The UN is cutting back it's toys for terrorists' tots and meals-on-carbomb-wheels programmes n Gaza:
Rising prices and funding shortages have forced the United Nations to stop providing emergency food aid to more than 13 percent of the 750,000 Palestinian refugees it generally feeds in Gaza, a UN official said Friday.The United Nations' Relief Works Agency has over the last few weeks gradually reduced the number of Palestinian refugees to whom it distributes packages of basic foods to some 650,000, spokesman Matthias Burchard told The Associated Press.
It has also had to further reduce rations, he said.
"Soaring food prices, transport and fuel costs are forcing us to reduce what we can give," Burchard said.
The cost of fuel in Iran and Venezuela, of course, is ludicrously low. cents for the gallon.
Strange how that doesn't somehow get imparted to their so-called brothers in armed struggle, eh? Makes you think they somehow get off on Palis pantomiming and staging scenes of suffering and degradation for the international press.
So, where is the real problem? Why is the begging bowl not as full as it is supposed to be?
The funding gap comes from the fact that Arab Islamic Petrotheocracies pledged over 700 million bucks for the year and barely delivered 150 million bucks.
Most of the money they actually delivered, of course, going to either weapons or third rate goods meant to provide cover for weapons smuggling.
Makes you wonder about the suckers at the State Department who keep writing check after check, eh?

This is what I don't get about religion in general.
Now one can make a decent argument that Islam really is about killing infidels even though many choose a less extreme version.
But there is NO DEBATE about how to handle poverty. Allah wants you to feed the hungry and Islam isn't exactly namby pamby about it.
So if one REALLY believed in that silly shit, how come they don't redistribute their wealth so that their fellow muslims (if not others) don't go hungry?
Obviously, they're just a bunch of greedy atheists like the rest of us... well... me anyway.
theists. feh!
