We also give aid to the Palistinians

The United States is the leading provider of bilateral economic and development assistance to the Palestinians, having provided an estimated $2.9 billion since 1994 for programs in the areas of water and sanitation, infrastructure, education, health care, economic growth, and democracy. The United States also is committed to continuing assistance for basic human needs in both the West Bank and Gaza, including emergency food, health care, and access to safe water and sanitation systems. In Gaza, USAID works closely with the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) and local and international nongovernmental organizations.

Programs
Economic Growth
The USAID economic growth program promotes business and agricultural development and job creation through technical assistance and loan programs. USAID supports Palestinian efforts to increase exports, enable investment, generate employment, and improve quality standards. The U.S. Government is also easing the movement of Palestinian people and goods, while improving Israel’s security.

Infrastructure
Road, water, and school construction projects all contribute to improvements in the infrastructure sector. In the coming year, USAID has plans to construct more than 100 kilometers of main arterial and secondary road segments throughout the West Bank. In the water sector, USAID supports not only rapid response and emergency relief capabilities, but also fundamental infrastructure improvements, including expanding access to safe drinking water and sanitation in rural areas, reducing losses from aging water systems, constructing or expanding pipelines and reservoirs to improve water distribution, developing new water resources, and procuring water commodities and construction and engineering management services.

Humanitarian Assistance
To respond to emergencies and reduce poverty, the United States provides emergency food, health care, and access to safe water and sanitation to the people in the West Bank and Gaza. The U.S. Government also contributes to the WFP and to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency’s West Bank and Gaza Emergency Appeal. In 2009, USAID has provided approximately $24 million worth of assistance to vulnerable nonrefugee Palestinian families in the West Bank and Gaza. USAID also provides health and humanitarian assistance commodities, including pharmaceuticals, medical supplies, and nonfood items, to the people of Gaza.

Investing In People
USAID works to improve the ability of the Palestinian Authority Ministry of Health and local health care organizations to meet the public health needs of Palestinian families. Of particular concern is the health of the most vulnerable Palestinians, including women of reproductive age and children under five. USAID will construct three new health care facilities in the West Bank in the coming months.

USAID supports early childhood and basic education to help prepare Palestinian children for a more productive future. This year, USAID will focus on educational quality improvements in 40 public and 17 private schools. Complementary higher education and vocational programs improve the quality of teaching and learning and emphasize critical thinking. USAID will continue to rehabilitate schools and construct new ones to address the need for classroom space to support the rapidly growing population.

Peace and Security
With its border improvement projects, the United States is helping ease the movement of Palestinian people and goods, while improving Israel’s security. USAID is also assisting the Palestinian Monetary Authority and the Palestinian Captial Markets Authority in tracking financial transactions to prevent financial crimes and money laundering.

Governing Justly and Democratically
USAID programs promote respect for human rights, enforcement of the rule of law, and improvement in the Palestinian Authority’s ability to provide for the needs of the public. As a result of USAID support, more than 1,000 justice sector personnel were trained, and the case backlog was reduced by 50 percent. USAID programs also assist civil society organizations and media in holding government accountable and in building a constituency for reform. Finally, USAID provides assistance to the Central Elections Commission to help prepare for the upcoming election.

Isarael is the reason why the U.S. is on code orange right now, maybe if we cut the cord, the hostilities will cool down.

If Iran were to Nuke Israel tomarrow, The WAR would be over...

Israel is The Straw that will break The WORLDS BACK...

Your logic is astounding! You are saying that it is not the person who is shooting the missile that is the problem, it is the person who is having the missile shot at them who started it by having the wrong religious and political views!



If only the United States were an Islamic theocracy with strict observance to Sharia law, then we never would have had those martyrs flying planes into our skyscrapers!



You guys crack me up! Great Satan!

hay what ever kind of DRUGS you been hooked on for the past Decade or so, you better back off, ( Because 911 Really was an inside JOB, and The US Government is up way past their eyeballs in that one... ) , but your free to think anything that you please...

It's wasn't the boogeyman. Al-Qaeda joyfully claims responsibility.
The ties to the hijackers are obvious. Everything is on tape.



But in case you missed it - there are many many many many sources
which discuss why the "inside job conspiracy" is about as credible
as snipe hunting.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9/11_conspiracy_theories

from the Wiki -

Published reports and articles by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology, Popular Mechanics and mainstream media have rejected the 9/11 conspiracy theories.[8][9] The majority of civil engineers state that the impacts of jet aircraft at high speeds in combination with subsequent fires, rather than controlled demolition, led to the collapse of the Twin Towers and WTC 7.[10]

You mean there is no such thing as a snipe?

All the wasted years I've lost hunting them

as soon as I hear "9/11 was an inside job" I extricate myself from the conversation

you cant have a battle of wits with an unarmed person. or worse a person who holds a spoon and fantasizes that it's a gun
