U.S. pledges $212 million in additional aid to Palestine You do realize, don't you, that tunnels into Israel are part of their infrastructure.
US tax payers will once again be made to pay for destruction caused by Israel's oppression of non-Jewish Palestinians . Extract : "Six months after the collapse of his Israeli-Palestinian mediation effort, the latest U.S. stab at forging a Mideast peace accord, Kerry renewed his call for a return to negotiations. Kerry praised Egypt for organizing the conference, Israel for pledging to facilitate greater Palestinian economic opportunities and the U.N. for creating a monitoring system so that aid to Gaza isn't plundered by the militant group Hamas or used to threaten the Jewish state's security. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/us-aid-gaza-strip But Kerry said a lasting solution needs to be found and that the world doesn't want to see a return every two years or so to a war in Gaza, a cease-fire and another expensive reconstruction effort. "A cease-fire is not peace," he said. "And we've got to find a way to get back to the table and help people make tough choices." Its a US " Pledge " - many a pledge has in the past not materialized. (wink) Here's more : "Donors Pledge $5.4 Billion to Rebuild Gaza Gulf State Donates $1 Billion to Help Rebuild Gaza Strip “Gaza remains a tinderbox,” said United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, speaking to donors. “Yet we must not lose sight of the root causes of the recent hostilities,” which he blamed on blockades on Gaza by neighboring Israel and Egypt as they try to isolate Hamas http://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-pledges-212-million-to-palestinians-1413107569 Nothing abt the Israel/Palestinian conflict is ever as simple as simpletons would believe it to be. ==== "
