The party of jihad is urging President Trump to resume terrorist funding to Jew-haters in Gaza under the guise of “alleviate suffering.” Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza, gave the Muslims there all the industry and greenhouses, etc., which they immediately destroyed. Israel proves water and electricity. What have the Muslims in Gaza done with their state? Wage holy war. And now Democrats want us to continue to fund that war. Madness.
If Gazans want to “alleviate suffering,” they should look to the Old Testament: “And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.”
The “Palestinian” mission is the destruction of the Jewish state. We shall not underwrite it.
70 House Democrats urge Trump administration to restore Gaza aid funding
J Street-backed missive asks White House to ‘immediately take action’ to alleviate suffering in coastal enclave
WASHINGTON — Seventy House Democrats on Monday urged the Trump administration to reinstate its humanitarian aid funding in Gaza, saying that it was necessary toward alleviating the crisis there.
The missive — supported by the left-wing Middle East advocacy group J Street — argued that the White House’s cuts to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNWRA) was exacerbating an already-deteriorating situation that poses long-term security risks to Israel.
“We urge you to immediately restore funding for humanitarian aid in Gaza because it plays a critical role in the larger US strategy to secure peace and stability in the region,” the lawmakers said.In January, Washington announced it would withhold $65 million in assistance to the UN relief agency for Palestinians. The move came after Palestinians protested US President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and move the US embassy there.
“We pay the Palestinians HUNDRED OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS a year and get no appreciation or respect,” Trump tweeted on January 3.
In the letter addressed to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and National Security Adviser John Bolton, the House members also stressed their contention that the US should work to increase electricity provisions in the coastal enclave and encourage Israel and Egypt to lift their blockades.
“We believe the US should encourage all parties to increase access to electricity flow in Gaza to meet the critical need for reliable energy,” the letter says. “We should also push our partners to ease the blockade on the movement of goods, equipment and people in and out of the territory, especially for materials and supplies related to critical projects like medicine, hospital supplies and water treatment.”
Israel has imposed a blockade on Gaza since Hamas, a terrorist organization sworn to Israel’s destruction, seized the territory from the internationally backed Palestinian Authority in 2007. It says the blockade is in place to prevent weapons and other military equipment from entering the Strip.
Egypt, too, has kept its Gaza border crossing largely closed during several years of sour relations with the Islamist group ruling Gaza.
This letter follows a similar initiative that was led by Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders last May, in which he calls for the Trump administration to address the crisis in Gaza. Twelve other Democratic senators were signatories.
J Street praised Monday’s letter, which was authored by Wisconsin Rep. Mark Pocan, California Rep. Barbara Lee, Illinois Rep. Jan Schakowsky and Kentucky Rep. John Yarmuth
“The crisis in Gaza calls for steps to break the disastrous status quo and cycle of violence,” the group said in a statement. “Instead of standing idly by while violence and suffering escalate, the US government should be taking bold action to provide humanitarian relief to those in need — and strongly encouraging Israel, Egypt and the Palestinian Authority to do the same.”

why is it for anyone half breed to plead black and not the other? why is drake and obongo not hated as a white man?
The half black side gives them an EXCUSE to be a victim.
Remember only your skin color allowed you to get anywhere in life according to the LEFTY HATERS. The LEFT can not accept that life is what you make it.
We ALL have ability but the ability is NOT identical, so you can NOT have equal outcomes.
They want EQUAL outcomes based on UNEQUAL ABILITY and want to blame it on skin color.
Dr. Ben Carson doesn’t see it that way and that is why he is VILIFIED to an EXTREME.
I think you nailed it.

During slavery days if you had one drop of black blood the Democrats considered you to be black as a matter of law. They still use the same formula. Progress.
It depends upon what they want at that moment.
I just tossed my cookies, banged my head against the wall and screamed to the heavens. A picture speaks a thousand words, this one twenty-thousand.
Professor Dershowitz is right. Farrakhan is more dangerous than David Duke (the other holocaust denier).
Farrakhan gets legitimacy from people in power. His lawyer is the mayor of London – Sadiq Khan. his follower Keith Ellison is the vice-chair of the Democrat party.
And to think Alex Jones had him (Farrakhan) on his show for a little over an hour!! I don’t ever want to hear Alex Jones name again. I refuse to listen to his show anymore, if he supports islam!
Well said.
Dems hate jews and Americans and love jihadis because they are either muslims or pro-muslim paid shills of saudi, qatar and OIC lobbyists.
It took Israelis to expose truth about Palestinian fakery and Lies and boy was Trump furious when he realised how he had been conned http://bit.ly/2rOmfyJ
Rest is history as we see it rolling now
If the American electorate, citizens, specifically the moderate left, if there is such a political animal, ignores the threat of the demands of these Democrats, the nation is in dire straits. It is treasonous on their part and those who back these betrayers of the Republic. It is time for our President to speak openly to his citizens regarding these traitors and their demands in wanting the backing for the Jihad.
If the seditionist Democrats win more seats in the two Houses, not only Trump will be held to ransom but Patriotic, hardworking Americans. It is time to take off the gloves, sort to speak, regarding those Democrats but the like of Antifa and other domestic terrorists bent on the ruin of our Constitutional Republic. It is time for the truth to propagated by Trump and his administration and the few allies within the media front. Racism, anti-Semitism is the base of the Democrats. Our education system is rife with Progressive/Fascists indoctrinating the malleable minds of students. The government and its agencies are infiltrated by insurrectionists. Facts will not be disseminated by the MSM, the Democrats will do anything to regain power.
It is easy to criticize other nations for policies of appeasement and submission to Islam. We must focus on the metastasized cancer eating the nation from the inside out; not merely Islam/Jihad but their most stalwart ally, the Democrats and the satellite terror groups they enable and support.
70 democRATS that should be shipped to the Gaza Strip for 5 years.
Here is the list. Vote them out!

thanks for the list.
the democrat party is a closet pro-Palestinian party.
The DemoCrack Party should really be renamed the Ikhwan Lite party.
gave the Muslims there all the industry and greenhouses
My impression is that American Jews bought the greenhouses and gave them to the Gazans. In my mind, that was a fair measure of their gullibility and their inane wishful thinking.
How were they to know the Gazans weren’t “honorable,” “decent,” “secular,” “moderate,” muslums? I almost lost my lunch writing that.
Clearly LIBTARDS have no shame.
Libtards are psychopaths.
Liatria is a psychopath. You can not reason with a psychopath.
That why I blocked her.
Ew, no. We have donated ENOUGH to Muslim governments around the world, year after year, decade after decade, and most of their people still loathe us. No more PLEASE.
Thank G-d the Maccabees didn’t beat their swords into ploughshares. Thank G-d Jan Sobieski III and his winged hussars didn’t beat their swords into ploughshares. Thank G-d and Lord Buddha that the Buddhists of Myanmar didn’t beat their swords into ploughshares. Because those who beat their swords into plougshares will plough for those who didn’t.
As for funding the Gazan muslum chumpanzees I have yet to meet one taxpaying citizen of the USA who wants any of their tax dollars going to support muslum chumpanzees anywhere.
The democrats who want Trump to send aid, should all be given temporary passes to personally go to Gaza and hand deliver whatever it is they are whining about the palestinians need. That way, they can be sure the recipients get what they intended.
the black stone in the Kaba is a big meteorite from what I understand…they go around it 7 times I believe, what for?
Instead of trying the old shopworn Democrat method of standing back and throwing dollars at a problem, hoping it will disappear, why don’t these commiecrats put on their work clothes and go show us what needs to be done?
You can hope in one hand and sh*t in the other and see which one gets full the fastest too, can’t you?
“…. humanitarian relief ….” the islamic synonym for “more arms”.
Finally a President that realizes the treason being committed by our government. Giving money away for free as if we are a CANDY store.
That has got to come to UCKING stop. That’s our money you are RIPPING us off for. The IRS and illegal taxes are NOT constitutional, DAMMIT!!
The IRS was created to RAISE taxes and take the blame off of Congogress who is suppose to collect taxes. But if they did like they were suppose too, NONE would ever get elected again.
So they created this IRS crap to take the heat off of them. That is unconstitutional and a VIOLATION of it.
I am sure the Middle East anti-Semitic countries will make up any shortfall.
I can help the gaza people. Tell hamas to take a long hike on a short pier over a tank of sharks!
As long as the strip is controlled by TERRORISTS, there shall be NO MONEY going to help the true helpless people caused by the TERRORISTS. TERRORISTS spending most of their money on Bombs, Bullets and instruments of war.
As far as the building that was bombed as of July 2018 – – I call Bovine Scatology. You are trying to convince me that the people STRIPPED the building of every piece of material except for the concrete used in the framing? BULL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A short answer NO!
Amazon is now supporting palestinian muslims! Their selling a short with an evil slogan on it, and here it is! I refuse to buy from Amazon till they take this shirt off of their site, and I hope all christians are with me! Please send Amazon a review of that shirt, or write them directly!

I see Conor Lamb signed the letter demanding the US restore funds to the UNWRA. Dropping any pretense of being a “moderate” now that you’ve been elected, eh Conor?
Any money that might have gone to the Palestinians should go to the Israeli’s instead !
