Saudis agree to finance a Hamas Government in PA

2006-03-14

DEBKAfile Exclusive: Saudi Arabia promises a Hamas-led Palestinian government will not be short of moneySaudi media kept a tight lid on the visit to Riyadh of a five-man Hamas delegation headed by Damascus-based politburo chief Khaled Meshaal. At the same time, the visitors were given a red carpet welcome by Muslim Brotherhood websites which are popular with the Saudi public. These websites advised all Palestinian organizations and the Palestinian people that if they throw their support behind a Hamas government they will not be short of funds. [...]

Color me skeptical, the Saudis only love their Noble Paleo Brethren(tm) when they are down and out. But if this story is true, I'd rather have Soddy cash going down the rathole.

#2 it's not that they love their paleo brethren. it's that they hate joooos.

that's always been the equation. had they truly cared about the paleos, they wouldn't have "suffered" all these years.

seems that "hate" is the great motivator in the arab world.
