When the homeland is perfect, then we can help those abroad. Just like I will never donate to those in Africa (aside from my belief that it's the most corrupt place and probably goes straight to the gangs) because there are millions here that are in need of help *and* deserving of that help.

In my opinion, what the US donates to Palestinians is merely a thinly veiled attempt at trying to win over the Muslim population so that we can be more aggressive with countries like Iran, more welcome to conduct bombings in Pakistan and maintain the thin relations the we have with other countries in the Middle East.

For comparison's sake: $225M is the equivalent of paying 4500 people a $50k/year salary, not including benefits.
