Maybe Israel policy will work this time

-

Regarding “Trump policy will feed terrorist hatred” (Wednesday), at least the writer acknowledg­es they are terrorists.

Now, for why President Trump stopped the money we have been giving to UNRWA (a United Nations agency):

The Palestine Liberation Organizati­on began as a terrorist organizati­on but was allowed to open an office in Washington in 1994 after the Oslo accords produced hope for peace between the PLO and Israel. President Clinton brokered a generous and historic peace offer that, sadly, was not fulfilled as PLO leader Yasser Arafat walked away.

President Trump only withheld our $300 million portion of the UNRWA’s $1.24 billion budget to show that we will not support anti-Semitic textbooks and anti-Israel terrorism and teaching children to hate and kill Jews.

As nothing has worked to bring Palestine to the bargaining table, maybe this will do it.
