1. Let them waste their money. Rockets start up we will destroy
Jacky   (10.12.14)
it all again.
2. Hamas wants to keep missiles.Gaza will be knocked down again
Sam ,   Canada   (10.12.14)
Donations are just insurance money that Arab terrorists should not attack donors.Hamas wants to keep its missiles for only one purpose - to attack Israel. So, this money too will just go down the drain.
3. More supplies to build more tunnels to kill more Jews
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA   (10.12.14)
4. If the Palestinians move to the Sinai Peninsula, the funds
Rivkah   (10.12.14)
collected could be used to build that as a de-militarized homeland for the Palestinians since President Al Sisi of Egypt offered that to the Palestinians as a homeland.
5. Outrages
sheik rattle & roll ,   USA   (10.12.14)
How dear my government piss away US tax dollars. We have American cities in major trouble and they want to aid a terrorist group rebuild until the next war, that will happen within 2 years. We are no longer needed or wanted in Israel and Hamas consider us an enemy and we consider them a terrorist organization. We need to pivot fast back to America and save our billions.
6. all donors can pat themselves on the back
CJK   (10.12.14)
they have deflected attention from the jihadists of the world for a day or two. yet, it is already being reported that once again isis has used suicide bombers to murder kurds in diyala province and used an ied to murder the police chief of northern anbar province. however much obama and the europeans try to pretend that blaming jews for the continued slaughter perpetrated by jihadists world wide, it remains a fact that the islamist terrorists will continue their attempt to dominate the middle east and impose their death cult. europeans and soon americans will not live in peace as long as their leaders refuse to defeat the most substantial threat to western civilization since wwii.
7. appeasement policies only embolden islamists
CJK   (10.12.14)
helping build gaza civilian structures will not prevent the islamists from attacking either israel or the west.
8. Islamic terror does not come cheap...
Beary White ,   Oslo   (10.12.14)
... Not only money, but also torture and killings is part of the cost of this deadly global ideology. And the world will never understand that terror is on of the pillars of the "peaceful"l ideology..the terror from groups based from the islamic cult will never disappear.
9. VERY GENEROUS!
IRANIAN JEW ,   LA USA   (10.13.14)
The money will actually never leave any of the gulf banks. All purchases will get done there and the little that is sent to Gaza will be in form of guns. They think sitting around and talking big money is going to change anything. There will be another war once there is enough rockets.
10. Boy I seem to remember these are the same people who asked a
terror group to ,   lord over them.   (10.13.14)
To hell with reconstruction we won't in the US next month be voting for anyone who supports Islamist like obummer does. Phonies need not run! John Kerry aka dumbass, quit. Treason is still a hanging offence here.
11. Promising is one thing
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.13.14)
Paying is another. This has happened before. The EU is dead broke. So is Turkey. We'll see.
12. Mafia payment
m   (10.13.14)
What a lovely war, this is parnassa. Do we meet again next year same time?
13. Compare
Jake ,   Haifa   (10.13.14)
What is raised for Ebola, for the refugees of Syria, for the refugees of the Congo, for polio eradication. This dwarfs them all - it is bizarre, almost surreal that an anti western population, actually a population that despises the West, should raise over a billion dollars from the West at a time the poor of the West are increasing and measures to stop Ebola are under funded. What produces this incredible, insane love of the Gazans? Could it be hatred of Israel subliminated? That is the only psychological explanation.
14. WAR PAYS
,,,DACON9   (10.13.14)
bet he is planning the next war for more money
15. A pledge is not hard cash, the terrorist entitiy in gaza
A ,   Belgium   (10.13.14)
will receive empty promises only whilst terrorist chief Abbas willl have only empty pockets (and millions in hidden Jordanian bank accounts) to show for all of his efforts to embezzle the world while he pads his pension fund.
16.  Donations
Mat ,   Uk   (10.13.14)
All countries should not donate any money unless there are guarantees and conditions from UN EU Palestinians US Hamas most of all that no rockets will be fired into Israel in future this is how the wars start with Gaza wishful thinking
17. $ 5.4 Billion
tiki ,   belgium   (10.13.14)
Abbas & Sons must feel elated all the way to the (Swiss) bank. Whatever (pledged) money will come in, it won't come to the benefit of the ordinary 'citizen of that non existent State, but will end up in the pockets of their money grabbing leaders. Arab dictatorships (except Qatar) won't commit to their commitments anyway, so the usual real patsies are Western taxpayers who have not been asked if their elected leaders are authorised to let their hard earned money flow away through Palestinian tunnels or blow away through Palestinian rockets. But at least the Palestinian Golden Calf has been fed again by the impotent leaders of the world.
18. nothing and something
(10.12.14)
Nothing for the black victims of Boko Haram. Nothing for Christians fleeing their homes in Egypt, Syria and Iraq. Nothing for Yazidi, Kurds, Druze raped, kidnapped, enslaved, crucified or beheaded. But 5.4 billion for the "palestinians" just because they want to genocide the Jews. Someone wants to finish what they started in the Second World War real badly. Simply disgusting.
19. Pal. Perfidy deserves 'Monopoly Money'
Roland ,   london England   (10.13.14)
20. Thugs thanks
olavi ,   esbo, finland   (10.13.14)
90 % of this money, whether it is delivered will go to the elite gangs of PA. They are unable to construct anyting to their people.
21. Pledge
Ezra ,   Florida   (10.13.14)
I pledge to "donate" to Gaza all the money and all the assets that I, all my family and the rest of the Iraqi Jews have left behind, when we fled Iraq. You will get every penny of it if and when it ever materialize. So how about that, Gazans, Kerry and Obama?
