WASHINGTON — President Obama promised a $400 million aid package for the West Bank and Gaza on Wednesday, as the United States scrambled to come up with a way out of the stalemate in the Middle East exacerbated by the Gaza flotilla incident last week.

Unbelievable!!

[Sybeck1]

From his stash?

[Ancient Drive]

He should be pledging those 400 million dollars to the oil spill cleanup...

They are claiming that the money will go for housing and schools. Housing for mortar shells and schools for terrorism.

[Ancient Drive]

yup.

[missnry]

Fine! Take it all out of your book sales Barack!!

[Obadiah]

They are claiming that the money will go for housing and schools.

I have no doubt that our money will go for housing and schools. Look for the house and schools to surround Hamas offensive rocket and mortar positions.

[Dogbert41]

Another reason to quit paying taxes to this despicably immoral government.

Housing....oh really?

Good one.
All this garbage about “humanitarian” aid is just that.
Given their history, the palestinians are just arming up for a new offensive against Isreal, just like they do during the cease fires.

It takes money to push people into the sea. Fortunately, Obama’s got a boatload! [/s]

Between 2008 and today the world has given the Palestinians $7.7 billion. I want a COMPLETE accounting as to where that all went before I’d give them another dime.

... so lemme get this straight ... we have declared Hamas a terrorist organization. Hamas is in charge of Gaza and we are giving money to Gaza? Wake me up when its all over.

[RickB444]

The only aid we should be giving the Palestinians is to help them get out of Jewish lands. Other than that we should treat them like the terrorists they are.

[cubreporter]

take away our health care and give millions to the palestinans? What is he NUTS?

[nj patriot]

I am confused. Helen Thomas said exactly what Hamas has been saying for years. The Jews need to get the hell out of Palestine and go back to Germany, Poland or the US. Helen gets the bums rush and Hamas gets $ 400 million.

We got what we elected. A man-child who never ran a business and always used other people's money for the “community”. He's the most inexperienced person in whatever room he enters..and I'll include McDonalds.
He's a socialist and he told everyone so when he campaigned. So now that he's doing exactly what he said he would, everyone is astounded.
Bullcrap!
