Here’s a billion dollars
The United States plans to offer more than $900 million to help rebuild Gaza after Israel’s invasion and to strengthen the Western-backed Palestinian Authority, U.S. officials said on Monday.
The money, which needs U.S. congressional approval, will be distributed through U.N. and other bodies and not via the militant group Hamas, which rules Gaza, said one official.
“This money is for Gaza and to help strengthen the Palestinian Authority. It is not going to go to Hamas,” said the official, who asked not to be named as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton planned to announce the funding at a donors’ conference in Egypt next week.
I do not believe for one millisecond that this money will go 100% to aid, and not into weapons and ammo for Jew hunting, a favorite Gazan pastime.
Israel knows what’s happening in terms of international aid to the Palies.
Why do you think they put up with it?

Why are they giving a billion dollars to any other country when the U.S. is in such dire straits financially? It’s madness.

I’m sure the Palestinian leadership will know what to do with the money. I read that Arafat died with $880,000,000.00 in the bank. But I wouldn’t want to jump to conclusions. Perhaps he had a second job outside his PLO duties.

The rate in which the world is losing it’s collective mind I think I may see in my life time, Gaza become the worlds largest parking lot, next to Iran.
