Our neighbor to the north has seen the light when it comes to the
UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency). They cannot
guarantee the aid donated to the Palestinian Authority does not end
up in the hands of Islamic terrorists who seek nothing but the
destruction of Israel and death to every Jew. No more Jizya to the
terrorists. At least from Canada. Way to go Prime Minister Harper!
Too bad we do not have someone who is brave enough to take a

anti-semitic. Try and convince me otherwise. Please. Yeah, right.

From now on, Canadian aid to Palestinians will be directed to specific projects. We will no longer give lump-sum aid to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNWRA), since most of that money simply goes straight into the Palestinian Authority's (PA) general treasury, where it might be used for humanitarian projects or might be used to arm and train terrorists.

It has funded textbooks that deny the right of Israel to exist and paid teachers who call on Palestinian children to push the Jewish state into the sea. It harbours radical Islamists and anti-Semites on its payroll and was even caught in 2004 using its own ambulances to ferry terrorists away from Israeli sites they had just attacked.
