Only 2% Of $5.4 Billion Pledged For Gaza Actually Delivered
[Ynet] Two months after donors pledged $5.4 billion to help rebuild Gazoo after the war between Israel and Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,, Paleostinian, UN and other officials say barely 2 percent of the money has been transferred.
No wonder the UN is demanding more pledges. | Te conference in Cairo had been hailed as a success, with Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates...
promising $1 billion, Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
$500 million and the United States and the European Union

a combined $780 million in various forms of assistance.
Half was expected to go to rebuilding houses and infrastructure in Gazoo destroyed during seven weeks of fighting, and the rest to support the Paleostinian budget.
But of the total, only $100 million or so has been received, according to U.N. and other officials.
How odd. Saudi Arabia has been delivering money to Egypt with alacrity -- why the difference? | While the EU and the United States have accelerated some funding that was already in the pipeline, very few new pledges have come to fruition.
