This reads like the list of countries who also came to the aid of Muslims when the Tsunami hit. And now they are helping black Christians in Haiti.
May I ask, maybe, why the Muslim countries are not doing anything? And where is the "Palestinian Cause" when people really are starving?
And why did Gaza get four billion dollars while Haiti, which has just lost two percent of her population and ALL its infrastructure, gets a measly 100 million dollars (and maybe a bit more)?
Would Haiti get more if Haitians pledged to exterminate the Jews, like the people of Gaza did when they voted for Hamas?
