Obama authorizes $20.3 mln in aid to Gaza
2009-01-31
(Xinhua) -- The United States will make an emergency contribution of 20.3 million U.S. dollars for humanitarian assistance in the Gaza Strip, the White House announced on Friday.

"The Obama administration today announced an emergency contribution of more than 20 million dollars to relief efforts in Gaza as part of the Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said.

The money will go to UN agencies and the International Committee of the Red Cross, which are distributing in Gaza emergency food assistance, providing medical care and temporary shelter, creating temporary employment and restoring access to electricity and potable water, according to statement by the State Department.

Some 1,400 Palestinians were reportedly killed and 5,500 others wounded in the Israeli aerial and ground strikes since Dec. 27, 2008.

The latest offensive by Israelis was to halt years of Hamas rocket fire on southern Israel.

President Obama needs to do much more. He needs to first cut off all ties with Israel.

Then he needs to give the zionists an ultimatum-leave Palestine and go to Mongolia (the new homeland for the Jews) or we'll bomb you to kingdom come!

Mr. Obama, thanks, but you need to do much more. By the way, Mr. Obama don't listen to these Rantburger, white fascists. I can prove to you Mr. Obama, that the Rantburgers are fascists with pure logic. Here's how:
Rantburgers support zionists (whether they like them or not)
Zionists (and the zionist flag) were the only party officially sactioned by Hitler's Third Reich.

A=B;B=C;A=C thus Rantburgers are indeed fascists.

Please remeber Mr. Obama that zionists and their filthy white, fascist, Rantburger allies are the real enemies of America.

May Allah guide you to Islam, Mr. Obama. Ameen.

#7  The biggest problem is that he's going to "give" the money to the Useless Nitwits and the Red Thingy to distribute. We KNOW the Useless Nitwits are in bed with Hamass, and it's probably true of the Red Thingy, too. The split will be $10 million for Hamass, $10 million in graft and corruption for the Useless Nitwits and the Red Thingy, and $0.3 million for the people of Gaza.

I think I need to go clean the double-barrel.

#6  To be fair, Bush would've done the same.

However, this is a mistake, and
whoever authorizes it should be held accountable.

Hopefully it's a mistake that George Walker Bush could get away with, but not Barack Hussein Obama.

#1  My email to president@whitehouse.gov:


Subject: charity for terrorists

Dear President Obama,

I was horrified to read that your administration has announced over $20 million in aid to the Hamas-controlled Gaza strip.
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2009-01/31/content_10738795.htm

I could not be more unhappy to hear that my tax dollars are being wasted in this way, especially during a time of such financial difficulty here in the USA. Like many Americans, I have lost my job and am struggling to make ends meet.

There is no less worthy recipient for our tax dollars than the Hamas-supporting denizens of Gaza. They have voluntarily (and persistently) chosen the path of terrorism, and war. Perhaps if they had to suffer the consequences of their actions, they will not be so eager to continue pursuing the path of violence... and give peace in the region an opportunity to grow.

Please re-consider this awful, wasteful, and counter-productive decision.

Sincerely,
[Scooter McGruder]
