Title: once again, can't help those who won't help themselves, or must be Bush's fault.

American Jewish donors had bought more than 3,000 greenhouses from Israeli settlers in Gaza for $14 million last month and transferred them to the Palestinian Authority. Former World Bank President James Wolfensohn, who brokered the deal, put up $500,000 of his own money.

Palestinian police watched yesterday as looters carried materials from greenhouses in several settlements, and commanders complained they did not have enough manpower to protect the buildings. In some instances, there was no security and in others, police joined the looters, witnesses said.

Palestinians looted dozens of greenhouses yesterday, walking off with irrigation hoses, water pumps, and plastic sheeting in a blow to fledgling efforts to reconstruct the Gaza Strip.





How soon before we start hearing that the world need to send food aid to Gaza because they have 'No means" to grow food themselves.

Yeah, but the difference is, the Palestinians deserve to suffer from disaster, dehydration, and starvation.

They've behaved no better than animals for years, and should be treated as such.
