WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States plans to offer more than $900 million to help rebuild Gaza after Israel's invasion and to strengthen the Western-backed Palestinian Authority, U.S. officials said on Monday.
The money, which needs U.S. congressional approval, will be distributed through U.N. and other bodies and not via the militant group Hamas, which rules Gaza, said one official.
"This money is for Gaza and to help strengthen the Palestinian Authority. It is not going to go to Hamas," said the official, who asked not to be named as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton planned to announce the funding at a donors' conference in Egypt next week. More here:

Ok, first of all, Hamas runs that place. The money WILL end up in the hands of Hamas. If you don't think so, you must be one of the people who are shocked every morning when the sun rises.
Second, we're "rebuilding" Gaza? How long until the terrorists start sending rockets into Israel and then Israel bombs it again? Has our government become a bunch of clucking idiots -- or is it that they could not possibly care less what they do with YOUR money?

They actually said was rearm Gaza with more sophisticated rockets, but they changed the wording figuring we would not get it.
