CNN just showed some video of a Saudi telethon to raise money for the Palestinians. Why now? The Palestinians economic plight is not a recent development. The Saudi's have never really cared before.
Despite their contention that this money is to go to economic development and rebuilding, it is really money for a war against Israel. Their talks of peace are bogus. They only want to see Israel driven into the sea.
If you ever want to know if an Arab is really serious about peace with Israel see if they are willing to renounce the claim for a "right of return." This requirement would effectively mean the end of the state of Israel. Jews would suddenly become a very small minority in their own country and, if other Arab states are any indication, they would likely be slaughtered.
Not that the Jews in Israel would want it, but there's never any talk of a "right of return" for them or their descendants. When Israel was created, all of the Arab countries kicked them out.
No Arab who demands the right of return is ever interested in real peace. Remember that when you see them interviewed on TV.
