The United Nations commissioner for UNRWA, the organization that specializes in keeping Palestinians in a permanent “refugee” status, says that for electing a genocidal terrorist government, and for kidnapping and rocket attacks, the Palestinians deserve “a reward.”

A top UN refugee official urged the European Union on Thursday to do more to alleviate the crisis in the Palestinian territories caused by international sanctions and a collapsing economy.

Karen AbuZayd, commissioner general for UN Relief and Works Agency, said her agency urgently needed US$246 million in emergency funding to continue providing education, health care, social services and aid to 4.4 million Palestinian refugees living in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Syria and Jordan.

AbuZayd cited the recent Arab League peace initiative and formation of a Palestinian Authority national unity government including the Hamas and Fatah as positive signs which required some “reward” from the international community.
