CAIRO (AP) A donor conference in Cairo to raise money for Gaza after this year's war between Hamas and Israel ended with pledges of $5.4 billion, half of which will be "dedicated" to the reconstruction of the coastal strip, Norway's foreign minister said Sunday.
Kerry pushes for Mideast peace, Qatar pledges $1 billion for Gaza Reuters Norwegian Foreign Minister Borge Brende offered the figure at the end of Sunday's one-day conference, far beyond the $4 billion initially sought by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

A fool and his money are soon parted.
To have voted for the Obamadork at any time in his sorry life was a sure indication of idiocy coupled with the inability to choose wisely.
You are forgiven on the promise that you keep your silly @ss out of voting booths in the future.
But not a dime for the besieged Kurds of Kobane.
They are just not fortunate they don’t have the Jews for an enemy.
Oops, Ipad error.
Wrong blog.
Mea culpa.
The poor Palistinians have to rebuild all those tunnels the nasty Jews tore up. Then they have to re-supply all those rockets they shot into Israel. That costs a lot of money.
Is it political extortion, or do the donors actually care about the common person in Gaza? And, how much of the money will go to rebuilding the terrorists tunnel infrastructure?
Tunnels. Rockets. And whatever is left over? Swiss bank accounts.
I think you’ve got the order reversed. Most of the money will be looted, but some will be saved for terrorism.
It’s blood money. Especially, because those behind the terror pretty much plan for this payoff in advance, while doing the inciting, but not the fighting and dying.
Let’s see how much of that $5.4 billion pledged is actually given.
My bet is that it will be only a fraction,and that this is for show.
You may well be correct.

WHY? That little strip of land?
Eh Gad. Spend the money developing the US.
It will just get blown up again.
These people want to KILL their neighbors.
Why are we giving them anything?
A two-fer, kill jews and destroy Americas money at the same time! Win-win for the Muslim Brotherhood Commander in Cheif.
