This is nothing more than a cynical PR attempt lessen the shockwaves of the international community’s response to the Zionist state's slaughter of Palestinian children, women and men. The UN is impotent because it has failed to force the Zionist State of Israel to suspend its vicious and most sickening blockade of Gaza. So 10M worthless American dollars-which will be printed by U.S private bank- because Israel receives billion of dollars from the United States and Germany- will not change the aggressive policies of the Israel toward the Palestinians.

These is just too much!!! U.N. proved ıts self as nothing! Absolutely powerless organization when it comes to Israel! I am just curious what would be the responce of U.N. to any other nation which would bomb their HQ ın some country? I ask and I answer. They, and the western medıa would do everything and anything to make that country look like agressors and the bad guys! I am sure they would impliment countrles sanction against that country till it would give in! but why these was not the case with Israel? why all Israel had to did was to say sorry it was an accident and everyone forget about it? why these so called almighty U.N. was silent when Israel was bombing and killing thousands of people in lebanon and palestine? Something to think about!! I have no respect for U.N. And now Israel is throwing to U.N. a bone as to say dont worry, we will pay for those destroide structures, and there is more where it comes from! Just be a good boy and dont get involve in our business of genocide of innocent!!! Fate it seems, not without a sence of irony!(

Agree with EML, Akin and Sarah. Dealing with Isrealies requires abandoning principles and policies that apply to all others. Therefore, if Isreal requires a unique set of rules found no where else on this planet, then they should find another world in which to live.
