Stop Throwing Good Money After Bad to UN Palestinian Refugee Agency

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency, UNRWA, which serves Palestinian “refugees,” is constantly complaining of budget deficits. No matter how much money it sucks out of the United States, European Union countries and other donors, it is never enough. It is always pleading for more money, which it is continuing to do today with another one of its special appeals. It is time to stop throwing good money after bad to this dysfunctional UN agency. The UNRWA General Fund, which supports core essential services and most staffing costs, operates with a large deficit. UNRWA emergency programs and key projects, also operating with large deficits, are funded through separate funding portals.
