"So T-Bird: how does that compare with the aid given to Israel during the same period?"

This is an example of a question that is both demeaning and unserious.
It is put out there to try to implant an equivalence between Palestinian and Israeli aid hoping that no one will actually care to consider it.

I hope Greg F. is not a lawyer. The first rule is never to ask a question one doesn't know the answer to--or in this case probably knows the answer to and hopes to skate on.
