Tralls, if the Arabs care so much about protecting the Palestinians from harm, where is *their* desire to protect the (black) people of Sudan today? There were 50,000 Sudanese killed by Arab tribesmen in the past 18 months, yet all the Arabs in the M.E. care about is a few people killed in Palestine. Sounds a bit inconsistent to me...

I could of course point at the anger over the attacks on refugee camps by Lebanese Christians while the Israelis looked on, but the lack of anger over the attacks on refugee camps by the Jordanian army to expel the PLO. Or the anger over the Palestinians in general, but the unwillingness to empty the refugee camps and give them a better live. Or the inconsistent anger over the Palestinians, but not the Kurds. Anger over the Saudi-Arabian govenment, but not the Iranian one. Etc, etc.

I'd say the Arabs should look in the mirror for once, instead of being angry at the West. Contrary to what they think, not all their problems are our fault.

My 3 cents...
