| 19. Yes, but the numbers show the Arab countries don't care |

(from the article linkd above)
The Palestinian finances are:
Budget
2005 total: $1.96bn (£1.1bn)
Foreign aid
Total annual aid: About $1bn
Major donors
EU and individual European nations: $570m - $270m for salaries of Palestinian workers and $300m for development and infrastructure projects.
US: $300m exclusively for development projects
Saudi Arabia: $46m
The numbers show that the Arab countries hate Israel so much that Palestine's suffering is leveraged to fuel more hatred of Israel.
