How much humanitarian aid would this have been in dollars?

Simply not sending these weapons would be humanitarian aid

Probably about 10% of what it will cost to rebuild Palestine (assuming that Palestinians aren't ethnically cleansed from all of Palestine).

"What would the value of this be if it were spent on humanitarian aid instead?"
