I read some history over the weekend and was surprised by the quarrels between the Palestinians and some of their Arab 'friends'.

In 1971 the Jordanians fought a brief war with the PLO and threw them out of the country after the Palestinians tried to assassinate the King of Jordan.

Also in the 70s, the Syrians tried to have Arafat assassinated and succeeded in killing one of his top commanders.

In the 90s the Saudis cut off their financial aid to the Palestinians after they supported Saddam in the Gulf War, causing considerable hardship.

I suspect that the rest of the Arab leaders may not care too much about the Palestinians and their plight, and that there will probably be lots of talk and little action.
