Although it is not a surprise to most that Trump pulled the United States out of the UN Human Rights Council after he did the same thing in 2018 due to “bias against Israel,” this move means Palestinian refugees are deprived of health care, food and education that U.S. funding to UNRWA supports. 

It is in bleak times like this that members of the community need to be proactive instead of reactive in order to bring comfort and safety to their fellow neighbors, and to prevent acts of violence like this from occurring in the future.
