Tilda Swinton: Palestinian Children

tilda swinton: It has been launched with the clear aim of dismantling their rights, by dismantling the institution that is charged with protecting them, according to Metro News. Actresses Gillian Anderson, Olivia Wilde, Emma Thompson and Tilda Swinton were also among the signatories. The real target of this lethal attack is the Palestinian people themselves, the group said in a joint statement. The letter was released by the Hoping Foundation, a London-based group that assists Palestinian children. Washington subsequently suspended a 65 million payment to UNRWA, the U.N. agency that provides education, health care and other social services to over 5 million Palestinian refugees and their descendants scattered across the Middle East. Expressing frustration with a freeze in Mideast peace efforts, Trump this month blamed the Palestinians for the deadlock and threatened to cut U.S. funding. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
