18. Even though I'm a Palestinian supporter,
I have to applaud Israel's generosity in this case. We should all do so. I doubt the people affected by the tsunami care where their aid is coming from.

As for the rest Dr. Don mentioned:
Saudi Arabia: $10 million
Jordan: $12 million
Egypt: $13 million
Lebanon: $7 million
Kuwait: $8 million
France: $23 million

This was from Reuters, in a country by country breakdown of where the aid is coming from. I'd give you the link, but it seems they have already shut it down. There's also a lot of physical help coming from these countries, by way of supplies and people on the ground. If I find specifics, I'll post them.

I applaud their generosity, and I think all Israeli supporters should as well. For the tsunami, it's time for us to abandon politics and help the victims.
