Canada learned its lesson, cutting direct funding for UNRWA. Nothing here has changed: US to donate $40 million to UNRWA
The United States announced it will donate $40 million to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).
Thirty million dollars will be allocated to basic services that the agency provides to Palestinian refugees in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The remainder sum will be especially allocated to the West Bank and Gaza and will include food deliveries and a program to create work places.
Not just money down the drain, money that hurts.

2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
