1 Mulls? MULLS?! I had thought that this was a done thing. I don't know where I got that idea. I heartily endorse cutting any and all 'support' for any UN tentacle, any NGO, and any vector of funding. Furthermore, I would wholeheartedly support any sanctions placed on these 'tentacles' and THEIR supporters, no matter they be a group associated with a little old ladies knitting and book club to any foreign government. This might end up being the rest of the world, but so be it. It is past time.

2 It would be fun to just burn our donation in front of them. It’s not like our money is real anymore after COVID inflation.

Dear UK, France, Germany, Canada, Spain, Norway, Netherlands, Australia, Switzerland, Austria, Finland:

Given that Nicaragua's dictator just announced no more elections, maybe it wasn't such a good idea for you to elect him to the U.N. committee overseeing human rights NGOs. https://t.co/1DZYCAD3K1

UNRWA is done, Whiskey Mike. This is UNHCR, for all the refugees who do not claim to be Palestinians.
