Washington – The U.S. is sending $47 million in humanitarian aid to the besieged Gaza Strip to help tens of thousands of Palestinians there who have been forced from their homes since war broke out two weeks ago.

A State Department breakdown of the aid that was released Monday said nearly a third of the money – $15 million – will go to the United Nations’ refugee mission in Gaza.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was expected to discuss the aid with U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon in a meeting late Monday in Cairo.
Kerry arrived in the Egyptian capital only hours earlier in a U.S. push to help broker a truce between Israel and the militant group Hamas that controls Gaza.
Without conditions???? Like tell your government to please stop shooting missiles at Israel?
Waiting now for the NYC mayor to fly them in and give them section 8 housing, food stamps and free child care and education
Fool, employed by fools! You cannot give them money. They have been given billions of dollars over the past 9 years. You gave billions to PA. None of that money went to fund schools, hospitals, medical care, or even housing. It went into Iranian rockets, weapons, launchers, and training for terrorists. It went into the construction of elaborate networks of tunnels built – not to bring in supplies to feed the civilian population – but to infiltrate Israel, murder her people, and kidnap soldiers to bargain for its captured terrorists in return. NO! Don’t delude yourselves that you will monitor that the money goes for “humanitarian” anything. It won’t. Hamas never spent on those things. Its only goal and mission is destroying Israel. By offering them money, you are supporting and financing terror. Only the Obama/Kerry regime could come up with this offer. You are disgrace to the moral, civilized world. Shame on you!
Hint: none of this money will be used for Humanitarian purposes.
It will be used to replenish their rockets and weapons to use against Israel. But you already know that Mr. President don’t you……
Obama dear, you’re supporting terrorists. $47 million to build missiles, dig tunnels, manufacturer rockets. Don’t kid yourself – you know where the money will go
Yes, give them money and toss off some of your misplaced guilt. Meanwhile, the y”sh could care less about humanitarian aid; this money will ask be used for missiles
yes , i can imagine where that money is going to
Is he joking? What makes him think any of this money will go to the people who really need it any more than the other billions of dollars sent to the Palestinians for ‘aid’ and really just enriched the pockets of their government officials.
Whatever for???
is he for real???
“A State Department breakdown of the aid that was released Monday said nearly a third of the money – $15 million – will go to the United Nations’ refugee mission in Gaza.”
And the rest of the $47 million will go where? (not that I believe that the 15 Mill will really go to the refugee mission anyway) To purchasing new rockets, that’s where. Thanks a lot USA. This money should not be given until Hamas surrenders completely.
This is very bad,,, on many levels..the USA doesn’t have extra money to help non allies,, these are ppl who elected hamas, and are the victims of their own doings
What are they smoking?! This money is going to go straight to Hamas to further their war effort. Its already been proven that the UN refugee mission is supporting hamas. How they can have the audacity to call this ‘humanitarian aid’ is beyond me. real humanitarian aid would be to help Israel get rid of Hamas.
How much aid did the US give to Jewish citizens of Gush Katif who were forced out of their homes? The so-called Palestinians are facing retribution for forcing the Jews of Gush Katif out of their homes and Israel is suffering for giving Gush Katif away.
Supporting terrorism.
This is outrageous ! I don’t want my tax dollars going to those who voted in hamas! Where are the other arab countries who pretend to acre so much for the well being of Gazans ? Why aren’t THEY sending the aid instead?
Just when Israel started getting rid of the rockets, Obama sends more money so Hamas can restock
As an American tax paying citizen (yes, they still exist) I protest this waste of money!
Give more for the UN so they can hide the rockets and transport the terrorist with their ambulance.
so what will ever deterr them from doing this again if everything will be restored. a chutspa from obama!!
here he goes throwing out our good money again – and right into Hamas hands
what an imbecile
I never said it before, but this president is a shoitah s’beshoitah, I wish we were rid of him already!
He needs to be impeached and then thrown into a rotten stinking cell in Gaza – what a lunatic.
I for one don’t have an issue with the US giving money to Gaza citizens, the complaints here about our tax money is hilarious, did they ask the Arabs before they gave billions to Israel? Heck, did they ask me before giving half of Williamsburg food stamps? I do have an issue however, that this a gain for Hamas, getting all this international support and now money from the US, this does bother me. Fact is Israel is getting more and more isolated, the US is barely an ally anymore.
The money will go for cement to build more tunnels. If they are to get aid it should be foo, clothing and tents, not money.
There is an upper Gaza and a lower subterranean Gaza. All this money will end up in the lower one.
Time to find a new country to live in this is not the same America anymore
Even the French President wouldn’t make such a ridiculous move…
Everybody must call their senators and representatives to protest giving funds to Gaza; we’ve been giving them money all along which they use to stockpile weapons to use against Israel. We must stop this insanity!
I can’t wait to see how Charlie Hall will try to spin this one and justify the stupidity of this administration
The Obama administration new motto should be “we don’t negotiate with terrorists, we support them”
15 for UN which is bogus and who pray tell will deal with the rest? The Hamas Govt. This Obama guy is a moron.
I thought that we were fighting the war on terrorism not with terrorists
Mr. president, you’ve been had.
And what about humanitarian aid to Israeli citizens, especially to the residents of the southern region who are suffering financially and emotionally as they seek shelter from the constant barrage of rockets.
Out with Obama and his friends.We all can see where this president has been giving his help in the last years He helped putting the moslem brotherhood in power in Egypt and has befriended the worst militant muslim groups
I have no respect for our so called Commander in Chief of America… (Pig head to me) Israel has never done this to Gaza at all but GAZA continually comes against Israel as a nation. How would we feel in America if China did this to us in America? Here is Israel the size of New Jersey and Palestine already their own nation called Jordan… Are we in America going to aide Israel for what HAMAS has done toward the people in Israel…? Why is it always the Jews people want to destroy. Look at Hitler; Look at Islam as a religion… why always the Jews – could it possibly be that GOD has HIS HAND upon the JEWS and ISRAEL and SATAN is out to destroy what belongs rightfully to GOD ALMIGHTY… Think about it. Israel came through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob – not Ishmael. God’s word of who Arab nation are: Genesis 16:11-12 and you are to name him Ishmael (‘God hears’), because God has heard your woes. This son of yours will be a wild one—free and untamed as a wild ass! He will be against everyone, and everyone will feel the same toward him… We need to support ISRAEL – not the enemies of Israel.
President Obama is not stupid. He knows full well that this money is going towards Hamas terrorism. This and the fact of all the pressures the Obama administration have been putting on Israel, the FAA ban of flights into Israel, and resistance of the Obama administration of recognizing east Jerusalem as part of Israel are proof that the US is no longer a strong supporter of Israel and is increasingly a supporter of terrorism. This 47m will obviously be used by Hamas to purchase more rockets and rocket launchers to fire into Israel and is worsening the situation. People should start strong protests in front of the white house protesting against the current administrations support of Hamas.
Okay, we know about the $15 million to the United Nothing agency in Gaza. What about the other $32 million? Where is all this money coming from, Barry’s stash, Quantitative Easing? China?
