Why would UN rush in with megabucks and repair a place that instigates and perpetuates bombing and gets bombed back?

Kitty, I am sorry that you would oppose the rebuilding of some of the infrastructure in Gaza to be supervised by the UN. It is not to be financed by the UN although obviously there are costs in their supervision task. You are of course aware that this agreement was made by Israel with the PA to attempt to assure that construction materials delivered are used for civilian purposes not things like tunnel building.

The surest way to keep the radicals in power is to keep the population in poverty and full of desperation. Please try to remember that if there had not been a United Nations, there would not have been the creation of the state of Israel. This is exactly the kind of reason we need a UN. Only such an organization would have standing with both Israel and the PA to attempt such a mediation. Or of course they can endlessly slaughter each other and never again attempt any form of cooperation which might lead to some peaceful solution.
