1. No Rami Mansor. This is my country

You are 34, you have never been here. I am 63, I was born here, my parents were born here and my DNA points to a direct link to the residents of Jerusalem some 2000 years ago. Even Jordan is not your country, it is mine too. The POMs stole 78% of my country and gave it to a Hashemite tribe from Saudia and left me with only 22%. Go south man... to the dunes of Arabia. Nothing here for you to see.

Tough times for the wicked. I'm not a fan of Donald Trump, but at least he's doing something right for a change.
3. let them ...

Let the UN seek funding from the Arab League, Iran, or Russia. The PA states it does not want aid from the US and President Trump does not want to fund the PA if they refuse to negotiate. This isn't complicated. The US should stop funding and work towards balancing their budget.
4. What!?
Rami ,   Helsinki   (01.16.18)
Why not ask Iran to pay for it. We will hear from Palliwood how much they love Uncle Sam and how all those rantings and ravings like praising Bin Laden were just a mistake. Many of those so called Palestinian refugees fought for Assad in Syria before leaving to Germany after they destroyed millions of lives.
5. What UNWRA provides
tiki ,   belgium   (01.16.18)
Is not even a quarter what a Palestinian refugee needs.

A Palestinian 'refugee' already gets 3/4 more than every other refugee!

Question is why Palestinians, 70 years after their so called "naqba" are still refugees, while all Jewish refugees from Arab countries have prospered and in the meantime build a successful country.

These people have learned the word 'chutzpah very well!
6. No money no pals
BBB   (01.16.18)
No great loss.

America's paid more than her share and what did she get for her charity?

Nada, zilch, nothing except terror, threats and free loading Arabs who can't take basic care of its populace.

Bone of the best thing Trump's done is to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capitol withholding money to be paid to the pals ranks right along side!!

Love Trump!!!
7. JORDAN AND EGYPT CAN HELP AND FIX THIS PROBELM.
IRANIAN JEW ,   LALA LAND   (01.18.18)
The mullhas just do not want to finish this problem. They just want Jews gone again. Trump is trying to finish it once for all with harsh measures. Keeping aid is not the ultimate answer. Getting to accept the rule of Jordan and Egypt is a very large step to peace and progress. But it will not happen since Abbas and his cronies want to extort money out of the west and just keep fighting
