The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees has spent seven decades and five billion dollars failing to live up to its name. Instead of solving the Palestinian refugee crises, UNWRA has perpetuated it by trapping millions in a never-ending cycle of victimhood. Now the time has come for America to lead the charge by providing relief that actually works.
Presently, UNRWA confers refugee status on every new generation of Palestinians, regardless of how many decades removed they are from those who fled the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. It teaches children the fantasy of a Palestinian state stretching from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. The result has been lost generations wholly dependent upon aid and wholly unwilling to accept reality.
