Do you have a problem with the US giving 300 million to rebuild Gaza?

Or how about the 600 million to the Palestinian Authority? It seems to me that the current administration has forgotten that we are in bad economic times with this type of gift to repair a war torn area in which we did not send troops. I think we should ask the Palestinian Authority to help rebuild Iraq and ask Israel to help with the war in Iraq to see if they are as willing to help US as we are to help them.

Is this 900 million dollars an attempt by the Obama administration to buy friendship? If it is remember that we have been buying friends in Saudi for years. The plan worked so well that on 9/11 Saudi terrorist took American planes and used them as weapons against innocent civilians.

Update:

Peoples Republic you know where the money will come from. The tax payers will once again get stuck with the tab for something that the government has no right to tax them for. It is another case of taxation without representation.

    I have a problem with the US sending money anyplace right now when we are borrowing from China for this massive stimulus.

    I couldn't believe my ears when I heard Hillary was in Egypt this week promising the 900 million.

    I wish they would spend 900 million to rebuild just one major city in the USA that was in need of a "face-lift". Think about what that would do for jobs and tourism.

    What about spending 900 million on checks sent to all those living in poverty on Social Security. There are seniors eating in soup kitchens and eating cat food as they can't afford meals. Give me a break.

    $300 million just so it can can blown up again the next time Israel wants to beat on the poor bastards living in Gaza. Money shouldn't be going to either group until they act like adults.

    Consider Hamas is getting the money I would say that is a problem.

    Look all the millions Arafat diverted to his own wants and needs.

    This will be a bumper crop for missiles to fire into Israel for them.

    YES I do these people need ethnic cleansing Not new homes. That might be a little extreme but it seems to me That after countless decades of bombing and other nasty acts perpetrated by these folks you'd think the rest of us would figure they are never gonna change and will always just want to kill their neighbors.stop throwing away good money. there are hundreds of homeless in DC BUILD THEM SOME HOUSES if you must throw good money away do it here!

    I have a big problem with aide to terrorists, so yes! Then I also do not believe that we should be helping out any other country until we have taken good care of our own people first!

    We are bankrupt for God's sake!!!

    This isn't the time to be giving a single nickel to anyone, let alone a billion dollars of borrowed money to bunch of fanatics who danced wildly in the streets as 3000 innocent Americans were being slaughtered.

    Yes, a lot of the money will be used to buy rockets to fire at Israel.

    Heck, now Brown is trying to get Obama to help pay off the world's debts. To all the people that laughed when I said we are becoming Zimbabwee, here it comes. Our money will be worthless.

    Hey, we do it all the time. We subsidized Israel's military so they could destroy Gaza, now we're going to help pay to rebuild it.

    Just like Iraq! Pretty neat, how war works that way.
