[Submitted to TLS by Dr. Rich Roberts] Secretary of State John Kerry announced that the U.S. is giving $47million of humanitarian aid to the residents of Gaza while the U.S. has halted airplane flights to Israel. So the U.S. is supporting a people who elected a terrorist government while cutting off tourist revenue to a democratic government of free people who are defending themselves against terrorism. Once again, the current U.S. administration has it backwards.
Decisions have consequences. By giving $47million to the residents of Gaza, the U.S. is showing that a people can elect a terrorist government and then the U.S. will ease the consequences of their decision. But when that terrorist government targets the airport of a free democratic people then the U.S. will cut off flights to that free country thereby denying it tourist revenue. And even worse, the U.S. is giving the $47million to UNWRA who just last week found Hamas missiles in one of its facilities in Gaza so they returned those missiles to the terrorist group Hamas. The $47million will be used to ease the burden of the terrorists, and the terrorist government in Gaza, thereby prolonging the rein of this terrorist group.
Here is the solution.
The United States should tell Hamas that we will buy their missiles for $47million of humanitarian aid. Let the government of Hamas, and the people of Gaza, decide if they want missiles or if they want our financial aid. And if the people of Gaza decide that they want our aid then there won’t be missiles to launch at Israel’s airport so flights can resume and we can stop punishing the only true democracy in the Middle East.
The U.S. must stop supporting terrorism now. The American people do not want to support terrorism. President Obama and Secretary Kerry should stop giving away money so freely, that they did not earn, in support of terrorism and to the detriment of America’s democratic ally.

100% agree. Thanks Dr
reason will get you nowhere
I suspect that the FAA decision was more than just influenced by a certain powerful person whom, although he doesn’t work in their offices, they always have to answer to his authority.
The fact is, that this is the best and most sensible win-win idea suggested thus far, and will do much to cease further bloodshed on both sides. If this administration still refuses to make this offer to the PA / Hamas, they then continue to be enablers to the offending terrorists and the resulting loss-of-life consequences.
The real question is; Is stopping the killings the real goal of Obama’s Administration, or is there a different objective he wants to accomplish??
heres the thing – Hamas doesnt care about the citizens of Gaza. If they did, they wouldnt use them as human shields. Therefore, they have no need for humanitarian aid. Furthermore, what do you think Hamas will do with the extra money? exactly. They will use it to further their terrorist agenda. However, this plan is a better alternative than just handing them 47 million alone.
Some good points made. But how will this effect anything? Is there anything practical to do other than talking about it?
Its just a waste of words. Obama is a failure. Kerry is a failure. Their ideas are worthless. And all the talk in the world wont do a thing.
just take a look at the luxurious lives the Hamas leaders are living….
thats where this $$ is going. NOT to the people of gaza.
Exactly David.
Dr. Roberts is a smart man!
Dr. Roberts
Good points, But i think you should speak to all those politicians that you invite to your home and tell them to act on what you wrote here on TLS and stop funding terrorists
They shouldn’t give gaza another cent even if they stop. Why do they deserve any money? They don’t contribute to the world in any way except for terror. They don’t want peace.
Dr’s order
Israel gave Hamas $49 million of reperation money after Cast Lead. They likely used that money to purchase more rockets. And during this war the Israelis have been humanitarian. As such, I respectfully disagree with you, Dr. Roberts. The people of Gaza know that they can get both, so this offer would be worthless.
I think the Jewish world should start investing in the media business this way we can get the word out ,just like these terrorists are doing
CNN and other news stations are funded by Arabs they are using stations to influence the entire world to be on their side
Dr.Roberts my idea would be for Isreal to spend its own money so it would be able to cut off the supply by being the leading purchaser for the rockets. USA can use the humanitarian cash to feed their own impoverished citizens and I stand with you on the fact that the US has the wrong people leading our great nation. They’re steering us right into the dirt at this rate.
They say “Israel will win because of the IDF. Because of its excellent commanders and dedicated soldiers. There is no other army like the IDF. Its power is great. Its equipment is advanced. Its values are clear.
The country is proud of its army. The people love the army. The nation trusts it.”
We Say אין לנו על מי לסמוך אלא על אבינו שבשמים
How is it possible not to notice the clear Yad Hashem and Hashgachah Pratis in Eretz Yisroel.
We must keep Davening and pleading to Hashem to keep Klal Yisroel safe in Eretz Yisroel and Around the globe.
Gantz Klal Yisroel, Please lets get together and storm the gates of Shomayim to bring the Geula that every single one of us so Desperatly Needs
All is good , but if we would not see what’s going in Israel then we would be considerate blind but because we see wants happening in isreal is great , but in that case we just have to pray and understand it’s in god hands and just daven and cry to god to make this war happen and to kill all our enemy’s , and the fact that we hear the terrible things that are happening we should believe that there’s a god watching us because if not we have lost isreal long ago
