Rami Abu Ghalyion ,   Cairo-Egypt   (02.22.08)
I wish from the United States and Israel to desistthe policy of starvation against Palestinians,The issue is not in assistance provided here and there,The main issue is to provide real concessions on the ground to help the Palestinian National Authority President,i know This aid plays a big role in reducing the poverty rate between the Palestinians,we All remember the assistance provided to palestinians over 6 years have not achieved any result Especially when Israel involed the palestinian areas,Thats why i am syain There must be political progress at the same time must be Provide economic aids

5. # 3 & 4
lea ,   ca usa   (02.22.08)
you both got it correctly..Why in heck does the US want to give aid to the 'poor' pals if not for fear there soon will be another 9-11? If Obama is elected president,Aghhh the s=t will hit the fan for Israel,G-D hope not!
6. Gaza short on vital supplies
TK ,   USA   (02.22.08)
like potassium nitrate, steel pipes, hydrogen peroxide, acetone, cigarettes, mobile phones and porn.
7. They need weapons to defend themselves.
Shulamit   (02.22.08)
The US should provide them with weapons so Hamas can develop a full army to defeat the occupation.
8. Bush should stop wasting America's money
Brod ,   USA   (02.22.08)
Bush should should stop being manipulated by the Wahhabhists that attacked America on 9/11. And he should stop wasting American Tax Payers' money financing the scum of society in the Middle East. It is time America does not allow itself to wallow in the sinkhole of the cesspool.
9. what about the billions they gave Arafat?
bob ,   potomac and TA   (02.22.08)
Oh, I forgot, he squirreled it away in some bank account, and noow his "widow" lives like a queen. the US should deposit the money DIRECTLY into Switzerland
10. So the U.S. is giving aid to our enemy
jason white ,   afula,israel   (02.22.08)
hajj bush is a real friend,a friend of the terrorists!
11. Bush Funds Terrorism!
MARK ,   USA   (02.23.08)
The War on Terror is Bogus! Bush creates terrorism to have endless wars! 9/11 Was an Inside Job
12. That money will go for weapons!
Mark ,   USA   (02.23.08)
Weapons for Food Program!
13. like pouring money down the drain
kutuzov ,   new york   (02.23.08)
makes you wonder why they would be accepting money from the "great satan." Israel gives them food and electricity, the US gives them money (waste of tax payer dollars). It seems that the great satan and its little cousin are the only ones to actually give a crap about the palis. Where are their wahhabi brethren?
14. Another American betrayal
Frank ,   Canada   (02.23.08)
Money won't be used for the population but to fund Arab terror. US are funding terror and war against Israel.
15. Aid
Pat ,   US   (02.23.08)
With oil around $100 a barrel why do the oil states not provide substantial aid. Doling money via UNRWA is an exercise in waste. PA has no control in Gaza. Hamas gets money from Iran and S Arabia for arms. Money down the tubes. Have they built hospitals created industry/trade? Rice & Bush will not be in office next February. Will Obama be better, or worse ?
16. humanitarian help from u.s.to Western Negev in Israel
orna porat ,   Tel Aviv   (02.23.08)
I am surprised that the u.s. does ot consider at the same time to send humnitarian support to people who suffer from Palestinian Leadership in Israel. No one can believe that people who lived through 5000 missiles falling and exploeding where they live, don't need help!
17. What are the chances of peace?
Jean Van Daem ,   Metula   (02.23.08)
There will not be peace with the Arabs living west of the Jordan because the Arab leaders in the Middle-East are afraid of peace. We should understand why the leaders in the Arab world do not want peace with Israel. Peace and closer relations with Israel means democracy in the Arab countries, improvement of individual freedom for all, freedom of choice as to religion and education in other words the end of the dictatorship, the end of tyranny in the Arab countries first, and then, in the Muslim countries. Can the Saudi King Abdullah accept this ? can Basher al-Assad accept this ? can Mubarak accept this ? can all the petty tyrants of the Arabic Peninsula accept this, or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ? …so let’s be realistic: can peace, indeed, be more than just a dream ? Peace with Israel means, also, the abandondment of Jihad, the abandondment of the conquest of the world by Islam. In order to understand what that means you should consult : http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2007/12/phenomenon-of-radical-islam-or-islamism_4903.html
18. Ugh!!
Cameron ,   USA   (02.23.08)
So Sugar Daddy has to wade yet again across the pathological lake of BS that is the ME with his bags of gold coin? Weary indeed of that sandy, feudal dump.
19. I'm sick of paying for this Death Cult
USA   (02.23.08)
I can't believe the world is appeasing this culture.
20. Oh, shut up, Canada
USA   (02.23.08)
Your country has put eveyone but themselves, including Israel, on a terrorist list and all sorts of other stupid lefty crap. Never do anything but whine and moan all the time.
21. #3- Chickens laid eggs. Pals planted them. No egglants grew
Squalid Ibn Harman ,   Qtir   (02.23.08)
#3- Chickens laid eggs. Pals planted them. No eggplants grew. No hope for PALs
22. #20-I've just fallen in love.
Ypip ,   Canada   (02.23.08)
I can feel it here - inside.
23. Aid to Israel's enemies and American weather
DavidM ,   New England   (02.24.08)
It seems like every time we support Israel's enemies we get bad weather. Why does the Bible say that Jerusalem will become a "cup of reeling' among the nations?
24. Tens of Millions in aid to Gaza
Jim Lobdell ,   The Dalles Oregon US   (04.07.09)
The US should not be sending "tens of millions" in aid to a known terrorist government and only giving $50,000 to our ally Italy for earthquake relief. This is despicable.
