#1 I like this. Sooner or later the Saudis and Iranians will develop donor fatigue. Even in these days of oil profits, how much cash do the Mullahs and the Princes have? If they have to start funding Pali development, that's less cash for terror, nukes, international Islamic centers across the globe, etc. The down side is that Soddy and Iranians get more influence in Pali land. But it's hard to see how that would make things any worse.

#2 Iran will pay if only to use it to goad Israel and to infiltrate Hamas even more.

#3 Tahe other side of donor relationships is the 'bite the hand that feeds you' effect.

Let the Mullahs start giving direction to Hamas on water purification, street repair, etc. and the Mullahs will begin to be hated in Paleoland. The Saudis are already hated by most Paleos (who see the Saudis as lackeys of the west).

#4 Iran is likely to say they gave at the office. Their official contribution to the Global War on Terror is Hezbollah, a leading competitor of Hamas.

#5 This delegation, which has already visited Egypt, Qatar and Turkey "would also visit Iran, Malaysia and South Africa."

Don't forget Zimbabwe, boys. They got tons and tons of money. And they'll print you all you want...

#6 Let's be sure to announce loudly and vociferously that all donors are contributors to a known terrorist organization.
