Obama Authorizes $20 Million in Aid to Gaza Palestinians
Voice of America ^ | 1/30/09 | VOA News

Posted on 01/30/2009 10:10:37 AM PST by Bloody Sam Roberts

A U.S. official says President Barack Obama has authorized more aid to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip to help them recover from damage caused during a recent Israeli offensive.

U.S. Middle East envoy George Mitchell said Friday in Jerusalem that Mr. Obama has approved $20 million in emergency food and medical assistance for Gaza.

Fighting may cause more setbacks

Mitchell says it is important to consolidate a durable and sustainable cease-fire between Israel and Gaza's Hamas rulers while immediately addressing Gaza's humanitarian needs. He also says fighting in the region may cause more setbacks to peace efforts.

Mitchell says Washington remains committed to, "actively and aggressively seeking a lasting peace between Israel and its Arab neighbors."

US envoy meets with Israeli opposition leader

The U.S. envoy continued his first official tour of the region Friday by meeting with Israeli opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem. Mr. Netanyahu is a front-runner in the race to become Israel's next prime minister after elections next month.

I sure as hell didn’t doubt it. I just didn’t expect him to do it in his very first week in office.

His ego and arrogance is stunning. Almost....Satan-like.

Yeah, but Hussein will be ‘taking down’ the whole country right along with him.

You’ve know for years I thought that was stupid on the part of the Bush administration.

Hilarious times over at LP these days, AuntB.....see the tag line.

I knew he was going to move quickly, but even I am a little taken aback at HOW quickly.

Obama figures he can buy their affections, just as he bought the Presidency! He’s only refunding their contributions to his campaign...

We should start the betting now...
In about a year (or less even), I fully expect to see an expose detailing how 50% of these funds were used to supply the terrorists with guns, ammo, and missiles vs. food & water, etc... (The article will probably appear in an Israeli or European Paper as we know the American media won’t touch this).

Our money and we get no say so. Serves us right for not standing up and speaking out when we could have.

“Obama Authorizes $20 Million in Aid to Gaza Palestinians”

I wonder how many M-4 Carbines and L.A.W.s’ Obama is sending to his brothers?

Supposedly it's 20 million in "emergency food and medical assistance". Even if that's true, those supplies are negotiable assets.
