1. Terrible Chillul HaShem
Yisrael ,   Montreal   (11.09.06)
This is terrible, disgusting, horrifying news! Back in Poland, during the worst periods of oppression and misery, Jews were looking out of each others, making sure everyone had everything they needed Now, inside and outside Israel, Jews are shunning out fellow Jews, even serving Israeli Arabs before donating money to their fellow Jews! It's.. shameful
2. US Jews didn't know about this. We will help!
Zionist ,   Miami   (11.09.06)
We will pressure the mainstream organizations that we give money to so that they support the evacuees. American Jews supported the disengagement by and large so it is shameful not to support those who were displaced.
3. ITS AN INTERNAL ISRAELI MATTER TO BE HANDLED BY GOVERNMENT
(11.09.06)
ITS NOT US JEWS THAT HAVE FAILED THE EVACUES ITS THE ISRAELI GOVERNEMENT.
4. Re Jewish groups
ROD ,   Fargo.N.Dakota   (11.09.06)
Any Jew who gives to these Leftist groups is insane.In the U.S. they give to minorities more then to poor Jews,the leaders of these groups are rich leftists who have no contact with working class Jews.Most none Jews will compliment to their face but mock them behind their backs
5. American Jews
Choni Davidowitz   (11.09.06)
All you are doing is hastening the coming American "holocaust".
6. WHIPLASH?

9. Time to call Bloomberg!
Marlêne ,   FRANCE   (11.09.06)
He purchased himself a home in Jerusalem of Gold. He knows where & how to release much needed funds. How about flooding his office with phone calls, faxes, e.mails, telegrams, etc?
10. #6 easily taken in
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (11.09.06)
You don't seem to have a problem when it comes to giving away money to Palestinians who want to murder you. "It's for PEEEEEEACE" after all.
11. donations
joan ,   ramat aviv, israel   (11.09.06)
For many years now the American Jewish establishment has shown discrimination against their brothers and sisters over "the green line". My family in the States no longer gives to these organizations...they give directly to smaller organizations that have little overhead and so result in more funds going directly to the ones who need it.
12. Addresses to Make Donations:
Paul ,   Kiryat Arba, Israel   (11.09.06)
Central Fund for Israel 13 Hagoel Street Efrat 90435 Israel or Central Fund for Israel 980 Sixth Avenue, third floor New York, NY 10018 USA
13. Also an internal matter - NIS 1 Million for Aliza Olmert
Paul ,   Kiryat Arba, Israel   (11.09.06)
NIS 1 Million for Aliza Olmert 17:55 Nov 09, '06 / 18 Cheshvan 5767 (IsraelNN.com) While the government is working to trim the 2007 state budget, NIS 1 million has been approved for Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s wife, Aliza. The new budget includes NIS 40,000 for shoes, a vehicle and a driver, as well as other perks to permit Mrs. Olmert the freedom of conducting business as the prime minister’s wife.
14. Occupiers
American ,   USA   (11.09.06)

(11.09.06)
P.O BOX 1184, TEANECK, NJ 07666 WWW.KATIFUND.ORG
17. 15 months without homes - we must help them
Caroline ,   Greatneck, NY   (11.09.06)
that's not making sense that we are sending all our money to the North!! we must give it directly to GUSH KATIF PEOPLE!
18. Par for the course for "Jewish" organizations
Y ,   Israel   (11.09.06)
For many, many years American Jewish organizations have always been ready to help many non-Jewish groups at the dictates of their multi-millionaire, self-appointed leaders seeking recognition from "the goyim". It's no surprize that expellees are ignored (tons of Jewish money was donated by these organizations for victims of Hurricane Katrina even though the US Govt. spent 10's of billions). What can you expect from Jewish organizations that support the expulsion of Jews?!
19. 4/5 got left behind. Jews should unite and help eachother.
Jeremiah ,   Israel, Jewish Land   (11.09.06)
This is a real tragedy. How Jews living in the galut can be so cold to their brothers trying to survive in Eretz Israel is disgusting. Especially the Jews of Gush Katif and Yesha who are trying to build a Torah Jewish Land. U.S Jews don't really have a clue what it's like to live here. Maybe you come to visit and have a good time site seeing but living here is very challanging from many angles to say the least. Israelis are certainly tough and we will make it with or without American Jewish support but it would be nice to know that you were backing us and not the arabs. What are you American rabbis doing?
20. The tragedy of Gush Katif
Helen Freedman ,   New York, USA   (11.09.06)
The cruel, senseless, and dangerous evaucation of the Jews from Gush Katif, followed by the destruction of their homes and synagogues, reminiscent of the Kristallnacht which we are just commemorating, was intolerable. The siuation has been made even worse by the failure of the Jewish mainstream organizations - the United Jewish Communities/UJC - to address the hardships with which the Gush Katif communities are faced. Instead of funding the needs of their fellow Jews, they are concerned with aiding Arabs in the north who were affected by the war in Lebanon. Add to that the TOTAL FAILURE OF THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT TO FULFILL ITS PROMISES and you have a totally deplorable situation. I thank Aaron Klein for writing such a direct and cogent article about it.
21. Disgusting behavior.
Avraham ,   Netivot   (11.09.06)
What do you expect from left wing liberal democrats? They rather feed the arab hand that bites them. What fools! To turn your back on your brothers & sisters in need is shameful & disgusting.
22. Arab phony Anerica; The Arab occupiers get billionsinwelfare
Daisy ,   USA   (11.09.06)
But of course these barbarians use the money to buy weapons to murder Jews.
23. Christian groups have givenmoremoneythansomeJewish groups
Daisy ,   USA   (11.09.06)
That's sad. No wonder there are more Jewish converts to Christianity everyday. I'm not saying that's a good thing but it's a fact. It seems so evil for Jewish organizations to treat their fellow Jews so bad.
24. daisy duck
American ,   USA   (11.09.06)
you are doing waht is called "projecting"- it is the jew that takes billions of US tax dollars and buys weapons- the ARABS get minimal amount of aid- in the millions- you are such a mirror of ugliness its a joke. oh, and arent you glad we kicked the israelis firster jerks out of office? lolololololooll
25. It shames me how our organizations have failed the evacuees
Nancy Silberman ,   Little Neck, NY   (11.09.06)
Surely something can be done to help these poor Jewish refugees. If the organizations can assist Arabs, then there is certainly no reason for them not to contribute to their Jewish brothers and sisters who are in a very desperate and severe state both mentally, physically, emotionally and financially. That sort of comes with the territory when you tear people's lives apart by kicking them out of their homes and abandoning them. The time has come to lend these individuals a helping hand.
26. Further information in www.katifund.org
Edut Eisenberg ,   Gush Katif for ever!   (11.09.06)
27. check their website www.katifund.org
izzy ,   Ein Tzurim   (11.09.06)
28. The best way to help the GK
Aliza ,   Canada   (11.09.06)
We need to put a lot of pressure on the federation so they will become involved in helping these refugees! help them, adopt a school support needy families! and become a real friend of Gush Katif
29. Us jew federations dont help people, only their left causes
(11.09.06)
30. liberal crimes and criminals
Michael ,   miami,usa   (11.09.06)
we should not be surprised that these leftist self-haters would look to punish Jews who are actually proud enough to fight for Israel. The federations are made up of secular progressives who view a yarmulka as evil, but they would gladly capitulate to every arab/philistilian demand. Love Israel, they do not.
