Sounds good. Great theory.  But my point is nothing has changed since the
last time you claimed this would happen.  The Arab countries tend to talk
big, but are very reluctant to put their money where their mouth is. Right
after the Hamas election you claimed this, but the salaries are still not
being paid and the Palestinians are struggling to find a way to get Western
aid in the country. Nothing has changed and I don't know what you are
basing this new claim on now.
