The conference at the Egyptian resort city of Sharm El-Sheik gathered the presidents of Egypt and France, the U.N. chief and top diplomats from 45 nations - including Hillary Rodham Clinton in her first Mideast trip as U.S. secretary of state - in a high-profile attempt to show international support for reconstruction after Israel's crippling offensive against Hamas.
But the broader message was that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and his rivals, the militant Hamas, must resolve their dispute and form a government that can move ahead with rebuilding in Gaza and return to the negotiating table with Israel.
Clinton issued a blunt call at the conference for urgent action to forge a comprehensive Arab-Israeli peace, saying, "The top priority now is to reach a truce in Gaza between the Israeli and Palestinian sides.
"We cannot afford more setbacks or delays - or regrets about what might have been, had different decisions been made," she said in apparent reference to the failure of previous peace initiatives, including those pushed vigorously by her husband's administration.
CBS News correspondent Charles Wolfson, reporting from the summit, said Clinton also told attendees the U.S. would "work with our Palestinian partners, President Abbas and Prime Minister (Salam) Fayyed, to address critical humanitarian, budgetary and security and infrastructure needs.
"We will work with the Palestinian Authority to install safeguards to ensure that our money is only used where and for whom it is intended and does not end up in the wrong hands," she added in her prepared remarks.
British Foreign Secretary David Miliband warned "there will be only limited physical reconstruction without political reconstruction" and stressed that Palestinians "need a single government across the Occupied Territories" - a direct appeal for rival Palestinian factions to hammer out a unity government.
The 80 nations and international organizations at Monday's gathering in this Red Sea resort pledged $5.2 billion, Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit told reporters. Most of that amount - $4.48 billion - comes from new pledges, while the rest are old, unfulfilled pledges that donors recommitted to giving, he said.
Aboul Gheit says the figure is "beyond of our expectations."
Palestinian Planning Minister Samir Abdullah said the money is earmarked for humanitarian aid to Gaza, rebuilding in the territory and budget support to the West Bank-based Palestinian Authority. He could not immediately say how much was going to each fund.
The biggest donor is Saudi Arabia with $1 billion, followed by the United States, which promised $900 million, a third for humanitarian aid to Gaza and the rest to assist the Palestinian Authority of President Mahmoud Abbas.
CBS News' George Baghdadi, also reporting from Sharm El-Sheik, said that the biggest challenge facing the aid summit is not getting the money pledged, but figuring out how to channel it to those who need it, and not into the hands of the Hamas movement.
The international community refuses to negotiate with Gaza's militant Hamas rulers, considered a terrorist group by the United States and Israel. Hamas was not invited to the conference in this Red Sea resort. But Abbas' government, based in the West Bank, has little presence in Gaza after being driven out by Hamas in 2007.
In a significant move, Arab Gulf nations - including Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait - pledged $1.6 billion, but bypassed both Hamas and Abbas. The Gulf nations said in a statement they would set up a joint office in Gaza to carry out reconstruction on their own, deciding on projects and implementing them.
With the move, Gulf countries may be trying to signal to Hamas that Gulf nations are not favoring Abbas, hoping to encourage the militant group to moderate and reconcile with his Palestinian Authority.
Karen AbuZayd, the head of the U.N. aid agency for Palestinian refugees, told the AP that many donor nations had discussed possibly using the United Nations as an alternative route to avoid the sticky issue of who controls the funds.
"Certain donors have come forward to ask, and some of the regional parties as well have thought, that perhaps the U.N. could do more than what it's doing or what is its mandate," she said.
Baghdadi reports that, in his opening remarks, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said that only a "national Palestinian government" should handle aid money through a "transparent international mechanism" accepted by all.
Mubarak warned that the donors' pledges should not be treated as "spoils of war" - a message to rival Palestinian factions not to squabble over the funds.
He also said reconstruction will depend on reaching a long-term truce between Hamas and Israel, which Egypt is trying to mediate, and the opening up of Gaza's border crossings, which have been largely closed since Hamas took over the territory.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy said "responsible Palestinians" should seek peace with Israel and said a prisoner exchange by Hamas to release Israeli soldier Gilad Schalit, held by Gaza militants since June 2006, "is a priority." Israel has demanded Schalit's release as part of any truce deal.
"You must admit that there is no other road to the creation of a Palestinian state but to engage resolutely in searching for a political solution and engage in a dialogue with Israel," Sarkozy said in a clear message to the militant group.
Abbas asked participants to adopt his prime minister Salam Fayyad's reconstruction plan, describing it as a "national comprehensive development plan" and promised the reconstruction would be based on "transparency and justice."
Fayyad has prepared a 53-page plan for the donors, including detailed damage assessments. For example, fixing war damage to infrastructure and homes would cost $501 million, according to the plan, which says 4,036 homes were destroyed and 11,514 damaged.
Hamas spokesmen Fawzi Barhoum sought to dispel fears his group was trying to grab funds but also said they shouldn't be channeled through Abbas. He urged the conference to work out "meaningful mechanisms" to get money directly to Gazans "without going into the internal Palestinian political differences."

===Useless United Nations===
The [[United Nations]] is beholden to Arabs and tries to portray Israel as the offender. This is the same U.N. that couldn't define 'Terrorism' for eight plus years. Hundreds of rockets have landed in Israel without a comment by the U.N., Israel forces seek to defend itself and the U.N. makes loud official statements demanding an end of hostilities. The news media is complicit, never taking interest in rockets slamming Israel as much as they give credit to Arab nations protesting [[Israeli]] attacks. The Arab world will never protest Hamas or Hezbollah targeting innocent civilians.
The Arab power (via oil, terrorizing representatives and threats of "angry Arab street") control over the UN is immense.

Poll after poll shows that a solid majority of Palestinians from all socio-economic levels supports suicide bombers and other forms of terrorism against Israel. In fact the polls show that the higher the socio-economic level of the respondents, the stronger their support for terrorism. Virulent, Nazi-style Jew hatred and dehumanization has become for the Palestinians, as for the Germans before them, the central unifying theme of society.

===Current===
====Judenstaatrein====
'''Judenstaatrein''', deputy prime minister of Sweden, pithily concluded: "Compared to most previous anti-Jewish outbreaks, this [new anti-Semitism] is often less directed against individual Jews. It attacks primarily the collective Jews, the State of Israel. And then such attacks start a chain reaction of assaults on individual Jews and Jewish institutions? In the past, the most dangerous anti-Semites were those who wanted to make the world Judenrein, 'free of Jews.' Today, the most dangerous anti-Semites might be those who want to make the world Judenstaatrein, 'free of a Jewish state.'"
One of the best exoerts on anti semitism Irwin Cotler writes in an article titled "Making the world 'Judenstaatrein'", he elaborates about Islamic Genocidal Anti Semitism": <i>There are three manifestations of this genocidal anti-Semitism. The first is the state-sanctioned - indeed state-orchestrated - genocidal anti-Semitism of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad?s Iran, dramatized by the parading in the streets of Teheran of a Shihab-3 missile draped in the emblem "wipe Israel off the Map," while demonizing both the State of Israel as a "cancerous tumor to be excised? and the Jewish people as "evil incarnate."
A second manifestation of this genocidal anti-Semitism is in the covenants and charters, platforms and policies of such terrorist movements and militias as Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hizbullah and al-Qaida, which not only call for the destruction of Israel and the killing of Jews wherever they may be, but also for the perpetration of acts of terror in furtherance of that objective.
The third manifestation of this genocidal anti-Semitism is the religious fatwas or execution writs, where these genocidal calls in mosques and media are held out as religious obligations - where Jews and Judaism are characterized as the perfidious enemy of Islam, and Israel becomes the Salmon Rushdie of the nations.

The New Anti-Semitism, hostility to Jews is strongest among those on the Left who claim to be fighting racism... <font color=red>anti-Zionism is now being used to cloak a terrifying nexus between genocidal Arab and Islamist hatred of the Jews and deep-seated European prejudices</font>, Anti-Semitism is protean, mutating over the centuries into new forms. Now it has changed again, into a shape which requires a new way of thinking and a new vocabulary. The new anti-Semitism does not discriminate against Jews as individuals on account of their race. Instead, it is centred on Israel, and the denial to the Jewish people alone of the right of self-determination.
This is nothing to do with the settlements or the West Bank. Indeed, the language being used exposes as a cruel delusion the common belief that the Middle East crisis would be solved by the creation of a Palestinian state.

===1920s===
The first arab sponsored terrorist attacks upon Jews occurred in 1920 [http://lindasog.com/public/terrorvictims.htm ] a highlighted tragedy is The Hebron Massacre of 1929 where thousands of Arabs descended from Har Hebron, shouting "Kill the Jews!" in Arabic [http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/History/hebron29.html ] [http://www.saudades.org/Jewish%20_history.htm ].

===1948, the occupation excuse & radical Islamo Arab obsession===
<i>In 1948, five Arab armies tried to choke the Israeli state in embryo form. Days before the invasion, Azzam Pasha, the General Secretary of the Arab League, announced, "This will be a war of extermination, a momentous massacre, which will be spoken of like the Mongolian massacres and the Crusades."
In 1967, Egypt's Nasser declared, a few days before the war, "Our main task is to destroy Israel."
Syria's Assad echoed, "It is time to embark on a war of annihilation."
The same sentiments were voiced in 1973.
Only the fear of yet another resounding defeat or being snuffed out by Israel's nuclear weapons, have since held back Iraq, Iran, Egypt and Syria from new attempts. Yet, the Satanic obsession with "destroying the name of Israel" in Islam keeps growing. Arab maps still do not include Israel and, after the 55 years of de-humanization and demonization of the Jews in Arab propaganda and education system, the psychological grounds are laid for a new genocide.
The clear and present danger of a new Jewish Holocaust ? not just the toothless condemnation of terrorism ? should be the subject of Israeli delegations' presentations at the all the world's Genocide Conferences.</i> [http://israelbehindthenews.com/Archives/Mar-22-04.htm#logic ] - Reply to this comment
- To Qazima1, that rosen guy is no 'rabbi" I would like to know who made hima "rabbi", Are you an IMAM - Qazima?
Yes there is in the Bible some stories about wars and 'killing to the last one' but no one TODAY takes it into practical ideology, however to annhialte jews until the last one? that is common in ISLAM (ISLAMOFASCISM) http://geocities.com/israelvsgenocide
1) Israel by in large is secular and democratic, Israeli soldiers are 90% not re;igious.
2) The war on Arab Musli terror that seek genocide on all Jews has all to do with SELF DEFENSE nothing about "amalekite" crap.
3) Amalekite are not Arabs.
4) Arabs (who most of them immigrated into the land of the Jews in the late 1800 - early 1900) racism - massacres on Jews started in the 1920s among others were the Hebron 1929 massacre & Jerusalem riots, yes, lomg before the INVENTION of excuses like so called "occupation"..

One example:
Acting Speaker of Palestinian Legislative Council: Kill Jews and Americans "to the very last one"
More calls for genocide, while the world yawns.
"Acting Speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council Sheik Ahmad Bahr from Hamas, Declared during a Friday Sermon at a Sudan Mosque that America and Israel Will Be Annihilated and Called upon Allah to Kill the Jews and the Americans 'to the Very Last One,'

- Yesterday I returned from Israel, the West Bank, and the Crossings to Gaza. Gaza has been devastated by Israel. During Operation Cast Lead, Israel used USA tax dollars and USA weapons to carry out this horrific destruction of Gaza. The people there are suffering mightily from this bombing and invasion. Many in this region of the world are have named this tragedy, "The USA Israel War Against Gaza." Hatred for Americans is growing.
I respectfully submit that It is no longer in USA interest to support Israel militarily. All military funding to Israel must stop if we are to have any credibility among the community of nations.
Also reconstruction of Gaza requires that the southern border of Gaza be opened and the blockade by sea ends.

- The Us gives billions to just about every country in the world, Egypt-2 billion..Jordan-1.5 Bil and not to mention that the USA spends over 6 billion to protect Saudia Arabia,Kuwait and the Gulf region.
Israel BUYS their armaments and does not recieve it as a gift any different than the Arab countrys. The only difference is that Israel has never asked for someone like the USA to defend it.
Israel "Kills" Arabs because they want to kill the "Jews" not because they stole any land. Why did the Arabs repeatedly over 60 years refuse to have peace with Israel ?

Good one earth56!
When are they going to understand the reality of the situation!!!!
Meanwhile, palestinians continue shooting rockets at Israel after the true and cease fire.
The world keeps quiet on this one...I wonder WHY?
As long as the world continues supporting the extreme ideology and violent actions of most (not all) of the middle east primitive minds...

- If Hillary had her way, it would all go to Israel.
Posted by intheshade-2009 at 9:59 AM : Mar 2, 2009
Obviously you are ignorant of HRC's history. When she first ran for the Senate, Hillary got into trouble with the NY Jewish leadership by visiting Gaza and denouncing Israeli tactics in settling in the West Bank and for using military means to undermine the peace process and the Palestinian leadership.
She almost lost the Senate race. The Jewish leadership had to recall her and she spent months doing damage control and trying to recant her position.
The fact is, Hillary is about fairness--and there is nothing fair in our position on Israel.
When a country's stated position is that any friend of theirs can do no wrong--then that country (us) CANNOT be the arbiters or brokers of peace because we are too biased. Thus far, America does not censor Israel and blocks the UN from doing so--which means that Israel stays as our perennial adopted state, and also means by extension, whenever Israel does anything to Arab states, they believe they see our proxy. (Which is why we had 9/11)
America needs to grow up and rise above both Israel and Palestinians. To be a true broker of peace, we should try for parity and fairness, and leave the "Pal" and blind loyalty to those who are not in the position to mediate. Who can trust any set up where the judge is already in the pocket or corner of one side or the other?
Anyway, history says Hillary is more tolerant and embracive of Palestine than the pro-Israeli group in NY can remember. Now that she is no longer relying on their vote or support, she is more apt to be her own person and go back to censuring Israel when she thinks they are not paragons of virtue. That may shock her former constituents---but for those of us who remember HRC and her carpetbagging ride into becoming the senator from NYC--this is not surprising at all. - Reply to this comment
- Let me see if I have this right.
The U.S. gives billions to Israel in the form of the latest military equipment to kill the Palestinians and other Arabs.
Then, the U.S. gives billions to the Palestinians which will enable them to use more weapons against Israel and to rebuild their infrastructure which the Israelis will ceratinly destroy.
Am I missing something here?
Nobody ever said our Washington poiticians were smart, did they?

And we sell military hardware to both--with that for Hamas and Hezbollah going through other intermediaries. Watch the "Lords of War" War is BIG BUSINESS. Our biggest export as a matter of fact--all over the world. - Reply to this comment

- Clinton says money won't go in wrong hands. Maybe she means it will go to offshore accounts of the Clinton Foundation.
