Cindy McCain Demands $17 Billion for UN in Syria, Gaza, Etc

Peloni:  The Western shill game for funding terrorists continues…

After spending over a year demanding we plow money into Gaza under the guise of a fake ‘famine’, Cindy McCain of the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) is now demanding we plow money into Syria.

Cindy McCain, executive director of the World Food Programme, said Sunday the organization could “use $17 billion right now” to feed desperately hungry people.

Sure, why not? It’s not as if we have any use for that money.

“I’m asking on your show, worldwide, to please consider, once again, giving to Syria,” she told host Margaret Brennan, “because people in Syria will starve to death without it, and we’ve seen the evidence of great hunger there.”

If Cindy’s mouth is moving and she’s demanding money to fix a famine… she’s lying.

Let’s look at the record again.

Weeks after the brutal Hamas assault of Oct 7, Cindy McCain who heads the UN World Food Program, falsely claimed that Muslims in Gaza were “literally starving to death as we speak”.

Next month, McCain contended that “food and water are practically non-existent in Gaza” while CBS News reported the claim by a British NGO that “more than half a million people… ‘face death by starvation.’” In December, the UN WFP claimed 570,000 Muslims were “starving” in Gaza and at risk of “famine”. “It doesn’t get any worse,” the UN WFP’s Arif Hussein argued.

By the end of January, the UN claimed that “this is a population that is starving to death.”

That was over a year ago. Somehow they’re all alive.

We’ve been told that Syria was starving since 2011. Last December, the WFP cut its Syrian programs.

The U.N. World Food Program said Monday it will end in January its main assistance program across war-torn Syria, where over 12 million people lack regular access to sufficient food.

WFP in recent years has scaled down its support in Syria and neighboring countries that host millions of Syrians who fled the conflict, now in its 13th year. Humanitarian agencies have struggled to draw the world’s attention back to Syria as they face donor fatigue and shrinking budgets.

In July, WFP said it had to cut assistance to almost half of the 5.5 million Syrians it supported in the country due to budget constraints…

They have blamed their shrinking budgets for Syria on global donor fatigue, the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. Meanwhile, needs have surged in the besieged Gaza Strip during the Hamas-Israel war.

Last year, Syria wasn’t sexy anymore and wasn’t in the headlines. Now Syria is back and so Cindy can go on the air and cry that everyone in Syria is starving to death.

Are people going to wake up and see through the lies?

McCain and Brennan also discussed the situation in Gaza, where fighting continues in the Israel-Hamas war, making it difficult to bring food in and creating hazardous situations for anyone trying to do so.

“We can no longer sit by and just allow these people to starve to death,” McCain said. “We need help, and we need to make sure that we put political pressure on those that need to have political pressure put on them.”

Cindy McCain has been saying this about Gaza for over a year now. They’re perpetually starving to death in Gaza. After starving to death for six years in Syria, they gave up starving to death for Islamic Lent because nobody was paying attention, now that CNN is watching, they’re starving to death again.

But if Cindy really believes that people are starving to death, she’s an incredibly wealthy woman and can spend some of her hundreds of millions of dollars saving them (or just send them some beer) instead of demanding $17 billion from American workers to bail out Islamic terrorists.
