Obama has pledged $900 million to rebuild Gaza after Israel decimated it earlier in the year. I am not against helping the people of Gaza get their life back in order. I was against Israel’s ridiculous invasion of the territory. The irony is that we give Israel money to bomb the living daylights out of Gaza and then we pay to fix it!

Almost the same thing we do in Iraq: blow up all their infrastructure so that we can rebuild it. Great idea! In a time when we our economy is getting worse by the day, where did we get $900 million for Gaza? Did we cut spending somewhere? The government has no savings. How are we funding this?

“Administration officials said Monday, according to The New York Times, that the aid would not be given to Hamas, which controls Gaza, but would go through nongovernmental organziations.”

I’m also unsure how this is going to happen. If Hamas controls Gaza and you give money to organizations in Gaza, how do you make sure Hamas doesn’t get a hold of some of it?
