Moving from Gaza to Egypt would be like an American moving to Canada. Not that much different. And you tell me if having your children alive is worth leaving friends and family behind.

Yeah, as if many Americans would volunteerly move to Canada. :lol:
 
I found this to be intriguing:

The U.S. will give an estimated $26 billion in foreign aid in 2008—70% more than when President George W. Bush took office (the figure doesn’t include funds related to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan). More than 150 countries get financial assistance from the U.S. Here are the six that received the most this year.

1. Israel -- $2.4 billion.

Virtually all of this money is used to buy weapons (up to 75% made in the U.S.). Beginning in 2009, the U.S. plans to give $30 billion over 10 years.
