Is UNRWA vital for the Palestinians' future?
A great international hue and cry followed the
Trump administration's announcement the
U.S. would no longer fund the UN Relief and
Works Agency (UNWRA) because it is an
"irredeemably flawed operation." Historically,
the United States was the organization's
biggest funder — in 2017, the U.S. covered
nearly one-third of the agency's budget of $1.1
billion. Angered by the Palestinians' refusal to

restart peace talks with Israel, however, the administration cut its
contribution in early 2018 from $364 million to $60 million before
ceasing payments altogether.

How Obama Blew the Chance for Economic Peace
by Mitchell Bard
Iln 2009, Barack Obama had an
unprecedented opportunity to advance the
peace process between Israel and the
Palestinians. For the first time, the
Palestinians had a prime minister who was
respected and admired by the Israelis,
because he did not come from the same
terrorist background as Yasser Arafat and
Mahmoud Abbas. Unlike his ideological
comrades who insisted on "liberating Palestine," Salam Fayyad, was
interested in building the infrastructure for a future state,
strengthening the West Bank economy, and improving the lives of the
Palestinian people.

Last Survivor of Sobibor Uprising Dies
HOUSE OVERSIGHT 033533
On June 3, 2019, Semyon Rosenfeld, the last living Holocaust
survivor who participated in the revolt and escape from the Sobibor
death camp, died at the age of 97 in Israel. Rosenfeld joined the Red
Army in 1940. While he was fighting the Germans, his family was
killed by the Nazis. He was captured by the Germans in 1941 and,
two years later, he was transferred to Sobibor. Rosenfeld escaped
during the revolt and survived by hiding in the woods until 1944. He
then rejoined the Red Army and participated in the capture of Berlin.

Views on Israel of U.S. Presidential Candidates 2020:
Joe Biden
Former Vice President Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., was born
November 20, 1942, in Scranton, Pennsylvania, the first of four
siblings. In 1953, the Biden family moved from Pennsylvania to
Claymont, Delaware. He graduated from the University of Delaware
and Syracuse Law School.
One of his first overseas visits as a senator was to Israel, on the eve
of the 1973 Yom Kippur War during which he met GoIda Meir. "She
read letters and told me how this young man or woman had died and
this is their family. This went on for I don't know how long, and I guess
she could tell I was visibly moved by this, and I was getting depressed
about it." The Prime Minister said, "Senator, don't look so sad... .we
have a secret weapon in our confrontation in this part of the world.
And I thought she was about to lean over and tell me about a new
system or something... .she said, our secret weapon, Senator, is we
have no place else to go. We have no place else to go."
