Palestinian refugees donate $10,000 to Katrina disaster victims....
Some of the poorest people on earth found a way to take up a collection and donate $10,000 to Katrina victims. I think we took money or aid from everyone except Castro. And if we took money from Castro, the Repubs would lose Florida. The Cubans in Miami would not stand for that.

1. I'm really surprised that we accepted that
As well as money from Bangladesh and Afghanistan. These are some of the most impoverished countries in the world. We should thank them for the thought and give it back.

4. I know they offered
Honestly, I'm not sure if we accepted, but haven't heard otherwise. I'll have to check out some sites for accuracy.
