The United States on Monday announced a $50 million aid program for Gaza, reports The Associated Press (AP).

American officials quoted by the news agency said that the money will be used over five years to provide basic humanitarian assistance and create jobs in the coastal enclave.

The money will be distributed by the U.S Agency for International Development in partnership with Catholic Relief Services.

The U.S. Consul General in Jerusalem, Donald A. Blume, said the effort is meant to address "the dire needs that are obvious in Gaza", according to the AP report.

Gaza's economy has sharply declined since Hamas took over the coastal territory from its longtime rival Fatah nearly a decade ago. Unemployment there is estimated to be over 40 percent.

That's what happens when 90%+ of the aid money they get is spent on weapons and building tunnels to transport them.

So what does Obama do? Give them more money to buy more weapons to kill more Israelis, of course.

More terror gang attack tunnels and murder assaults on innocent infidels. Obama continues to build up international Muslim attack forces with American taxpayers’ money. And our sell- out Congress continues to let him get away with it

Daggum. We just keep on giving to everybody else around the world. Seriously, we need to get our own house in order and balance the budget. D*mn. Would that I could financially afford to support my extended family and those I love - well, NOT those who make poor financial decisions. Somebody needs a rude awakening - a “come to Jesus meeting,” per se.

Obama wants to make of the USA what Jerry Sandusky is to college football.
