Sorry for being repetitive, but this latest "Project Fear" malarkey is seriously doing my head in.

Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations on Tuesday appealed to the international community to defund the UN agency for Palestinian refugees and their descendants after an ethics report revealed alleged mismanagement and abuse of authority at the agency’s highest levels.

The internal report a copy of which includes allegations of ***ual misconduct, nepotism and discrimination.
“The report reveals alarming findings. In propagating false information about its refugee population, UNRWA has in recent years worked to redirect world funds to continue this corruption industry
The aid money should be gradually transferred to the UNHCR (UN High Commissioner for Refugees), instead of helping the UNRWA leadership continue engaging in a series of ethical offenses,”

The Netherlands and Switzerland on Tuesday said they were suspending funding to UNRWA.

The Swiss foreign ministry told AFP in an email that it had already made its annual contribution of 22.3 million Swiss francs ($22.5 million, 20.2 million euros) to UNRWA. But Bern said it was “suspending any additional contributions”

A so-called “Palestinian” refugee receives quadruple the amount of aid that a Syrian, Iraqi or African refugee receives from the United Nations.

A study released in September 2017 shows that in 2016, UNRWA, which provides assistance solely to “Palestinians”, spent an average of $246 for each of the 5.3 million “Palestinians” it defines as refugees, while the UNHCR spent only a quarter of that, $58 per refugee, on non-Palestinians.

Maybe someone somewhere has their finger in the pie?

Man who called family ‘dirty Jews’ found guilty

https://jewishnews.timesofisrael.com...ilty-in-court/

A racist yob who hurled vile antisemitic abuse at a Jewish family was found guilty after film of the confrontation went viral.
Adam Cassidy, 20, called the group ‘dirty Jews’ when they confronted him after he collided with a baby buggy outside a Costa in St Albans.
“There are plenty of words you could have used if you just wanted to be rude; this was motivated by a racial motive.
“It was obvious that they were Jewish because of their skull caps and for that reason you said ‘dirty jew’ three times.
“It’s upsetting that this kind of behaviour happens in this day and age.”

It's more than upsetting Balan. We have no tolerance in this country for such nonsense. … and before you start "Dirty Jewish boy Weinstein" is banged up for noncing!"

And the lad who used the words 'dirty Jews' is back for sentencing next month. Just saying like, not a warning.

Just a wee bit of banter BT, nothing serious. PS, Is it true what I heard you where going to religious classes to convert to Judaism?

Nah Balan! 39 books in the Old Testament is a bit too much for me to take in.

I can easily handle the 27 books of the New Testament. If the books are correct your lot are phooked when Christ makes His comeback!

I nipped down to our local pharmacy this morning for a packet of aspirin, I thought this was a tad OTT!
