Clinton warns Israel over delays in Gaza aid.
Haaretz ^ | 25/02/2009 | Barak Ravid and Avi Issacharoff

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has relayed messages to Israel in the past week expressing anger at obstacles Israel is placing to the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip. A leading political source in Jerusalem noted that senior Clinton aides have made it clear that the matter will be central to Clinton's planned visit to Israel next Tuesday.

Ahead of Clinton's visit, special U.S. envoy to the Middle East George Mitchell is expected to issue a sharply worded protest on the same matter when he arrives here Thursday.

"Israel is not making enough effort to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza," senior U.S. officials told Israeli counterparts last week, and reiterated Washington's view by saying that "the U.S. expects Israel to meet its commitments on this matter."

Israel and Gaza go to war...

American taxpayers are forced to give 900 million to Gaza.

Why?

Irony.....

Hillary Tells Israel that we are dissappointed that you are not doing more for your enemy. This is after reports of Muslims demanding that Israel stop treating injurred Muslims in Israeli hospitals.

Don’t you remember the Clintons entertaining the Arafats at the WH when Bill was President? What does that tell you?

"Israel is not making enough effort to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza," senior U.S. officials told Israeli counterparts last week, and reiterated Washington's view by saying that "the U.S. expects Israel to meet its commitments on this matter."

So exactly how much are Iran, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, et al, doing to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza. Why isn't the United States demanding an answer to that question? (Note: providing arms and money for arms to Hamas does not count as humanitarian aid.)

When Arafat died you might remember the big fight over his estate worth some 800 million - in a country where the average income is a few hundred dollars and a guy that had no job.

It was all our money.

Israel might as well sever all ties to the USA at this point. They are totally alone in the world.

My guess is that the American jewish community could not care less what happens in Israel.

Hillary and Obama are their heroes no matter what.

Leftist jews in the US have never given a damn about Israel. Power, wealth...these are their only concerns, just like every other self-serving democrat.

Didn't Obama promise to keep supporting Israel during the campaign? Oh yeah, the only promises I can think of that he keeps, are promises to spend, cut defense, and tax.

So Hamas can buy atomic weapons to use on Israel. Makes sense...
