26. Should there have been a sarcasm tag at the end of yr post?
'The numbers show that the Arab countries hate Israel so much...' etc...

Numbers tend to show what anyone looks at them wants to read into them. In this case it'd be that no matter what number was in the $$$column, there'd be an incorrect claim made that Arab states don't supply aid to the Palestinians. What next? Complaints that coz they don't give aid to Israel that shows how much they hate Israel?

Also, what linked article are you referring to? It wasn't the Gideon Levy one, but I may have missed it. Also, it seems to be a bit suspicious as the US only gave $70m in aid last year, and that Saudi Arabia is supposedly the only ME country that gives aid to the Palestinian Authority, especially as the article I posted specifically talked about Arab states and not one state only...
