American Entropy: What if Saudi Arabia supported Hamas?

29 June 2007

What if Saudi Arabia supported Hamas?

I stated in a post below that the situation in Palestine and in the debate surrounding it is often (conveniently) incomplete
[s]trangely missing is all the evidence that exists that fingers Saudi Arabia and Kuwait as supporting Hamas. I guess that isn't convenient for DC punditry or the Bush administrations foreign policy ... but it's a salient point nonetheless.

Here is another bit of evidence:
Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah has skipped a meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on a visit to Jordan, Al Jazeera reported on Friday.

Abbas was reportedly kept waiting at a palace room for a telephone call that never came. Al Jazeera said the move appeared "deliberate".

It's not an endorsement of "Hamastan" but says a lot about the status of Fatah and Abbas in Riyadh.
