I just read it's going to cost the US 900 million to help re-build Gaza after the recent Jewish attacks.What the fuck?Shouldn't Israel or some of the Arab countries be paying for that?Why the taxpayers of the US?
Agreed. How did we let our government blow up into something that takes our money without asking us, and uses it for things we not only don't approve but are not responsible for. They just hold out their hands and we acquiesce. This used to be a democracy. By the people, for the people. Now it's 'paid for by the people, for somebody else's problems.' Our own problems and priorities be damned.
Yes,and I think ALL foreign aid should be stopped until this country is back in order.It's all a scam ,imo.We send millions,the pricks at the top rip off most of it and we get screwed.We need to start minding our own damn business.I guess it's given mostly so american businesses can rip off the resources of other countries.It's like the phony-ass drug war.Millions and millions down a rat hole and drugs are easier to get than ever.We don't have anything to say about how our money is used.
Whatever happened to us voting? Shit like this should be voted on. I'm poor, I grew up poor. My whole family has always been poor. Grandparents, etc. Why the hell am I working my butt off so they can use MY money to send over there when I can't even afford health care? They're taking money from people that need it and earned it and it's downright irresponsible.
'U.S. plans to pledge $900 million for Gaza' - Haaretz - Israel News US pledging $900 million to rebuild Gaza
Why do we have the authority to circumvent elected officials in foreign countries?... Oh wait, we're the United States of America... We just dont give a fuck.
Ah, so it looks like it's in USAID. Well, that's not a big shocker. USAID provides $30 million to end human trafficking per year through the US Agency of International Development. I mean, that's what USAID is for, to pledge aid money to developing countries in need. $900 million is a large sum for just one country though. Sounds like they wouldn't do it if they weren't getting something back in return.
I don't think anyone should pay to rebuild an area that the Palestinians and their elected leaders Hamas are responsible for damaging.Besides Hamas in itself probably have billions of dollars,let them spend it on something besides weapons that attack innocent people.I'm sick of hearing about the Palestinians, and most of the World is sick of hearing about the Palestinians.They are not even worth talking about on an internet forum.
We should tell Israel they can have a huge chunk of west Texas.They'd turn that god-forsaken place into a garden. No more harassment from their fool neighbors.
I thought that Gaza was Iran's bitch. Why are we trying to out-bribe the mullahs? The last time we sent over so much money it ended up in Yaser Arafat's private bank account in France.
Public records show that USAID has long been a front for CIA intelligence gathering, as well as a conduit for CIA funding to foreign governments and agencies. Click here to download pages 607 to 613 of the CIA Family Jewels document describing "joint CIA/USAID training program" (650k) In 1973, the U.S. Agency for International Development, or AID, teamed up with the CIA to train foreign police forces about bomb-making. The course was conducted in Washington, D.C., and Dade County, as it was then called. From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Jewels_(Central_Intelligence_Agency) This money is going to help "rebuild Gaza?" Suuuuurrre. USAID also helped in the radicalization of the Muslim world by financing radicalism via the funding of Muslim education during the 1980s. According to Dr. Stanley Monteith:
After reading the article again, I see nothing that mentions USAID being involved in this $900 million to Gaza.
