And if a disaster happened in a nation like Iran or Turkey most
predominantely
Christian nations wouldn't care. What's your point?
I don't disagree with that but my post is my opinion and I believe it to be true. Oh by the way The U.S.A. is not a Christian nation. Our country belongs to all our people no matter what religion they adhere to and we seem to be the one who helps the most. Oops did I post with my spell check still on ? Sorry bout that !
Where is the american aid to the palesitians for the last 65 years?Israeli aid to haiti is funded by the 10 BILLION DOLLARS given Israel every year by the USA.
Maybe if the palestinians would stop blowing up Americans and encouraging others to go on jihad in their name they would get more aid.
You people are ridiculous. Why do you think Israel is helping Haiti? Maybe because the United States gives Israel 13.7 million dollars EVERY SINGLE DAY.
But "Oh look at how much Israel is doing in proportion to the size of their country blah blah". Want to talk about the size of their country, maybe you conveniently fail to realize that Israel has the highest amount of fighter jets out of any other country besides the USA. That makes sense doesn't it?
Why the hell do you think Turkey is slow to respond? 80% of the people there live in complete poverty. Do you expect Rwanda to give millions of dollars in aid?
Receiving aid is a privelege is not a right. Funny too because it's usually the right wingers complaining about the fact America is giving to aid Haiti.
Well, this thread made it to 3 posts before a right-wing comment was made...

Palestinians killing americans?1967 Israel attacked an AMERICAN NAVEL SHIP KILLING 70 AMERICAN SAILORS.There reward was more aid.
Dont forget and an Admiral was relieved of duty because he tried to launch not 1 but 2 sorties to go to the aid of the USS Liberty. Both times he was ordered to stand down.
LBJ" We will not embarassn Israel" Followed by 20 years of cover up and denials.

Check your history fella! The U.S., at least, has responded to Muslim nations during disaster (not always received or accepted), communist (ditto) nations, budist (sp?) nations and so many others. I cannot think of a single natural disaster in my lifetime where the U.S. has not offered, at least, help. Didn't the "Christian nations" offer much aid to Indonesia? Isn't Indonesia Muslim?
Israel offered and supplied help to Turkey in 1999 following an earthquake and offered help to Iran in 2003 following the earthquake that devistated Bam but Iran refused aid from Israel.

Reason: spelling
Turkey,egypt.jordan,saudis are lap dogs for the USA and Israel when it comes to the palestinians.Today a English newspaper says 1.4 Million palestinians are deprived of medical help from 80 humanitaran organization by the Egypt and Israel military.
