Financial aid to Gaza Strip

Hillary Clinton is expected to announce that the U.S. will offer more than $900 million in aid to help rebuild Gaza after the Israel military strikes. The money will be distributed through the UN and other bodies and will not be distributed by Hamas. This is a dramatic increase from the $85 million promised by former President Bush.

This story is still new and details haven't been released, but let me see if I understand this correctly. We sell Israel weapons, help train their military, and now we are going to rebuild what they blew up? You can't give Wile E. Coyote the tools to catch the Road Runner, and then fix the mountain side every time he paints a tunnel on it. The Coyote needs to be told to clean up his own mess.

It seems the U.S. is trying to maintain good foreign relations with two countries that hate each other. If the Obama administration disapproves of Israel's actions, it needs to do more than just clear some rubble.
