Reader comment on item: That Surreal Gaza Reconstruction Conference
in response to reader comment: DR. Pipes, you were so right . How painful
Submitted by Anne-Marie Delcambre (France), Mar 4, 2009 at 10:53
Dumb is too mild a word to describe this "International Conference in Support of the Palestinian Economy for the Reconstruction of Gaza" !
What madness ! the folly of the international community allocating enormous funds to the reconstruction of Gaza !
"re-build" Gaza ? Surreal is the right word.
