Gazans Hope U.S. Leader Pushes Israel to Relax Grip - washingtonpost.com: "BEIT LAHIYA, Gaza Strip -- Majid Jumeh's house, damaged by the Israeli army during a three-week war in January, is down to a kitchen, a bathroom and a bedroom, his eight-member family jammed into those bits of livable space wrapped around a rubble pile.
'We are living in a corridor and a bedroom,' said Jumeh, 46, who before the war had a steady income from a grocery -- also destroyed, he said -- and a roomy house. 'We used to be at a good level. Now look at us.'
The United States, Saudi Arabia and other countries have pledged more than $5 billion in aid for Gaza's reconstruction. But no repairs have been made to Jumeh's house or thousands of other war-damaged buildings because Israel refuses to permit construction materials into the 25-mile-long seaside strip as long as it is under the control of the Islamist movement Hamas. "
I do not think that the United States should be giving aid to any country that supports terrorism at all.
