Of course, we're pretending that the money will go to rebuild homes and businesses. But everyone above the age 5 knows what the money is really buying.
From Reuters:
Out of this conference must come not just money but a renewed commitment from everybody to work for peace that meets the aspirations of all, for Israelis, for Palestinians for all people of this region," Kerry told the conference.
"And I promise you the full commitment of President Obama, myself and the United States to try to do that," he said.
At the conference Kerry also announced an additional $212 million in U.S. aid to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, which was badly damaged during a conflict with Israel in July and August in which 2,100 Palestinians died, most of them civilians.
An estimated 18,000 homes and vital infrastructure were destroyed in the seven-week war. The Palestinians have put the cost of reconstruction at about $4 billion over three years.
Qatar said it would provide $1 billion in reconstruction assistance for Gaza, while fellow Gulf Arab states Kuwait and United Arab Emirates promised $200 million each.
Germany on Sunday also announced it would contribute 50 million euros ($63 million) to reconstruction efforts in Gaza.
"We can't allow the people in Gaza to sink into despair," German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said in a statement. The British ambassador to Egypt, John Casson, told Reuters London would provide $32 million for reconstruction.

That’s a lot of ketchup!
Payments to Hamas by Obama would be a violation of against funding terrorists and a violation of the Constitution as it would be an expenditure without congressional approval.

The Kurds aren’t eligible for Obama’s generosity. In their case, he can’t stick it to Israel.
by what authority does Kerry/Obama keep giving our money away to our enemies?
1. what Congressional appropriation, specifically, authorizes this?
2. and why to our enemies (instead of keeping the money here at home, or giving it to our friends and allies)? why fund our sworn enemies?
just asking.
“We can’t allow the people in Gaza to sink into despair”
why yes, yes we can.
To me, this looks like Obama is leading a proxy war against Israel.
Clown Prince nobama continues his traitorous and lawless ways.
