T Just for balance. 👍 In 2021 and 2022, the US was the largest single donor to UNRWA, contributing over $338 million in 2021 and $344 million in 2022. UNRWA received over $1.18 billion in donations in 2021 and over $1.17 billion in 2022 from various nations and organizations. The beaches are lovely in Cyprus by the way, we agree on that.

Findlay Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 The 2 state solution is the only option put forward but neither side will accept it so the only option for Israel is to keep pushing South. The Russians bombed Syrian hospitals and used chemical weapons but no Internation response. The priority needs to be the return of the hostages and assisting hospital casualties to evacuate.

The only time peace will prevail is if the Jews find somewhere else to live. It seems the only option when your neighbours want to wipe you off the face of the Earth.

But enjoying the Cyprus beaches in no way enhances your appreciation of world affairs,(or even Turkish/Greek differences )over and above that of someone who chooses not to travel. And of course why are so many Palestinians refugees The fund started in 1950 which gives some clue Edited November 18, 2023 by RJRB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beth Harpaz (the writer of that piece in the link) is a journalist of long-standing. 3 hours ago, Organgrinder said: It's still an Israeli support site which is not going to say anything favourable except to Israeli's. Doesn't matter if you know her or not. we don't know her and even people we do know have been known to lie. I'll believe the United Nations and NOT an Israeli supporter. Just because Beth Harpaz, a Jewish journalist, was writing on a Jewish (not Israeli) news site, it does not mean her reporting wasn't objective. And, just in case you are wondering where I'm coming from on this issue, here's a pic of one of my coffee mugs sitting on today's i newspaper. Mafya seems to get it.
