US Officially Cuts All UNRWA Funding

The Trump Administration has officially cut off all funding of UNRWA. The decision was made last month in a meeting between Jared Kushner, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and R. David Harden. While Pompeo and Harden were opposed to such a drastic cut, in the end it was Kushner who pushed the hardest for the full cut.


"UNRWA is a foreign and unnecessary organization that has failed miserably. I intend to expel it from Jerusalem." said Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat.
That Doesn't Exist, She Explained

In a recent interview, Dr. Einat Wilf, former member of Knesset, renowned author and leading intellectual, explained why UNRWA should be shut down.

What is the NIF Doing Now?

AFSI friend and colleague Ronn Torossian is keeping a close watch on the NIF to the extent that he has filed a complaint with the IRS asking that the NIF's tax-exempt status be revoked.

The NIF connection to the Free Cities Organization is widely known on the internet. This involvement constitutes political campaigning, which is a clear violation of the US tax code for charitable organizations. Read Ronn's OpEd HERE.
Pakistan Aid. Trump cuts $300M in aid over terror record.

Secret Route. Gun smuggling air routes to Hezbollah exposed.

Account Closed. Germany closes bank accounts of group sympathetic to Palestinian terrorists.

French Olim. Jews from France make aliyah to Samaria's Bruchin community.

Stories Told. Three Sderot residents tell their experience of living under fire from Hamas attacks.
In yet another display of Facebook's apparent tolerance of extreme antisemitism, the social networking site has refused to take down a disturbing cartoon which features two smiling Arabs hanging an Orthodox Jewish man.
