5. Saudi Arabia probably cares less about Israeli-Palestinean tension than getting the $$ from its oil exports, which it very much needs.

Victor - I think the dollars form oil exports will come regardless. From all accounts I've read, the Saudis are very much involved in support for the Palestinians - check this out:

"It also approved a proposal by Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz to send funds totalling $US1 billion ($1.89 billion) to help fund the Palestinian uprising."

"While Prince Abdullah had on Saturday made an unusually hardline speech attacking his country's longtime ally, the US, and urging Arab states to cut all ties with Israel, the league defied calls from demonstrators across the Middle East demanding a holy war against Israel."
