions of dollars to accept a Palestinian state with temporary borders, but without Jerusalem. The Palestinian leadership said no.

(COMMENT)
.
There is no strong history of the Arab Palestinians working favorably towards just outcome with the Allied Powers. That is there was no Cooperation from the Arab Palestinians in the Great War (WWI) and not in the Second World War (WWII).

There is no reasonable expectation that any real contribution towards peace and regional security will be observed from the Arab Palestinians. In fact, no Arab Palestinians participation, in any significant way, has resulted in any advancement towards the development since the termination of the British Mandate.

In fact, any hint that a contribution of any kind has come out of the West Bank or Gaza is simply dubious at best.

Most Respectfully,

It can be mind boggling to read the sums of welfare dollars showered on the Pal-Arabs while coming to a realization that fraud, theft and mismanagement has resulted in enabling Islamic terrorist syndicates to amass incredible wealth.

From the link:
''During the eight years of the Obama administration, for example, the United States gave UNRWA over $2 billion. What did the United States get in return for this investment?

According to UNRWA, the number of refugees increased during the Obama years from 4.6 million to 5.3 million – a rise of 700,000 refugees. The $2b. investment by the US did not rehabilitate even one refugee. Instead, every $2,857 corresponded to one new refugee.''

Effectively, US donated welfare dollars served to expand the number of claimed (phony), ''refugees'', which serves only to perpetuate what appears to be a self-sustaining welfare program that will endlessly create phony ''refugees''.

PMW Op-Ed: UNRWA - the worst thing that ever happened to Palestinians​

UNRWA - the worst thing that ever happened to Palestinians​

UNRWA - possibly the most human rights abusing institution
funded by the international community.​

by Itamar Marcus
Donor countries will be gathering on Tuesday in Brussels hoping to raise $800 million for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) to run Palestinian refugee camps. But is funding UNRWA a wise investment for the donor countries? And even more important, is funding UNRWA good for the Palestinians?

There has been a lot of negative news about UNRWA. The United States and others are demanding that UNRWA fix its schoolbooks and guarantee that UNRWA schools will no longer hide terror tunnels. Certainly, these demands are valid.

However, what is not being addressed is that even if UNRWA fixed all these problems, UNRWA still remains possibly the most human rights abusing institution funded by the international community.

This year the US has already given UNRWA $318m., and prior to the Trump administration, the US was the largest donor to UNRWA. During the eight years of the Obama administration, for example, the United States gave UNRWA over $2 billion. What did the United States get in return for this investment?
According to UNRWA, the number of refugees increased during the Obama years from 4.6 million to 5.3 million – a rise of 700,000 refugees. The $2b. investment by the US did not rehabilitate even one refugee. Instead, every $2,857 corresponded to one new refugee. When adding in the many billions contributed by other countries, the total waste is enormous. In addition, the core UNRWA budget since Obama’s first year has risen from $545m. to $806m. today. UNRWA is a nursery for growing refugees and a bottomless pit for international money. The fundamental problem with UNRWA is not its terror links; the fundamental problem with UNRWA – is UNRWA itself.

What “refugees”? Most of the Islamic welfare recipients are not “refugees”.

Both of the islamic terrorist franchises, Hamas and Fatah, use hero worship of the very people who exploit them as role models for the next generation of sociopaths they groom. Children are the most susceptible to politico-religious indoctrination and the Pal-Arabs have a dedicated, UN sponsored islamic terrorist welfare funding organization to supply the money.

Arafat’s role-modeling of 14-year-old “Martyr” remains central to PA ideology

Nan Jacques Zilberdik | Nov 15, 2021

2002 and 2003:Arafat taught “children of Palestine” that 14-year-old child Martyr was their role model:
“We salute the spirit of our heroic Martyr, Faris Ouda!” 2021A continues to glorify the 14-year-old’s Martyrdom “fighting” Israel

At the beginning of the PA’s 5-year terror campaign, the second Intifada (2000-2005), 14-year-old Faris Ouda died as a “Martyr” when he participated in violent confrontations with the Israeli army. After his death, the family and the PA publicized that Faris had deliberately sought Martyrdom and even created his own memorial in advance:

“The morning [he died], Faris went out early from his home carrying a slingshot in his hand after preparing for himself a wreath of flowers, decorating it with his picture, and writing by hand: ‘Heroic Martyr Faris Ouda.’”

An Egyptian who is often credited with inventing "Palestinians" and with stealing ruthlessly from them is still quite the popular islamic terrorist role model. Arafat even has a Pal Authority controlled "foundation" dedicated to preserve his history of Islamic terrorism and thievery from the Pal'istanians.

• Referring to the lavish lifestyle led by most Hamas officials in the Gaza Strip and abroad, many Palestinians complained that while the fish are eating the poor emigrants, Hamas leaders continue to enjoy the best fish and seafood on offer in Qatar and the Gaza Strip.
• Apparently, the two million Palestinians living under the rule of Hamas have reached the conclusion that it is Hamas, and not Israel, that is responsible for their misery.
• "During the past 15 years, Hamas has taken Gaza from bad to worse. Gazans are a people under a brutal Islamist regime who are held hostage to stagnant policies that only serve the interests of Hamas and their global Islamist allies. If the international community could help liberate Gaza from such forces, they could help Gazans create a Dubai on the Med or a new Singapore." — Ghanem Nusseibeh, a Palestinian Muslim belonging to the oldest Arab family in Jerusalem, Al-Arab News, May 29, 2021.
• Blaming Israel for everything wrong in the Gaza Strip may fool many in the US, Canada and the UK. But the Palestinians fleeing Gaza and their families who remain behind know the truth -- that it is Hamas that has brought them to the abyss, including the sea in which they are now drowning.

Senior Hamas official Khalil Al-Hayya said in a November 8, 2021 interview on Al-Jazeera Network (Qatar) that Hamas holds four Israelis, and that Hamas would be willing to trade each of them for the release of over 1,000 Palestinian prisoners. He explained that this is the “natural threshold” for prisoner swaps that was established with the 2011 release of captive Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. He said: “If the occupation pays the price, we are ready to sign [a deal] tomorrow morning. Otherwise, they will not see the light of day.” Al-Hayya confirmed that at least two of the Israeli captives are soldiers, and declined to state whether the four Israelis are alive or not. Later in the interview, Al-Hayya said that Hamas is proud and open about its relationship with Iran, which he said supports Hamas militarily, politically, materially, and otherwise. Referring to the Iranians as “brothers,” he said that Hamas does not concern itself with Iran’s affairs in Iraq or elsewhere.

The incident was tremendously emotive. Despite the IDF’s closure of the Gaza Strip, Harvard-educated, Dr. Abuelaish had permission to enter Israel to work at the Soroka Medical Center in Beersheva and Tel Aviv’s Sheba Medical Center. He was a symbol of coexistence.

The tragedy was even more shocking because he was on the phone live with Israel’s Channel 10 News when his home was hit.

After the war, Abuelaish moved to Canada and is Associate Professor of Global Health at University of Toronto. Now 66, he is pursuing justice.

It also appears, however, that Abuelaish, known as a peace activist, whitewashes Palestinian terror. In his book titled I Shall Not Hate, he writes, “The acts of violence committed by the Palestinians are expressions of the frustration and rage of a people who feel impotent and hopeless.”

“The occupation and oppression of the people in Gaza is like a cancer, a disease that needs to be treated,” he adds.

Regarding his childhood and desire for peace, he explains, “I was born in the Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza in 1955, the oldest of six brothers and three sisters, and our lives were never easy. But even as a child I always had hope for a better tomorrow.”

This, of course, was when Gaza was under Egyptian rule.

Abuelaish, nevertheless, suffered a terrible tragedy and he deserves justice. But he’s going about it the wrong way for five reasons.

1. Abuelaish’s building was a source of Palestinian sniper fire.

2. The IDF warns Gaza civilians to leave their buildings before they are struck. Abuelaish and the IDF dispute whether he was warned. Hamas has sometimes told Palestinians to disregard the IDF warnings as psychological warfare.

“The truth is that this embassy [in Tunis] was born from the Palestinian-Tunisian collaboration, and according to direct orders and instructions from His Honor [PA] President Mahmoud Abbas that we have headquarters for the State of Palestine’s embassies in the various world states and that they be owned by the Palestinian people… Also, it is true that the effort building this embassy is… part of a comprehensive effort that President Mahmoud Abbas has made to ensure for us ownership over embassies worldwide. Today we the State of Palestine has more than 100 embassies and ambassador residences, some of which contain residences for employees. This exists around the entire world and in various states in the world, and this [happened] during the years that have passed... These headquarters, embassies, ambassador residences, employee residences, and all these buildings that have come under the ownership of the State of Palestine are a national treasure for the Palestinian people, and certainly this treasure is the property of the Palestinian people… It is the Palestinian people’s right to be proud of this great achievement, which was realized as a result of great effort and attention by His Honor the President and was carried out by the Palestine National Fund.”
[Official PA TV News, Oct. 23, 2021]

Even though Assaf claims that the properties purchased are “owned by the Palestinian people… under the ownership of the State of Palestine,” this does not seem to be the case.

According to the financial reports published by the PA, from 2011 through August 2021, the PA expenditure on its “Ministry of Foreign Affairs” and “Embassies” totaled 2,815,958,000 shekels ($906,158,107 / €783,332,906).

While the purchase of “more than 100 embassies,” homes for ambassadors and residences for employees would ostensibly have been a substantial development expense, the reported “development expenditure,” of the PA Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Embassies for the same 10-year period totaled only 25,109,000 shekels ($8,085,971 / €6,978,898). In fact, according to the PA reports, the last time the PA “Embassies” reported any capital development was in 2011. That reported figure - 13,662,000 shekels - accounts for more than 54% of the reported development expenditure of both the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Embassies for the entire decade.

According to its website, the “Mission of the State of Palestine” in Ireland is located in Dublin at 8 Leeson Street Upper. An extract from the Irish land registry shows that the property that houses the embassy was purchased in 2016 for €1,200,000. While the registry does not show who owns the property, news reports at the time confirm that that the property was purchased by “The Palestinian Mission to Ireland.”

So where did the money come from?

The PA financial documents show that during the same 10-year period (2011 – 2021), the PA transferred 6,189,394,000 shekels ($1,993,743,068 / €1,721,387,796) to the “PLO Institutions.”

While PMW has already proved that much of the money transferred by the PA to the PLO was used to fund the PA’s monthly salary payments to terrorist prisoners and released terrorists, the PA’s financial reports also show that during the relevant 10-year period, the “PLO institutions” spent 158,876,000 shekels ($50,873,874 / €44,392,704) on “development expenditure.”

As Assaf commented, the purchase of the embassies was “carried out by the Palestine National Fund.” The Palestine National Fund is the financial wing of the PLO.

In other words, while the PA has been begging and receiving hundreds of millions of dollars/euros from donor countries to run the PA, in fact it would seem that large amounts have gone to the PLO to fund the purchase of the embassies. While the properties are meant to be the under the ownership of the PA, in fact, it would appear that the properties are actually owned by the PLO.

Indeed, the UK land registry shows, for example, that on April 28, 2011, the building that hosts the PA mission in the UK was purchased with ownership registered in the name of the PLO.
