    Misleading.

    US has given more aid than any country in the world to Gaza >> that's what you meant to say. Still, I think this changed since Qatar got involved. They pledged $400m last month.

    The US has given more economic and military aid to Israel than any country in the world except Afghanistan. They receive more than 4 times the amount Gaza and West Bank receive. More importantly, Israel is allowed, by approval from the US congress IIRC, to purchase the highest calibre weapons which are not available to the "free market".

    He was condemned for his attacks by most. The ones who worshiped were just as wrong as him. I agree that the settlements in the West Bank should not be there.

    He was a solo-dolo psychopath who had nothing to do with most Israelis. However when a terrorist or martyr follows through with an attack killing the innocent he is praised by his government and the majority of his people.

    The fate of the population should not rely on the wrong-doing of the government.

    If you believe this, you heavily lean to the wrong side of the conflict. The fate of the innocent population disproportionately relies on the wrong-doing of the government in Gaza. In Israel, the wrongdoing of the government has cost the lives of 3 or 7 civilian Israelis. In Gaza, it has cost the lives of 30+ civilians, with the other 40 alleged to be linked somehow to Hamas by the IDF. This 40 of course would even include everyone from the contractors to the coffee boy who works for Hamas to feed his family, and also to the family of Hamas members.

    Since you said "all this money" I assume you're referring to Israel. IIRC 100% of the $3bn aid goes towards the defense budget of $18bn per year (or roughly 6 times the GDP of Gaza.)

    How is it misleading. The middle east has done nothing for gaza. They treat them like the orphan step child. US has still given way more than qatar or any other country in the middle east.

    I hope the US makes its own oil so we can just get out of the region and let those countries just nuke it out.

    Everyone hope US should just get out. If US is out, the peace will be back to that area for sure.

    my bible? i'm not christian. I don't understand the question 'what should someones fate be?'. That makes no sense. Do you mean if this is a just world what do I think should happen to the Palestinians?

    The fate of the Palestinians won't be good. The Palestinian's fate is also of their own making and any blame for this should be put on the Palestinians and their leaders, Hamas. Palestinians tolerate Hamas and give them power. There are consequences when your leaders commit war crimes. They are usually bad.

    Usually, unless you happen to be Amuuuuuuurica or closely associated (Israel being the most).
