Money pledged to rebuild Gaza - I'm confused

NIMAN · 2014-10-12 20:53:10

So the USA has pledged $250,000,000 to the fund to rebuild Gaza. This after arming the Israeli's, who used US arms to flatten large sections of Gaza. So the US taxpayers are being stung for 250mill, whereas if they didn't give Israel free arms, then they wouldn't have to pay anything. How does this all work?:rolleyes: Are…

Israel has stated it will donate 50 bulldozers. Unfortunately, they'll be delivered directly on top of Palestinian homes.

Air-dropped from the sky.

The money is going to abbas not hamas who were voted in by the majority

Hamas are hardline. Abbas is the minority party which are more marginalised.

Been the same for years all going back to the oslo accord.

They back the fringe parties with money then say that they wont negotiate until they bring hamas to heel.

Retarded.

Relax - the money will go into the pockets of super rich people running huge American para-military-security/construction type companies.
