Absolutely not! Not a fan of our PM and didn''t like the previous PM also. Our previous PM stopped the funding because of his close ties to Israel and his apparent beleif that Israel could do no harm. Not once did he denouce Israel for the violence, discrimination and settlement expansion that Israel subjects the Palestinian population to. UNRWA operates health, education among other social services in The West Bank and Gaza so because it operates in that area of the world it certainly has ties to Hamas as Hamas is the government in the Gaza Strip. To withold funding where funding is required for humanitarian reasons based on the government of the day is illogical and irresponsible at the same time and in my opinion this should not even be open for discission. For once I think, I support Justin. In case you didn''t know, most countries contribute to UNRWA. See the link.

On a greater importance is the tragic onvasion of Iraq, which in turn has unleashed on the world plenty of chaos and terrorism. This invasion in 2003 perpetrated by our closest aaly and based on a BIG lie that Saddam had WMD''s and that he was planning an imminent attack on Israel. Well, that was all a lie and millions have died and terrorism is flooding all four corners if the world. Your question to eBrandonner''s should be. Why hasn''t Goerge Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney or somebody never held accountable for this "war crime". That should be your question!
