Stingy

Yesterday Jan Egeland, the UN humanitarian aid chief, was quoted as calling Western nations "stingy" in their response to the devastation caused by the tsunamis. So to whom was he referring? The US has at this point pledged $35 million. A FoxNews graphic showed the contributions of a few other nations; Japan pledged $30 million, Australia $7.6 million, a few other European nations pledged in the $2 to $5 million range. France, that beacon of morality and humanitarianism, pledged $135,000. Yes, that is correct - $135 thousand. I guess the people of South Asia simply haven't killed enough Jews for the French to care about them. For comparison, as of 8:25 pm those dullwitted, warmongering, unilateral Americans - the people, not the government - have donated close to $500,000 to the Red Cross just through Amazon.

Now that Sri Lanka has publicly rejected assistance from the evil Israeli military, I figure the French money should start to roll in.
