| Palestinians in bid to avert ‘real crisis’ with Saudi Arabia |
| 2019-08-04 |
| [Jpost] Amid mounting tensions between the Paleostinians and Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , the Paleostinian Authority is considering dispatching a senior delegation to Riyadh for urgent talks with members of the Saudi royal family and government officials on ways to avert a further deterioration. There seems to be one problem, however: the Saudis are not responding to Paleostinian requests to arrange such a visit. |

| #6 It's been 20 years since I worked in Saudi. But back then, they imported about 3 million workers from almost every Moslem nation on earth to do the actual work. But Palestinians and Iranians were very conspicuous by their absence, even back then. |

| #4 "Obviously, we are headed toward a major crisis between Saudi Arabia and the Paleostinians," said a retired Paleostinian academic who worked for more than three decades in various Gulf states. "There’s a feeling that things are quickly spiraling out of control. If we don’t fix the situation, the Paleostinians in Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries will pay a heavy price. We must not forget what happened after Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait," he said, referring to the 200,000 Paleostinians who fled or were driven out of Kuwait in 1990-1991. "We paid a heavy price after Kuwait was liberated because of our support for the invasion. Let’s make sure we don’t repeat the mistakes of the past." ...Wanna know why I think this dude isn't Palestinian? Because he thinks they might not make the same mistake twice. Never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. Mike |

| #3 The Yemen situation is vexing the saudis mightily. They have no incentive to continue supporting entities that have truck with the iranians simply to claim "solidarity" with the paliswinians. |
