Defund the UNRWA
Defund the UNRWA
The UNRWA has become the mask that Hamas wears.Kenneth Meshoe [MP]: The moral obligation to support Israel
It’s a tactical asset for a terrorist group that empowers its human shield strategy. The UNRWA is not only endangering Israeli civilians, but it is also endangering Gazans who are exploited as human shields by members of a terrorist group masquerading as the staff of an international humanitarian organization.
This issue has come up before and the UNRWA’s long record of evasions and denials, admitting the substance of the claims about the Hamas takeover of the UNRWA, while insisting that its Hamas members are neutral and that all the rocket stores and rocket attacks around UNRWA facilities are unrelated to the Hamas members on its staff, are not good enough anymore.
The United States should not be in the business of funding the corruption of young minds. Money should not be taken from American schools to fund the spread of hatred and terrorism.
It’s time to defund the UNRWA.
Therefore, the political organization in South Africa of which I am the president, the African Christian Democratic Party, supports the right of Israel to exist within safe and secure borders, and to enjoy the inalienable right to self-defense. We reject attempts by some nations and international organizations to question Israel's right to defend itself against terrorist attacks, including rockets and missiles that continue to be fired by Hamas into Israel.12000+ Rally In Johannesburg For Israel
The ACDP believes that Israel has a moral obligation to protect all its citizens, particularly the elderly, women and children, from danger and all forms of external threats to their existence. We further believe that Israel's right to self-defense is in accordance with commonly accepted principles of international law.
War is a terrible thing and the ACDP is grieved by the loss of life and terrible anguish families on both sides of the conflict are facing at this time. We regret the fact that some nations have chosen to condemn Israel only, conveniently ignoring the fact that Israel responded with air raids only after enduring a week of constant firing of rockets by Hamas into Israel.

Today in Huddle Park, Johannesburg, South Africa, more than 12000 Pro-Israel supporters gathered to show their solidarity with Israel.Prof on MSNBC: There is No Anti-Semitism in Middle East
I received some feedback from one of the participants and she said that she is “so proud to have been a part of this incredible Rally for Israel.” Included with the large amount of Jews who attended was also many Africans, Lemba’s, Christians & more.
In the segment, Harris-Perry seemed troubled over the idea that the conflict between Israel and Palestine is "ancient" and "visceral." If only she could grasp that this conflict is "relatively recent," then she would be more "optimistic" about the future.R U SRSLY MSNBC?! Middle East Wasn't Anti-Semitic Until America Sided with Jews
Luckily for Harris-Perry, Professor Leverett was there to guide her with this "well informed" commentary:
"If you look at Jewish communities in other places around the Middle East, there certainly was after the creation of the State of Israel and especially after the '67 war, an immigration of Jews from many of these Arab countries to Israel -- but there still are Jewish communities. For example, there is a thriving Jewish community in Iran. And when I've talked about that people say, 'Oh, that's so terrible. How could you say that? Of course they're suffering.' No, I've actually been there. I've been to the Kosher restaurants, I've been to the Jewish hospital in Iran.
There is not this deep-seated Arab/Jewish, or Muslim/Jewish, animosity. There's not an anti-Semitism in the Middle East the way that there was in Europe, which is based on race, which is based on color, which is based on genes and biology. That doesn't exist in the Middle East. There's no history of that in the Middle East."
