I see we’re sending another $47 million to Gaza, supposedly to the UN’s mission there, for “humanitarian aid.” There’s some bitter humor.
Our political elite, who do their own thieving of public funds, certainly know the UN isn’t trustworthy and that Hamas will skim their cut right off the top.
Unless they just skip the skim and pocket the top and all the rest of it. Why else would there be 38 percent poverty and 40 percent unemployment in Gaza, concrete-walled fighting tunnels and thousands of rockets?
Not to mention private jets and luxury living for the Hamas leadership?
UPDATE: Our idiot secretary of state, Lurch himself, made the decision to give the money. Quite a kitty he has charge of, eh? He is a genuine fool. He also seems to be behind the banning of airline flights to Israel, though I think that has more sense to it and underscores that there must be no ceasefire until and unless Hamas and its rockets are neutered—which will require many more dead and wounded on both sides. It should never have come to this.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
Dig them out and hammer them!
I’m with sennacherib. Hit ’em hard. Hard enough so that they think more than twice about throwing any rockets again. And I don’t give a damn how hard that hit is. Search and Destroy was my favorite, in Nam. Kill everything living. Burn all houses and crops. I wish I was healthy enough to do it again.
IDF certainly needs to be unbending, and with so many dead soldiers, they have the incentive to be so. But my guess is the FAA ban was Obama-driven and will be used as a club to get Israel to accept Hamas conditions for a ceasefire, when Hamas is ready. Hope not, but don’t trust Wormtongue or Lurch one bit.
JD,
“Kill everything living. Burn all houses and crops”. In my heyday we called that going full assyrian on them!
“full assyrian” – I shall remember that one. Sounds cool.
