#1 I quite agree. There is a *steady* flow of muslim charities money pouring into Gaza (the EU funding mostly the PA), channeled primarily through the Hamas-related humanitarian orgs. Still, all this has negligible effects because its main intent is to fuel terror and strenghten the holy men's influence, not too really improve the situation.

#2 Brother arabs are obviously not helping them out.

#3 Good point, bernardz. Might be good if instead of constantly whining about the plight of their so-called Palestinian brothers that they actually do something about it. And funding suicide bombers next of kin don't count.

#4 Lest we forget, the Saudi royals are sponsoring 1,000 relatives of Palestinian martyrs at the Haj this week. Perhaps they should have sent food instead.

#7 We missed our chance. We shudda chipped in for one-way tickets to the Haj for these poor folks and let the Soddy's show them the traditional Arab hospitality.
Wudda killed two birds with one stone, no?

#8 Reaping what they've sowed, there's simply no other way to put this. They had their chance 2.5 years ago, coulda got 95% of what they wanted, things were going good, but then...well, when you go along with hotheads, fools, and corrupt morons this is what you get. And where ARE the Arab brothers? Not like they're short on cash. They certainly have plenty for madrassas, AK's and C4. As if more evidence was neeeded (not), once again the "brothers" are shown for what they are...The Saudis, Libyans, Iraqis, Iranians, gulf states, all the ones with the petrodollars could give a crap about the Palestinians. Never have, never will.
