    Afghanistan is the world’s second leading recipient of humanitarian aid, yet $185 million of the UN’s Humanitarian Action Plan remained unfunded in 2009 (the UK contributing only 1.5% of the total funds received) and many NGOs have complained that aid is being provided according to the military’s priorities, linked to support for counter-insurgency operations, and not on the basis of humanitarian need.
    How will the UK government ensure an adequate balance between supporting provision of urgent life-saving humanitarian assistance, in accordance with their international commitments to provide humanitarian funding on the basis of assessed need, and their agenda to support the development of a viable state and  security?"

    لماذا نفذت المملكة المتحدة البند الخاص في وعد بلفور و الذي ينص على اقامة دولة يهودية في فلسطين و لكن لم تنفذ البند الثاني في نفس الوعد و هو عدم المساس باحقوق المدنية للشعب الفلسطيني في فلسطين حيث قامت اسرائيل بتهجير ثلثي السكان و محو الاف القرى و هدم البيوت و قلع الاشجار  . . . الخ

    هل السبب في ذلك سيطرت الحركة الصهيونية على القوى السياسية في دول اوروبة الغربية و امريكا ام ضعف الجانب العربي و انعدام وزنهم السياسي لدى تلك الدول !

    ارجو ان يكون الجواب منطقي و واقعي و مقنع و ليس اعلامي و شكراً
