(02.19.09)
leadership change a must. accountability for the money a must. teach palis how to make a nation rather than destroy another one. change school curriculum. teach education rather than hate and propaganda. otherwise, $$$$ blows in the wind. the west is the dumbest body in the world. vivienne beirut, lebanon
2. aid?
Ilana   (02.19.09)
Let's hope it gets to those civilians who really need it...
3. This way they will have more money for weapons
jason white ,   afula,israel   (02.19.09)
to attack Israel. clinton shows her true colors as she follows sheik obama's orders. The sheik wants to help his fellow muslims. After all his first call to a foreign "leader" was to abu ab-ass. Then a week later he signed a presidental order to give money to settle ham-ass supporters in the U.S.
4. Tell Clinton, No Shalit release, no aid. Stand TALL.

5. The United Nations and donor countries have been...
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (02.19.09)
The United Nations and donor countries have been unintentionally complicit. By subsidizing Palestinian schools, health, and welfare, donors removed the accountability upon which good governance depends. Hamas need not make the improvement of Palestinian life a priority when it knows that donors will bail it out. And, because money is fungible, aid furnishes Hamas with resources to expend on arms.

Sagi ,   Israel   (02.19.09)
The only way aid will get to those who need it in the case of the Palestinians is the following. A popular revolt to oust the terrorist minded leadership. A complete change of ideology. A desire for peace. Complete disenagement from all fundamental and radical elements of Islam. Only when these things happen will the aid not only reach its target but it will no longer be needed.
7. give them the money to build a city in the sinai!
peace for all   (02.19.09)
Israel can annex gaza and peace will reign!
8. It should be in consent with all arab nations.
Hussein Sheikh ,   Saudi Arabia,Jeddah.   (02.19.09)
Pumping millions on charity is a good deed but it should also see that money is reached to needy people. Out of 70 countries atleast 35 representatives should be appointed to check how the funds are routed. In past there has been lot of swindling of funds to terrorists. If hamasgovt continues there should be proper memorandum of understanding among all states which includes no rocket attacks and safety of israeli citizens also getting of gilad shalit back home. The funds should be given in instalments of every 3 months to see the progress.
9. when the hate is spewed, will she sit silently?
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (02.19.09)
or will she object or walk out when the antisemitic/anti-israel venom wafts through the air? we can only hope,but i doubt there is anyone with a hint of a spine in this new american administration.
10. To Secretary of State Clinton: The answer is simple!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (02.19.09)
You want "humanitarian aid" for Gaza and you can have it NOW! Get Hamas to release Gilad Shalit, get Hamas to stop firing on Israel. Get Hamas to stop smuggling weapons in Gaza. Do this, Israel will open the crossing and let in as much aid as their little hearts desire. No Shalit not food! Arafat pulled the wool over President Clinton's eyes. Don't let Hamas or Iran/Syria do the same to you!
11. to #8
Ahmad ,   Jordan   (02.19.09)
Hussein sheikh from Saudi? sorry my friend but thats not ure real name, u're talking from an Israeli settlement. nice try tho
12. Clinton should NOT attend
Brod ,   USA   (02.19.09)
So long as Hamas is still in control of Gaza, Hillary Clinton should not attend this conference. Why should she give legitimacy to a terrorist organization? This will only embolden Hamas.
