61. # 30 they have maybe 5 time as much guilt
Ken ,   Switzerland   (02.24.09)
for Israel each year, Would you like to see the Figures? That's something the Swiss are good at haha, great crowd.
62. Hillary's 900 million to Gaza
Bob A. ,   Ny, USA   (02.24.09)
No way should we paying to reconstruct damage brought about because of the actions of the damaged. She needs to call for the complete elimination of Hamas, but that won't happen with President B. Hussein Osama advocating a government inclusive of this terrorist organization.
63. Hillary
USABorn   (02.24.09)
She has to get Congress to approve her 900 million first. The terrosist group Hamas receive funding from Iran, that should do. Why is she even talking about reconstructing Gaza when the bombing of Gaza by Israel is justified. Every rocket they fire at Israel is an act of war. Hey Hillary, the U.S. economy is in a recession (depression). Funding terrorist Hamas is a slap in the face of those who pay for it, the U.S. citizen. The government, both state and federal are raising taxes and cutting wages. Hillaries priorities are screwed up.
64. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE
Jeff Guthery ,   Seoul Korea   (02.25.09)
In the middle of an economic crisis this administration continues to not only heap billions on foreigners who hate America, but to fund terrorism directly. Does anyone really think the Palestinian Authority hates the U.S. any less than Hamas? That this economic aid will be distributed and not interdicted by militants?
65. aid?

GIVE THEM NOTHING.ZERO.NOWT.NIET.ZILCH.NAFF-ALL.That's right,give them absolutely sweet f.a.
66. $900 Million Urgently Needed for U.S. HOMELESS SHELTERS
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (02.26.09)
In October, 2004, the Bowery Mission reported: "The number of homeless people in New York is at its highest since the Depression era." Since that time, the situation has dramatically worsened. People are losing their jobs and homes. Tent cities are springing up in America. The government is living off borrowed money and spending like there is no tomorrow with money we don't have - and freely giving away hundreds of millions of tax dollars whilst Middle Eastern countries possess enormous oil wealth - more than enough money and land to take care of PA Muslims. In U.S., HOMELESS Shelters are filled to capacity. Lisa Ling Goes Inside a Tent City http://www.oprah.com/media/20090218_tows_tent-city US/EU congratulated Israel when Gaza's Jews were cruelly evicted; forced into poverty and made homeless. Many impoverished Jews had to live in tents for a long time. Now Americans who have lost their jobs and are homeless are living in tents. The government is doing absolutely NOTHING to help them - the number of homeless is continually increasing. U.S. government response: $900 million dollars for PA/Hamas terrorists.

67. 66.All this compassion for America's homeless
lydia ,   Brisbane   (02.26.09)
Tell America you won't be collection the $3billion in welfare and they can cut the umbilical cord, so the money instead can help find homes for the needy. Let's spread this jewish hasbara compassion a bit further, almost a million homeless in Germany yet you still collect reparation from them for Hitler's sins. Or is it that your lack of compassion only focuses on the funds set aside for Palestinians who are being annihilated because you covet their land?
68. 900 million israel's fault
elliot ,   usa   (02.26.09)
for leaving hamas standing and even talking truce with terrorists--they should have been destroyed and after that egypt,saudi, us and israelis too could spend to rebuild whatever is needed
69. Your Article on US Aid to GAZA
Barbara ,   Arizona, USA   (03.01.09)
What do you mean "Israel's Offensive"? How about using the term "Israel's Defensive"? Israel did not start any of this war and as an American I do not want my tax dollars spent on rebuilding GAZA. The Arab countries should help their people with their oil profits!
70. 69, 'You break it You Pay for it" As an American,
lydia ,   Brisbane, Australia   (03.02.09)
you should acknowledge the Pottery Barn Rule that Colin Powell invoked about the America invasion. Invade and destroy a country and you own its reparation and rebuilding cost . In other words you pay for your folly.
