The statistics bureau reported $976 million in damage and $408 million in lost trade, wages and other income in the first 17 days of the Israeli assault. About 4,000 houses were destroyed and 16,000 damaged, said director Luay Shabaneh. He said 30 Hamas security compounds, 15 government ministries and the main government complex were demolished. .............. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090114/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_palestinians_rebuilding_gaza Now EU and the world has to rebuild the destroyed houses and the government buildings in Gaza. This Israely leadership must be very smart. They destroy somebody else pays for their s$#@4... I still don't understand why is US supporting them, since Israel is nothing, but an endless trouble for America and her neighbors..... Please do correct me if I am wrong. I do want Israel to be the good guy, and If I missed the Israel's good deeds please mention them... May be it is time the one who does the damage be responsible for it's reconstruction .... I don't want my tax money to be used for crimes against humanity. It is about time there is a referendum in US about the free $10bln a year donation that US gives to Israel. This money is giving nothing but bad Karma to US. It is like giving money to a criminal. You give the bad $100 to help him, but he goes and buys a gun with the money and then he kills somebody with it. What good did you do by giving him the money? It's better not to give him any money in the first place. Look here how the US help is used by Israel. (Graphic video) Do you think that children of Gaza will ever forget what Israel has done to them? The lack of water, food, housing, lost family members .... If you look for Love you have to show some starting with your neighbor .....
