should the us give aid to palestine?

No, US should not give any aid to Palestine because it is just for 'show off'. \n\nUS should not give aid, especially military aid to Israel because it supports the conflict and 'unlawful use of force' of Israel to Palestinian.\n\n\n\n"Israel remained the largest recipient of U.S. military and economic aid, receiving almost U.S.$3 billion in 2005. \n\nIn contrast, after a May meeting between Bush and Abbas, Bush pledged U.S.$50 million in aid to the Palestinian Authority (P.A.) for housing and other construction following the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. However Congress later earmarked part of this money to be used to beef up “border crossings” along the wall, which are mostly located on occupied West Bank land. \n\nIn September 2005, following the Israeli withdrawal, the United States approved disbursement of a U.S.$3 million supplemental grant to the P.A. security services." \n\nSource: Human Rights Watch\nhttp://hrw.org/english/docs/2006/01/18/isrlpa12224.htm

No, I don't think so. US is contributing very little money to help clear poverty around the world. Only UK and Australia did that largely. I'm not sure with this answer.

It's the USA that is the problem, it seems only they can stop Israeli aggresion, but they support it, maybe even suggest/order it

Yes some of us do. I honestly do not understand why we have never recognized a Palestian state. Clinton tried his best to get Arafat to accept that when he was president. When Arafat died, I saw on PBS that he stated declining Clinton's offer was his biggest regret.\n\nSome of us do believe it wasn't right for outside nations to walk in and give land to a group of ppl ... creating Israel. BUT, it is done and can't be undone now. \n\nLike I said, if the world would just give Palestian a state with set borders, I really think 90% of the conflict would at least BEGIN to get resolved.

If you are truly against "funding" other countries, then why not include egypt, which recives almost as much money as israel along with several other arab/muslim nations. The money has nothing to do with your question. In a world with 57 muslim states, there is enough room for one jewish state of israel. Sorry you find that disagreeable.

After WW2, the UN proposed a seperate state for the Jews in Palestine. The Allied powers effectively drawed up various Arab states that were previously ruled by western colonial powers. Israel was meant for the Jews, and yes there was a seperate Palestinian state proposed. The Arabs had mixed feelings about a Jewish state, but most of the local Arabs in Palestine welcomed it. But what happened was that some of the Jewish militias started to sieze the already drawn up Palestinian lands and worst of all terrorizing and killing the local Arabs. Those militias had some powerful backup from abroad, especially in the US. Many of those backup organizations are non government organizations and many well known businesses. The militias fought for more land and resources and of course killing people, inlcuding children. Israel's first prime minister Ben Gurion once said   “We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population.” That's what the Israelis did and still do so more efficiently. There are many powerful organizations in the US that observe every inch of content as to what is presented in the US media to the American public, so no one knows exactly what really goes on in the occupied territories in Palestine. So, my friend, it is Israel that occupies Palestine with full fledged US support and not the other way around. That is the truth and the whole truth. Peace be upon you.

No, it can't.\n"Israelis" has done a lot of guiltiest in the "Palestinian" land, including murdering, destroying houses, running out people of their lands, torturing, etc.\nYou know, Israel is only country round the world that "torturing" is legal in their damn laws.\nIf US doesn't support them some independent countries will punish them as well...!\n\nAlso, someone mentioned 6-days war. US was supporting Israel at the time completely, including weapons, satellite maps for destroying Egyptian and Syria Air bases, spying against those Arab coutries during the war and after that, etc.

Fantastic question! \n\nI'd get rid of those pesky Palestinians in a heartbeat! They are nothing but troublemakers worthy of death.\n\nTell us your choice in an update!

Turn the Israeli army loose, no holds barred, no politics, screw the UN, and there would be no more palestinian problem. That's my solution.\nBTW, there was never a country of "Palestine". It was just a name for the region. It's kind of like saying there should be a new country named "Outback" in Australia. "Palestine" is a made-up cause, promoted by islamists in order to justify terrorism.

The USA doesnt dislike Muslims and Arabs. They dislike getting shot at and blown up. We have been giving aid to many Muslim countries such as Palestine and Pakistan. We are allies with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and UAE.

NO! We must continue to assist Israel and if we are going to abandon anyone it should be the radical Asian and Arab countries that hate us.

No. I think Hammas must be made to recognize Israel as a state, but at the same time, Israel needs to remove themselves back to the pre-1967 borders. I am not saying that the U.S. needs to get involved militarily, but rather as an arbitrator. Whomever kidnapped that 19 yr. Israeli soldier needs to be taken to trial, Hammas needs to denounce violence and recognize Israel, and Israel needs to retreat back to the original borders set by the U.N. in 1948.

If that happens the US will pull all our funding and whatever troops that are under their peacekeeper control.\n\nWithout US support there is NO UN.  \n\nSo they can try.  I would love to get rid of that organization it has done nothing but steal, bad mouth the US and Israel, and waste our money.\n\nWe haven't done anything that we shouldn't have anyway.  Well the Bay of Pigs but that was Kennedy leaving the Cubans out to dry

I just pray that America won't fall to where we need help from anyone any where as I do believe we would be in deep sh,, I don't know of any country that we have not did some thing bad to if there is one please tell me,unless the U,N changes quickly it doesent help anyone except the ones who are in charge of it, as they pocket the money received and to hell with everyone else, the only country we had any right to ask for help from would be Israel since we have supported them and put them in hog heaven for the past 60 years , but, I guarantee they would not do any thing for us unless they could get paid back ten fold,
