Priorities
Scanning through the list of those in need my eyes fall on a couple of them including, the homeless and the injured in Iraq, the Orphans in Palestine, the many who still havent recovered in Afghanistan, those who lost everything they owned in the Huirricane Katrina, starving children in some parts of Africa, those who lost home and family in the Pakistan earthquake and then of course there were those Israelis who were suffering from not having a soccer stadium.
Qatar, growing on as one of the richest due to its gas reserves, knew its priorities very well. Its quite obvious which of these people need aid immediately.
The newspaper headline reassured Qatar's ability in recognising this
Qatar donates $6 million for Israel Stadium
What would become of those poor people if they dont get to play soccer in their very own stadium.
Take a minute to imagine how the world would change if all the other rich countries were to do as Qatar has.
Switching off the sarcastic tone, in conclusion, not only are the rich and powerful becoming richer and more powerful, but all the rich are helping each other achieve the goal of making this happen. So many people (upto 45,000) were killed and several others still missing and many others homeless, so many children left orphaned by the recent, tragic earthquake. And if those who are loaded are unwilling to help their recovery, then I believe that a day will come when a portion of the world will soon get completely wiped out, purely due to our ignorance and carelessness.
