Dry Bones
Brooklyn, N.Y.-born (in 1938) cartoonist Yaakov Kirschen made aliyah to Israel in 1971 and began drawing his “Dry Bones” cartoons in January 1973. He is a member of both America’s National Cartoonists Society and the Israeli Cartoonists Society. “Dry Bones” was internationally syndicated and ran in The Jerusalem Post for 50 years, being reprinted by The New York Times, Time magazine, The Los Angeles Times, The Wall Street Journal and other major media publications. The “Dry Bones” story has been covered by CBS, CNN, Forbes and many others.

The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is the international body’s agency to aid refugees.

However a unique and special agency, called the U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), was created to provide direct assistance specifically and only for Palestinian Arab refugees and their descendants.  

UNRWA is the only U.N. agency that is dedicated to helping refugees from a specific region or conflict. Its schools have become a shameless tool of Hamas and anti-Jewish hatred.
