"If you look at the American Friends of UNRWA fundraising site, however, you find that there is a hugely disproportionate effort meant to appeal to help less than half the people in the chart.
"UNRWA-USA is hosting four separate 5K runs this year, specifically for Gaza children.
"Besides that, UNRWA-USA has a Gaza emergency appeal, a 'protect civilians' appeal that is specifically for Arabs in Area C and Jerusalem (that heavily invokes 'settlers,') a shelter rehabilitation appeal specifically for the West Bank, and a 'job creation program/Olive Tree Initiative' that is also specifically for the West Bank.
"Oh, and a very general Syria Emergency Appeal.
"Unlike the five fundraising programs in the territories, the Syria program does not specify whether it is for shelter or food or schools or mental health; it is a very generic, general appeal because things in Syria are really bad too. Unlike their articles about WB and Gaza aid recipients, there is nothing about specific needs of Syrian Palestinians like food or clothing or medicine.
"UNRWA-USA does not have any specific appeals for Lebanese UNRWA aid recipients, even though the situation in Lebanese camps is far, far worse than they are on the West Bank. UNRWA-USA does not appeal for any funds for the 2.1 million Jordanians receiving aid, including those who are not Jordanian citizens who are even further discriminated against by Jordan.
"Here is a chart of the keyword tags in UNRWA-USA articles that are region-specific:
- Lebanon 3
Jordan 3
Demolition Watch (WB) 8
Syria 9
Settler Violence (WB) 10
Gaza Solidarity 5K 11
West Bank 17
Gaza 27
"No more than 0.2% of all Palestinian 'refugees' receiving UNRWA aid live in Area C of the West Bank, where those evil 'settlers' live, yet UNRWA-USA expends more effort appealing for funds to help the tiny number allegedly affected by 'settler violence' than for the millions of aid recipients in Jordan and Lebanon combined..."
