1. America is cursed
Marcel ,   Florida   (12.14.07)
After all the Palestinians have done to prove their intent to destroy Israel the US continues to keep this evil entity afloat and restrains Israel from defeating this growing threat to the Jewish people. America ,you have brought a curse upon yourself. HaShem Blesses those who Bless Israel, and Curses those who curse Israel. The Road Map is a curse on ISRAEL and you Mr.president are cursed in everything you put your hands to do.

8. Xtains corruption and cronyism
ben ,   singapore   (12.15.07)
The Baal Shem Tov taught there are two paths: G-dliness is everything. Everything is G-dliness. Where the two paths converge, there is G-d Himself. Xtain have always played a majot role in the distruction of Jerusalem, by conquest,political intervention an d 500 million will not benefit the Civilain Pal but will go into the pockets of the Terrorist.George Bush must know that this path is not a good path and not a path to win their American face that was lost in Sept 11. Israel dont trust the Xtians !

It will all go for buying weapons , distruction, distability and further turmoil between Pals and Israeli.The American s want turmoil in Med East- FUEL FUEL FUEL !!!!! XTAINS want JERUSALEM!!!!! Arabs want AUTONOMY, IN TOTAL THEY WANT YISRAEL TO BE SLAVES, NEVER LET THAT HAPPEN AGAIN!!!!!! THESE CONDOLEEZZA, BLAIR, BUSH are a bunch of necromansers...dont do the same mistake the King Saul did in his life time. Consulting Necromansers.
10. where ar $ billions ?
Yohanan   (12.15.07)
Giving Arabs more money is sheer stupidity. Arabs have Billions more they spend in centuries (oil... ). Where are Arafat Billions? Only interest on his money adds to $ hundreds of millions every year.
11. Let PA stop terror and work for peace first. They still have
arthur ,   jersey city usa   (12.15.07)
Let pa stop terror and work for peace first. Let them change the educational system stop training children to hate and kill. Let them stop terror Let them build confidence. If the roadblocks are removed Israelis will die, we've been here many times before. If the pa stopped terror and lived in peace the economy would boom. What about billions stolen by arafat,fayyed and abbas?
12. they can kill a lot of people with 500 million bucks
jack bauer   (12.15.07)

KMR ,   Middle East   (12.15.07)
.... millions of those citizens would be thankful & loyal to US for ever....
14. $500 Million for Americans
Brod ,   USA   (12.15.07)
Bush should spend the $500 million on Americans instead of wasting it on Islamist-Jihadists who danced when they saw their fellow Wahhabhist Saudi thugs destroy the Twin Towers and incinerate 3000 Americans in cold blood on 9/11.
15. Rewarding Terror
Brod ,   USA   (12.15.07)
My questions to Bush and Rice is: didn't the wolves dance on 9/11? Why reward terror? Why not use the $500 million to improve Amercan lives? America can do better than this crap.
16. 500 Mil to the PA
Reed ,   Phoenix, Arizona   (12.15.07)
As an American Citizen, I am disgusted with our government. They continue to give tax payer money to a group of people that hate us. The U.S. will never learn.

adam   (12.15.07)

They want to kill all Christians,Jews and others non believers,they blow Your Cities,kill Your citizens...will behead all of you ,they Praise Hitler,they want You all dead and you ignorent dummies give them millions? For what?Why? Dont you realize that Muslims Hate you and will be always against You? I pray to God to start to feel it ASAP and to Blow London,Paris,Washington,Rome and the rest of Terror Suporting Stupid Europe and USA!
19. Saying "militants" or terrorists?
Wallace Edward Brand ,   Alexandria, VA USA   (12.15.07)
You say: "Israel's military has been reluctant to remove some of the hundreds of roadblocks and barriers in the West Bank, saying they're an effective tool against Palestinian militants, and the Palestinian government does not have sufficient control over the territory to prevent attacks on Israelis." Did they really say "militants" or is your paper starting to write like the NY Times?
20. Cynic
leon ,   Grand Rapids USA   (12.15.07)
You're wrong. The Swiss banks will account for it (privately).
21. Insanity.
Petra ,   usa   (12.15.07)
Whatever happened to sanctions? With 'friends' like Bush Israel has no friends with the USA. How about with holding all funds to the PA until they stop firing missles into Israel?
22. No more money for the PA
JG ,   US   (12.15.07)
500 million? That can go a long way in New Orleans instead of Gaza.
23. Be sure$$shrinkwrapped on pallets like US delivered to IRAQ
Then $$ disappeared! ,   Alan SA   (12.15.07)
24. is quite possible
(12.15.07)

25. The US are a burden for Israel
Frank ,   Canada   (12.15.07)
They must stop funding terror
26. Saddam Only Gave 30 mil. per year
(12.15.07)
27. pledge.
colin   (12.15.07)
So now the fatah are garenteed finance for the next intefada.The americans give them money for arms and ammunition.Bush must keep them active against Israel This keep condi out of his busines dealing with the arab oil.
28.  Bush adm to pledge 500 M in aid.
Sruly ,   Israel   (12.16.07)
Most of the aid in the past went to Arafats pockets and to the Hamas & Fatah Terrorist. Time and time again this has been the results of giving money to terrorist no matter what they call themselves. when will the US learn or are the politicians so insensitive to the loss of Jewish life because it is only Jewish life. Israeli politicians are a lot worse since they do not stand up and reject these crazy ideas of Bush and his Queen of Sheba. It seems that we are only pawns in the oil game with the Arabs. And soon it could get worse if the US elects a half Christian half Muslem to the White House If Israelis dont start speaking up and the American Jewish community such as it is does not recognize the situation. All we have left is all we ever had HASEM and Bring Moshach NOW.
29. US is the problem, not the solution
Andras Bereny ,   Kfar Tapuah, Samaria   (12.23.07)
witout US "backing" Israel could win the war
